iPhone 17

Apple has just announced its brand new phones, the iPhone 17 series. That's three refreshed versions of existing models as well as 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 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, before the September 19th release date.

Aplpe’s iPhone 17 has 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 features a 120Hz refresh rate.

Inside, Apple’s new A19 chip is more powerful and also more efficient, especially when teamed up with Apple Intelligence. If you're upgrading from an older iPhone, you will experience a massive increase 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.

Planning to buy the new iPhone 17?, don't worry about looking for case options, Campad Electronics, a top Australian retailer of phone accessories, already has a great variety of options listed for all models, so you can ensure your phone is both safe and stylish.
