Apple’s iPhone 17 Series

Apple recently revealed its latest phones, the iPhone 17 series. That is updates to three known models and also the brand-new iPhone 17 Air, that takes the place of the iPhone Plus. If lining up in a queue on release day isn't your style, but you still wish to get your hands on one at the earliest opportunity, you will be able to reserve the iPhone 17, 17 Pro Max, 17 Pro or iPhone Air from 10pm AEST on September 12, ahead of the September 19 release date.

The 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 gets 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'll notice a huge jump in speed and better gaming performance courtesy of ProMotion.
About the camera, 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 sharper and more detailed.
