Where to preorder the new iPhone 17E before it hits stores on March 11th

3 weeks ago 12

Apple’s week of product announcements kicked off with the iPhone 17E, a phone designed for those who don’t want to spend north of $700 on their next upgrade. The iPhone 16E follow-up won’t officially launch until March 11th; however, preorders are now open at Best Buy and Apple’s online storefront, as well as carriers like T-Mobile.

Like last year’s budget option, the 6.1-inch 17E starts at $599. It checks more off our wishlist than the 16E, though, with an expanded 256GB of base storage and built-in magnets, rendering it compatible with an entire range of MagSafe accessories (including Qi2 chargers). What’s more, it’s powered by the same A19 chip found in the iPhone 17, which should allow for faster performance. Its Ceramic Shield 2 display is also as durable as the iPhone 17’s, so it won’t scratch as easily as previous models, and the phone offers a 48-megapixel “fusion” camera.

We’ve pulled together more spec details in our recent comparison post, but below, we’ve rounded up where you can preorder Apple’s latest phone ahead of our full review. We’ll continue updating this post as more retailers and carriers roll out their listings, so you may want to bookmark this page if none of the options below appeal to you.

Where to buy the iPhone 17E

As of now, you can preorder the iPhone 17E from Apple and Best Buy in black, pink, or white with 256GB of storage starting at $599. If you need additional space, both Apple and Best Buy are also selling it with 512GB of storage for $799.

US carrier deals and incentives

T-Mobile is offering the iPhone 17E for free via 24 monthly bill credits when you trade in an eligible device on an Experience More plan (or a Go5G Plus if you’re an existing customer), or when you trade in and add a line on most plans. If you’re switching from another carrier, T-Mobile is also offering the 17E for free (or for up to $630 off) with no trade-in required. Essentials customers, meanwhile, can get four iPhone 17E devices and four new lines for $25 per line per month with eligible trade-ins.
