The iPhone 17 Series

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 is not your style, and you still want to get your hands on one at the earliest opportunity, you'll be able to pre-order the iPhone 17, 17 Pro Max, 17 Pro or iPhone 17 Air from 10pm AEST on September 12, ahead of the September 19th release date.

Aplpe’s iPhone 17 gets a redesigned look 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 features a 120Hz refresh rate.

Internally, the new A19 chip is quicker as well as more optimized, particularly when paired with Apple Intelligence. If you're upgrading from an older iPhone, you will see a massive bump in speed and better gaming performance courtesy of ProMotion.
On the camera front, 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 more detailed and more refined.
