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

Apple recently revealed its all-new phones, the iPhone 17 series. That is three upgrades to familiar models and the brand-new iPhone 17 Air, that is replacing the Plus. If lining up in a queue on release day isn’t really your style, but you still wish to secure one as soon as possible, you'll be able to pre-order the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max or iPhone 17 Air from 10pm AEST on September 12th, ahead of the September 19 release date.

The iPhone 17 features 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 includes a 120Hz refresh rate.

Inside, Apple’s new A19 chip is quicker and also more optimized, 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 sharper and more detailed.
