The iPhone 17 Series

Apple has just announced its all-new phones, the iPhone 17 series. That's three refreshed versions of existing models and also the all-new iPhone Air, which replaces the Plus. If waiting in line on release day isn’t really your style, and you still want to get your hands on one at the earliest opportunity, 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, ahead of the September 19 release date.

The iPhone 17 features a redesigned look with a slightly larger 6.3-inch display and narrower edges. And after much anticipation (and a ton of grumbling), the base iPhone finally includes a 120Hz refresh rate.

Inside, Apple’s new A19 chip is faster as well as more energy-efficient, particularly when paired with Apple Intelligence. If you're upgrading from an older iPhone, you'll experience a significant increase in speed and improved gameplay thanks to ProMotion.
On the camera front, you'll find a 48MP Fusion main camera (shooting 24MP photos by default) as well as a 2x telephoto lens. The ultra-wide camera also receives an upgrade to 48MP, making macro photography crisper and also more impressive.

Whether you’ve got the iPhone 17 or are thinking about upgrading, 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 broad array of styles, materials and price points.
