The iPhone 17 features a new 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 17 finally gets a 120Hz refresh rate.
Internally, Apple’s new A19 chip is quicker and also more efficient, particularly when paired with Apple Intelligence. If you're upgrading from an older iPhone, you'll notice a significant bump in speed and better gaming performance courtesy of ProMotion.
About the camera, 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 features an upgrade to 48MP, making macro photography more detailed and also more impressive.
If you're due for an upgrade and are planning to get the new iPhone 17, you can rest assured that you'll have no shortage of case options, with Campad Electronics, a trusted Australian retailer, already listing a wide range of cases for all iPhone 17 models, from thin and stylish options to more heavy-duty options.
