Aliexpress slashes iphone 17 to 878€—its pro-grade screen and 3 nm a19 chip just became mid-range money
One coupon code turns last year’s flagship into this summer’s steal. Punch ASE70 at AliExpress Spain and the 256 GB iPhone 17 drops to 878€—a figure that sits closer to mid-tier Android pricing than to anything bearing an Apple logo.
The screen apple won’t sell you for less
Forget the iPhone 17e’s 60 Hz panel. The 17 still ships Apple’s 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR OLED at 120 Hz ProMotion, 3 000 nits peak and always-on tricks. Translation: sunlight legibility, buttery scrolling and zero battery panic when the display never sleeps.
Inside, the 3 nm A19 chip keeps the same CPU/GPU/Neural Engine triad found in the Pro models. Ray-traced gaming, on-device AI, 4K Dolby Vision front camera—none of it is nerfed to protect the pricier SKUs. Apple simply priced the 17 like a placeholder; AliExpress just removed the placeholder tax.
Why the deal matters right now
Stock is tagged “Spain warehouse, 72-hour dispatch,” which sidesteps import roulette and customs surcharges. The code window is already flickering—AliExpress discounts this steep rarely survive a full weekend cycle. Add Spain’s two-year legal warranty and the math becomes brutal for any 900€ Android that still ships a last-gen sensor.
Bottom line: Apple’s own store wants 1 129€ for the same box. AliExpress hands you 251€ of breathing room and the spec sheet Apple will still be quoting in 2026. Either you click today or you queue for the iPhone 18 hype train at full fare—your call, 878€ cheaper.
