As the price of top-tier flagship smartphones floats around $1,200 / AU$1700, it's worth pondering a good smartphone that splits the difference between features and price, delivering good-enough (and sometimes better) performance at a price most people can afford.
Apple's latest iPhone 17e looks like that kind of phone, arriving with a 48MP Fusion camera, MagSafe charging, Super Retina XDR display, the performant A19 chip, and 256GB of storage, all for just $599 / AU$999.
