The iPhone 17 has a new design with a slightly larger 6.3-inch display and narrower edges. And after a long wait (and a lot of grumbling), the base iPhone finally includes a 120Hz refresh rate.
Under the hood, the new A19 chip is more powerful and also more optimized, particularly when teamed up with Apple Intelligence. If you're upgrading from an older iPhone, you'll see a massive bump in speed and better gaming performance thanks to ProMotion.
On the camera front, you will find a 48MP Fusion main camera (shooting 24MP photos by default) and also a 2x telephoto lens. The device’s ultra-wide camera also receives an upgrade to 48MP, making macro photography sharper and more detailed.
If you're planning to get your hands on the new iPhone 17, don't worry about finding the perfect case, Campad Electronics, a top Australian retailer of iPhone accessories, already has a large selection of options listed for all models, so you can protect your device in style.
