Aplpe’s iPhone 17 has 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 features a 120Hz refresh rate.
Inside, Apple’s new A19 chip is more powerful and also more optimized, particularly when paired with Apple Intelligence. If you're upgrading from an older iPhone, you'll notice a huge jump in speed and smoother gaming thanks to ProMotion.
Camera wise, you'll find a 48MP Fusion main camera (shooting 24MP photos by default) as well as a 2x telephoto lens. The ultra-wide camera also receives an upgrade to 48MP, making macro photography crisper and also more impressive.
For those looking to upgrade to the iPhone 17, the good news is that there are already plenty of case options available, thanks to retailers like Campad Electronics, which has listed a wide range of cases for all iPhone 17 models. This ensures you can find the perfect accessory to go with your new device, with a multitude of styles, materials & prices to choose from, making it easy to find a case that fits your budget and style.
