iPhone 17, iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro And iPhone 17 Pro Max

Apple unveiled its brand new phones, the iPhone 17 series. That is three upgrades to familiar models and also the all-new iPhone Air, which is replacing the Plus. If waiting in line on release day isn't your style, but you still wish to secure one at the earliest opportunity, you'll be able to place a pre-order for the iPhone 17, 17 Pro Max, 17 Pro or iPhone Air from 10pm AEST on September 12, in advance of the September 19 release date.

The iPhone 17 boasts a fresh design with a slightly larger 6.3-inch display and slimmer bezels. And after much anticipation (and a ton of grumbling), the base iPhone finally features a 120Hz refresh rate.

Internally, the new A19 chip is quicker and also more efficient, especially when teamed up with Apple Intelligence. If you are upgrading from an older iPhone, you'll experience a massive 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) as well as a 2x telephoto lens. The device’s ultra-wide camera also features an upgrade to 48MP, making macro photography sharper and much more impressive.
