Apple unveiled its brand new phones, the iPhone 17 series. That's three refreshed versions of existing models as well as the brand-new iPhone 17 Air, which takes the place of the Plus. If lining up in a queue on release day isn’t really your style, and you still need to grab one right away, you will be able to pre-order the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max or iPhone 17 Air from 10pm AEST on September 12, ahead of the September 19th release date.
The iPhone 17 features a redesigned look with a slightly larger 6.3-inch display and thinner borders. And after much anticipation (and a ton of grumbling), the base iPhone finally has a a 120Hz refresh rate.
Inside, Apple’s new A19 chip is faster and also more energy-efficient, particularly when combined with Apple Intelligence. If you're upgrading from an older iPhone, you'll see a significant bump in speed and better gaming performance courtesy of ProMotion.
On the camera front, you will find a 48MP Fusion main camera (shooting 24MP photos by default) and also a 2x telephoto lens. The ultra-wide camera also receives an upgrade to 48MP, making macro photography more detailed and also more refined.
If you're due for an upgrade and are planning to get the new iPhone 17, you can rest assured that you'll have plenty of cases to choose from, with Campad Electronics, a well-known Australian retailer, already this page listing a wide range of cases for all iPhone 17 models, from thin and stylish options to more heavy-duty cases.
