iPhone 17

Apple has just announced its latest phones, the iPhone 17 series. That's three refreshed versions of existing models and also the brand-new iPhone Air, which is replacing the iPhone Plus. If camping out on release day is not your style, but you still want to secure one at the earliest opportunity, you will be able to reserve the iPhone 17, 17 Pro Max, 17 Pro or iPhone 17 Air from 10pm AEST on September 12th, before 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 much anticipation (and a ton of grumbling), the base iPhone 17 finally features a 120Hz refresh rate.

Inside, the new A19 chip is quicker as well as more efficient, especially when paired with Apple Intelligence. If you are upgrading from an older iPhone, you will experience a significant jump in speed and smoother gaming courtesy of 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 gets an upgrade to 48MP, making macro photography sharper and also more impressive.

So whether you are after something affordable or a premium case, you will find it at Campad Electronics – a leading source for iPhone cases and accessories in Australia, with a vast array of products from top brands and a reputation for great service and reliability.
