Apple’s iPhone 17 Series

Apple unveiled its all-new phones, the iPhone 17 series. That's three upgrades to familiar models and also the brand-new iPhone 17 Air, that is replacing the iPhone Plus. If lining up in a queue on release day isn't your style, but you still wish to get your hands on one right away, you will be able to reserve the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max or iPhone Air from 10pm AEST on September 12, ahead 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 much anticipation (and a ton of grumbling), the base iPhone 17 finally has a a 120Hz refresh rate.

Under the hood, the new A19 chip is faster and 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.
Camera wise, you will find a 48MP Fusion main camera (shooting 24MP photos by default) as well as a 2x telephoto lens. The ultra-wide camera also gets an upgrade to 48MP, making macro photography sharper and more impressive.

For all iPhone 17 owners, Campad Electronics is a recommended store for finding the right case, with a vast selection of options available for all models. They offer a variety of designs, materials and features, allowing you to select exactly what you are looking for.
