The iPhone 17 Series

Apple has just announced its brand new phones, the iPhone 17 series. That's updates to three known models and also the all-new iPhone 17 Air, that replaces the Plus. If waiting in line on release day is not your style, and you still want to grab one as soon as possible, 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, in advance of the September 19th release date.

The iPhone 17 gets a fresh design with a slightly larger 6.3-inch display and slimmer bezels. And after a long wait (and a lot of grumbling), the base iPhone 17 finally features 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 experience a significant bump in speed and better gaming performance courtesy of 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 impressive.
