Apple’s iPhone 17 Series

Apple unveiled its brand new phones, the iPhone 17 series. That's three refreshed versions of existing models and also the brand-new iPhone 17 Air, that is replacing the Plus. If lining up in a queue on release day isn’t really your style, and you still wish to secure one at the earliest opportunity, you'll be able to pre-order the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max or iPhone Air from 10pm AEST on September 12, before the September 19th release date.

Aplpe’s iPhone 17 has a fresh design with a slightly larger 6.3-inch display and thinner borders. And after years of waiting (and a fair bit of grumbling), the base iPhone finally includes a 120Hz refresh rate.

Inside, Apple’s new A19 chip is more powerful and also more optimized, particularly when combined with Apple Intelligence. If you are upgrading from an older iPhone, you will notice a huge jump in speed and smoother gaming thanks to ProMotion.
On the camera front, you'll find a 48MP Fusion main camera (shooting 24MP photos by default) as well as a 2x telephoto lens. The device’s ultra-wide camera also features an upgrade to 48MP, making macro photography more detailed and also more impressive.

Getting ready to switch to the new iPhone 17?, you can rest assured that you'll have a wide selection of cases available, with Campad Electronics, a well-known Australian retailer, already listing a broad selection of cases for all iPhone 17 models, from minimalist cases to more tough and rugged cases.
