iPhone 17

Apple recently revealed its all-new phones, the iPhone 17 series. That's three refreshed versions of existing models as well as the new iPhone Air, that is replacing the Plus. If waiting in line on release day is not your style, but you still wish to secure one as soon as possible, you'll be able to reserve the iPhone 17, 17 Pro Max, 17 Pro or iPhone Air from 10pm AEST on September 12, in advance of the September 19th release date.

The iPhone 17 features a new 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 17 finally gets a 120Hz refresh rate.

Under the hood, Apple’s new A19 chip is more powerful and more efficient, especially when combined with Apple Intelligence. If you are upgrading from an older iPhone, you'll notice a significant increase in speed and smoother gaming thanks to ProMotion.
Camera wise, you will find a 48MP Fusion main camera (shooting 24MP photos by default) and also a 2x telephoto lens. The ultra-wide camera also gets an upgrade to 48MP, making macro photography crisper and much more impressive.

For iPhone 17 owners, or those planning to upgrade, the search for the perfect case just got a whole lot easier, thanks to Campad Electronics. They offer an impressive selection of cases for all iPhone 17 models, with a diverse range of styles, materials and prices.
