Title: Switched from iPhone 15 to 17E - simpler & lighter
Post by: Naman on Apr 20, 2026, 09:21 AM
I recently made the switch from my iPhone 15 to the iPhone 17E, and I'm glad I did. My ecosystem is already covered with my MacBook Air and iPad Air, so my phone isn't my primary media device anymore. I only use social media occasionally, mostly on Reddit and LinkedIn. The single camera on the iPhone 17E works perfectly fine for me, and I still get essential features like MagSafe. I also have 256GB of storage, which is more than enough for my needs. My usage is very basic - chatting, payments, and occasional browsing - and this phone handles it all easily. I also appreciate the simplicity and compactness of the iPhone 17E. It's lighter and feels more manageable in my hand. I don't use a case or screen protector, and I'm fine with that. I was initially worried about missing out on some features, but I'm adjusting well.

Good for you but I'd much rather get an older pro model than buy 17e.

Whats the reason for switching from iPhone 15? As a 15 user myself i do not see any valid reason to upgrade to 17e? Other than Apple intelligence which is useless anyway

theres something about simplicity that one cannot explain - the ease of use, the compactness, the simple design, and the whole experience of using it just what its meant for, its just a unique experience. no matter how many androids i keep changing every year the experience of a Smaller simpler iphone always reminds you of what a phone actually is meant for - simplicity + ease

iPhone 15 is top heavy due to camera where as 17E will be well balanced, I think its the lightest after iPhone Air. Btw is this 15 case on 17e?
