Have ordered one for my mum as recently had some issues with her 16e, calls cutting out, suddenly unable to make calls, having to reboot the phone. Then more recently no simcard detected.. ordered replacement sim, fitted and detects but not 100% sure if it was purely sim card as read a lot online of similar issues and sim card replacement hasn’t helped so as warranty ran out decided to bit the bullet and get a replacement as she needs her phone to be working 100% due to expected important calls she cannot afford to miss if phone not working or be unable to make a call due to no signal. She doesn’t browse the web etc, its literally just used as a old fashioned phone and may send the occasional text. So I’m trading in her existing phone, getting £255 back so cost to change isn’t too bad all things considered. Main reason for change is the 17e has the newer modem which is meant to be better for calls and browsing (although not really required) but nice plus. Just now hoping the 16e case fits ok she has at the moment as I don’t think much of a design change.

Your mothers existing iPhone 16e case should fit the new iPhone 17e perfectly and I had read similar also about 16e and issues with C1 modem on the Apple discuss forums.
FYI – Apple C1 modem is Apples first attempt at their own In-House modem as they was using Qualcomm previously and its not going to well.
At least the new 17e will be using the C1X modems (Apple) so will be interesting if the bugs have been fixed.
Note: my iPhone 16 pro uses the Qualcomm modem and works flawlessly.
let us know how it goes

Hi,
Early days but so far phone is ok but only had it couple of days so time will tell.
Yes, phone fitted same case as is physically identical i.e. camera, button locations so that was a plus.
Just got to wipe it tonight and get it boxed up ready to send back tomorrow and then some money back :)
