Apple’s iPhone 17 Series

Apple recently revealed its all-new phones, the iPhone 17 series. That is three upgrades to familiar models and the brand-new iPhone Air, that is replacing the iPhone Plus. If lining up in a queue on release day isn't your style, but you still wish to get your hands on one at the earliest opportunity, you will be able to reserve the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max or iPhone Air from 10pm AEST on September 12, ahead of the September 19 release date.

The iPhone 17 boasts 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 17 finally gets a 120Hz refresh rate.

Under the hood, the new A19 chip is faster as well as more energy-efficient, particularly when combined with Apple Intelligence. If you are upgrading from an older iPhone, you will see a massive increase in speed and smoother gaming thanks to ProMotion.
On the camera front, you'll find a 48MP Fusion main camera (shooting 24MP photos by default) and a 2x telephoto lens. The ultra-wide camera also receives an upgrade to 48MP, making macro photography crisper and much more refined.
