Aplpe’s iPhone 17 has a fresh design with a slightly larger 6.3-inch display and thinner borders. And after years of waiting (and a fair bit of grumbling), the base iPhone finally includes a 120Hz refresh rate.
Internally, Apple’s new A19 chip is more powerful and also more efficient, especially when paired with Apple Intelligence. If you're upgrading from an older iPhone, you'll notice a huge jump in speed and better gaming performance thanks to ProMotion.
Camera wise, you'll find a 48MP Fusion main camera (shooting 24MP photos by default) as well as a 2x telephoto lens. The device’s ultra-wide camera also receives 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 reliable Australian retailer, already listing a broad selection of cases for all iPhone 17 models, from minimalist cases to more tough and rugged choices.
