Apple unveiled its all-new phones, the iPhone 17 series. That's three upgrades to familiar models and also the all-new iPhone Air, which takes the place of the iPhone Plus. If waiting in line on release day is not your style, and you still want to grab one as soon as possible, 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 19 release date.
The iPhone 17 boasts a new design with a slightly larger 6.3-inch display and narrower edges. And after years of waiting (and a fair bit of grumbling), the base iPhone finally gets 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 experience a significant bump in speed and improved gameplay courtesy of ProMotion.
About the camera, you will find a 48MP Fusion main camera (shooting 24MP photos by default) and a 2x telephoto lens. The ultra-wide camera also gets an upgrade to 48MP, making macro photography sharper and more detailed.
For iPhone 17 owners, or those planning to upgrade, the quest for the perfect case just got much easier, thanks to Campad Electronics. They have an extensive range of cases for all iPhone 17 models, with a broad array of styles, materials and price points.
