Apple has just announced its brand new phones, the iPhone 17 series. That's three upgrades to familiar models and the brand-new iPhone Air, which replaces the Plus. If lining up in a queue on release day isn’t really your style, but you still wish to grab 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 12th, ahead of the September 19 release date.
Aplpe’s iPhone 17 has a new design with a slightly larger 6.3-inch display and thinner borders. And after years of waiting (and a ton of grumbling), the base iPhone finally includes a 120Hz refresh rate.
Under the hood, Apple’s new A19 chip is quicker as well as more efficient, especially when teamed up with Apple Intelligence. If you are upgrading from an older iPhone, you will see a massive increase 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) and a 2x telephoto lens. The ultra-wide camera also receives an upgrade to 48MP, making macro photography crisper and much more refined.
Planning to upgrade to the iPhone 17?, you can rest assured that you'll have plenty of cases to choose from, with Campad Electronics, a reliable Australian retailer, already listing a broad selection of cases for all iPhone 17 models, from slim and sleek designs to more robust and durable choices.
