#iOS 26 phone

Apple has started pre-orders for the iPhone 17e in the Philippines, with prices beginning at ₱44,990 for the 256GB model and ₱59,990 for the 512GB model. The iPhone 17e is Apple’s new value-oriented iPhone that offers bigger storage and upgraded features compared with older base models. The phone runs iOS 26 and comes in black, white, and soft pink colors. Customers can order the phone online through Apple’s official site and choose the storage size and color before checkout. Industry announcements say the iPhone 17e will also be sold in other countries with a likely general release soon after pre-orders start. This new model gives buyers a more affordable iPhone option while still adding features like MagSafe and larger base storage compared to some earlier entry models. Apple quietly included a Baybayin keyboard layout in iOS 27, announced at WWDC 2026. This is the first time Baybayin is available as a built-in system keyboard on iPhone, without needing to buy a third-party app from the App Store.
