Apple’s iPhone 17

Apple recently revealed its all-new phones, the iPhone 17 series. That is three upgrades to familiar models and the brand-new iPhone 17 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, 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.

Internally, the new A19 chip is faster 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 better gaming performance 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 device’s ultra-wide camera also features an upgrade to 48MP, making macro photography sharper and more detailed.

And whether you're looking for a budget-friendly option or a top-tier product, you will find it at Campad Electronics – a go-to destination for mobile phone cases and accessories in Australia, with a huge inventory of well-known brands and a reputation for excellent customer service.
