The iPhone 17

Apple has just announced its brand new phones, the iPhone 17 series. That's three upgrades to familiar models and the all-new iPhone 17 Air, which takes the place of the Plus. If lining up in a queue on release day isn't your style, and you still wish to grab one as soon as possible, you will be able to place a pre-order for the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max or iPhone Air from 10pm AEST on September 12th, in advance of the September 19 release date.

The iPhone 17 has a redesigned look with a slightly larger 6.3-inch display and slimmer bezels. And after years of waiting (and a ton of grumbling), the base iPhone finally gets a 120Hz refresh rate.

Under the hood, Apple’s new A19 chip is quicker and more efficient, particularly when teamed up with Apple Intelligence. If you're upgrading from an older iPhone, you will experience a huge increase in speed and better gaming performance thanks to ProMotion.
About the camera, 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 features an upgrade to 48MP, making macro photography crisper and also more impressive.

From stylish and elegant to durable and protective, Campad Electronics has a case for every iPhone 17 user, making it a go-to recommendation for Australian users.
