The iPhone 17 Series

Apple has just announced its all-new phones, the iPhone 17 series. That is three refreshed versions of existing models and also the new iPhone 17 Air, that replaces the iPhone Plus. If waiting in line on release day isn’t really your style, but you still need to get your hands on one as soon as possible, you will be able to place a pre-order for the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max or iPhone 17 Air from 10pm AEST on September 12, ahead of the September 19th release date.

The iPhone 17 gets a new design with a slightly larger 6.3-inch display and slimmer bezels. And after years of waiting (and a ton of grumbling), the base iPhone finally has a a 120Hz refresh rate.

Inside, the new A19 chip is more powerful as well as more efficient, particularly when paired with Apple Intelligence. If you are upgrading from an older iPhone, you'll notice a massive bump in speed and smoother gaming courtesy of ProMotion.
On the camera front, you will 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 sharper and much more detailed.
