NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
The Apple iPhone 17 Pro is the choice for better cameras, display and performance; the iPhone 17e answers with a lighter, thinner body.
The Pro’s display brings LTPO OLED, 3,000 nits and 120Hz, versus OLED, 1,200 nits and 60Hz on the 17e. It also leads in performance with Apple A19 Pro, 12GB of RAM and 1TB, against Apple A19, 8GB and 512GB. Connectivity adds Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0 and USB 3.2, while the 17e stops at Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3 and USB 2.0.
The Pro is the more complete camera phone: it adds telephoto and ultrawide cameras, with a 1/1.3″ main sensor versus 1/2.55″ and an 18MP front camera versus 12MP. Its battery reaches 53h per cycle versus 45h and charges at 40W versus 15W; the 17e’s counterpoint is its 169g weight versus 206g and 7.8mm thickness versus 8.8mm.
