The 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display features Ceramic Shield 2, offering 3x better scratch resistance than the previous generation and reduced glare.1 With MagSafe, users can enjoy fast wireless charging and access to a vast ecosystem of accessories like chargers and cases. And when iPhone 17e users are outside of cellular and Wi-Fi coverage, Apple's groundbreaking satellite features - including Emergency SOS, Roadside Assistance, Messages, and Find My via satellite - help them stay connected when it matters most.2 iPhone 17e is available in three elegant colors with a premium matte finish - black, white, and a beautiful new soft pink - starting at 256GB of storage for $599 - double the entry storage from the previous generation at the same price.
With eSIM, iPhone 17e users can quickly activate service, store multiple plans on one device, and enjoy greater flexibility, convenience, security, and seamless connectivity - especially when traveling. Cox Mobile supports eSIM Quick Transfer, making it easy to move your number to a new iPhone or iPad, and with eSIM Carrier Activation, Cox Mobile can digitally assign your eSIM directly to your iPhone.
