Apple’s iPhone 17 Series

Apple unveiled its latest phones, the iPhone 17 series. That is three upgrades to familiar models and the new iPhone Air, which takes the place of the iPhone Plus. If camping out on release day isn't your style, but you still want to grab one right away, you'll be able to place a pre-order for the iPhone 17, 17 Pro Max, 17 Pro or iPhone 17 Air from 10pm AEST on September 12th, in advance of the September 19th release date.

The iPhone 17 gets a fresh design with a slightly larger 6.3-inch display and slimmer bezels. And after a long wait (and a lot of grumbling), the base iPhone 17 finally features a 120Hz refresh rate.

Internally, Apple’s new A19 chip is more powerful and also more optimized, especially when paired with Apple Intelligence. If you're upgrading from an older iPhone, you'll notice a huge jump in speed and better gaming performance thanks to ProMotion.
Camera wise, 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 receives an upgrade to 48MP, making macro photography crisper and more detailed.

If you're due for an upgrade and are planning to get the new iPhone 17, you can rest assured that you'll have a wide selection of cases available, with Campad Electronics, a trusted Australian retailer, already listing a wide range of cases for all iPhone 17 models, from thin and stylish options to more heavy-duty cases.
