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 new iPhone Air, which takes the place of the iPhone Plus. If camping out on release day is not your style, but you still want to grab one right away, 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, in advance of the September 19 release date.

The iPhone 17 gets a fresh design with a slightly larger 6.3-inch display and thinner borders. And after a long wait (and a lot of grumbling), the base iPhone finally features a 120Hz refresh rate.

Inside, Apple’s new A19 chip is more powerful and also more optimized, particularly when combined with Apple Intelligence. If you are upgrading from an older iPhone, you will see a massive increase 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 a 2x telephoto lens. The ultra-wide camera also gets an upgrade to 48MP, making macro photography sharper and more detailed.

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 choose the case that best suits your needs and preferences.
