Sky deal sees ‘lowest price’ of new iPhone 17e at just 61p per day

The tech giant’s iPhone 17e is the newest addition to the ‘e’ series, which has been created as a more affordable option to the iPhone 17.

The 17e is said to combine ‘powerful performance and features at an exceptional value’, and with a £599 price tag it’s £200 cheaper than the flagship model.

Although it’s a cheaper price point, the phone still delivers fast performance, an advanced camera system, Artificial Intelligence features and double the starting storage at 256GB.

Sky’s monthly contract is offering the iPhone 17e 256GB for £19 per month, with a £12 upfront payment. This works out at roughly 61p per day across a 31-day month.

Similarly, the iPhone 17e 512GB costs £25 with £12 upfront – or roughly 80p per day.

As well as the storage options, customers have more options when it comes to colour, as Apple has launched a new ‘soft pink’ design alongside the classic black and white styles.

Sky’s contracts run for 36 months, but customers can swap to a new device from 24 month at no extra cost.

Other networks include Three and Vodafone have confirmed that they’ll stock the device, but both have yet to release their prices.

If you’d rather buy the phone outright and not tie yourself to a contract then these prices tend to be the same across the board during launch.

Currently the likes of Amazon and Argos have set the pre-order price at £599 ahead of its launch, and it’s likely to stay the same on 11 March.

The iPhone 17e is launching a year after Apple unveiled its first ‘e’ model – the iPhone 16e.

Since then the phone has had some upgrades, most notably with the 256GB storage, which is twice the entry storage from the previous model for the same price.

It’s also more powerful as it runs on Apple’s latest-generation A19, the same version that’s powering the standard iPhone 17, despite it’s cheaper price tag.

The iPhone 17e also boasts premium features including a 48MP Fusion camera that can take crystal clear photos and 4K Dolby Vision video, the latest iOS 26 software out of the box, and advanced Apple Intelligence capabilities.

However one downside is its battery life, which is shorter than the standard iPhone 17, with up to 26 hours video playback compared to 30.
