Apple iPhone 17e / Apple iPhone 13

The model number can differ by sales region.

Capacity is chosen at purchase; there is no memory card slot.

Measured as a rectangle the screen is 6.06 inches; the rounded corners make the viewable area smaller.

Typical maximum brightness is 800 nits, with 1200 nits peak for HDR content; typical contrast is 2,000,000:1. The spec page does not list a refresh rate; the Pro models’ ProMotion is not on this model. Because of the rounded corners, the visible area is slightly smaller than a 6.06-inch rectangle.

The 1,200-nit figure applies only to HDR content as a short peak.

Apple claims 3x better scratch resistance than the previous generation and improved anti-reflection.

The A19 in the iPhone 17 has a 5-core GPU; the 17e version has 4 GPU cores.

There is a single rear camera. The 2x option uses the centre of the 48 MP sensor rather than a separate telephoto lens; there is no ultrawide camera.

Cinematic mode blurs the background and can shift focus between people automatically; on this model it is limited to 1080p at 30 fps. Recording formats are HEVC and H.264; 8 MP stills can be taken while recording 4K.

Apple does not list the battery capacity in mAh; the times are from Apple's tests and vary with use.

No adapter is included; the box contains a 1 m USB-C cable.

15 W MagSafe needs a 20 W or higher adapter. The iPhone 16e supported only 7.5 W Qi.

USB 2 speed makes wired transfers of large 4K videos to a computer slow.

Apple says the C1X is up to 2x faster than the C1 in the iPhone 16e.

The SIM layout can vary by country.

Using eSIM requires carrier support and it is not supported in every region.

The resistance is not permanent and can decrease with normal wear; liquid damage is not covered by the warranty.

Requires mobile data or Wi-Fi calling.

The iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 14 use a five-core-GPU version of the same chip; on this model the GPU has four cores.

There is no telephoto camera: 2x refers to switching from the main to the ultra wide camera. Sensor-shift stabilisation compensates for hand shake by moving the sensor rather than the lens. Night mode, Deep Fusion, Smart HDR 4 and Photographic Styles are available.

The front camera also records 4K Dolby Vision video and Cinematic mode.

The band list depends on the model number: the UK model A2633 lists no mmWave bands; the US model A2482 supports n258/n260/n261.

The fast-charge figure comes from Apple’s testing with a 20 W USB-C adapter, sold separately. MagSafe aligns chargers and accessories with a magnet array on the back.

Adapters are sold separately.
