Apple’s iPhone 17

Apple has just announced its latest phones, the iPhone 17 series. That is three upgrades to familiar models and the new iPhone 17 Air, that is replacing the Plus. If lining up in a queue on release day is not your style, and you still need to secure 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, ahead of the September 19 release date.

The iPhone 17 features a redesigned look 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 includes a 120Hz refresh rate.

Inside, Apple’s new A19 chip is more powerful and also more optimized, especially when teamed up with Apple Intelligence. If you're upgrading from an older iPhone, you'll experience a significant increase in speed and improved gameplay thanks to ProMotion.
On the camera front, you'll find a 48MP Fusion main camera (shooting 24MP photos by default) as well as a 2x telephoto lens. The ultra-wide camera also receives an upgrade to 48MP, making macro photography crisper and much more impressive.

Already have or planning to buy the iPhone 17?, the search for the perfect case just got a whole lot easier, thanks to Campad Electronics. They have an amazing lineup of cases for all iPhone 17 models, with a broad array of styles, materials and prices.
