Apple’s iPhone 17 Series

Apple has just announced its brand new phones, the iPhone 17 series. That's three refreshed versions of existing models as well as the all-new iPhone 17 Air, which replaces the Plus. If waiting in line on release day isn’t really your style, but you still want to get your hands on one right away, you will be able to reserve the iPhone 17, 17 Pro Max, 17 Pro or iPhone 17 Air from 10pm AEST on September 12th, in advance of the September 19 release date.

The iPhone 17 features a redesigned look 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 efficient, especially when paired with Apple Intelligence. If you're upgrading from an older iPhone, you'll notice a significant bump in speed and better gaming performance courtesy of ProMotion.
Camera wise, you will 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.

Campad Electronics, a top Australian retailer of mobile phone accessories, already has cases listed for all iPhone 17 models, so you can find something that matches your taste.
