Aplpe’s iPhone 17 boasts a new design with a slightly larger 6.3-inch display and narrower edges. And after years of waiting (and a fair bit of grumbling), the base iPhone finally includes a 120Hz refresh rate.
Inside, the new A19 chip is quicker 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 gets an upgrade to 48MP, making macro photography crisper and much more refined.
Getting ready to switch to the new iPhone 17?, you can rest assured that you'll have a wide selection of cases available, with Campad Electronics, a well-known Australian retailer, already listing a broad selection of cases for all iPhone 17 models, from minimalist cases to more tough and rugged choices.
