Apple has just announced its latest phones, the iPhone 17 series. That is updates to three known models as well as the new iPhone Air, which replaces the Plus. If waiting in line on release day is not your style, and you still need to secure one as soon as possible, you'll be able to pre-order the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max or iPhone 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 thinner borders. And after years of waiting (and a fair bit of grumbling), the base iPhone finally includes a 120Hz refresh rate.
Inside, Apple’s new A19 chip is quicker as well as more optimized, particularly when combined with Apple Intelligence. If you are upgrading from an older iPhone, you will see a massive jump 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.
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 well-known Australian retailer, already listing a broad selection of cases for all iPhone 17 models, from slim and sleek designs to more robust and durable options.
