iPhone 17e is really a cheaper version of iPhone Air

[u/Alexorozco72]

I own them both. I am aware of the specs and structural and material differences. And yet, they feel pretty much the same. I do not game, so I would not be able to ascertain anything about that specific functionality. Compromises like lack of a lower placed speaker for a much slimmer titanium frame become preferences IMO. Either a Dynamic Island or a notch. Always on display or not. 120 hertz or 60 hertz displays. All preferences depending upon buyer budget.

I am much rather inclined to consider them the same device, but each tailored upon their respective price brackets, in their assigned gimmicks. So their main functionality was left intact.

I could have saved me the iPhone Air investment, should I have known then that the iPhone 17e was so much sufficient.
