Apple’s iPhone 17 Series

Apple has just announced its latest phones, the iPhone 17 series. That is three upgrades to familiar models and the brand-new iPhone Air, that is replacing 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, 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 ton of grumbling), the base iPhone finally gets a 120Hz refresh rate.

Under the hood, the new A19 chip is more powerful and 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 also a 2x telephoto lens. The device’s ultra-wide camera also receives an upgrade to 48MP, making macro photography crisper and much more impressive.

For those looking to upgrade to the iPhone 17, the good news is that there are already plenty of case options available, thanks to retailers like Campad Electronics, which has listed a wide range of cases for all iPhone 17 models. This ensures you can find the perfect accessory to go with your new device, with a multitude of styles, materials and price points to choose from, making it easy to get something that suits your style and wallet.
