For many South Africans, a cellphone contract is the easiest way to get access to the latest smart devices. The prepaid mobile market model dominates African countries, while those who can afford to buy an iPhone usually get it on contract.
Finding the best iPhone deals involves more than just the price factor.
If you’re in the market for a new phone, it’s important that you don’t simply look at cheapest option only. Make sure that you shop around for the best offer.
Some of the best iPhone deals can be found at the Apple iStore.
iPhone 5S
R5999 or R279 per month for 24 months on the iStore card. MTN has an offer for R299 per month for 24 months while Telkom’s offer is slightly cheaper at R259 per month over 24 months
iPhone 6
R9449- R11 295 or R559 per month for 24 months on the iStore card.
With a new design, the bigger, thinner iPhone 6 is powered by the A9 chip and comes equipped with Retina HD displays.
The 64GB version is available for R879 per month from Vodacom, with 120 minutes, 300MB and 300 SMSes.
MTN on the other hand has an offer for R1159 per month over 24 months.
iPhone SE
Considered a more affordable phone, with a fast A9 chip, making it just as fast as the iPhone 6, the iPhone SE is a great quality phone that is available on credit too.
R8499 or R369 per month for 24 months on the iStore card.
The Apple iStore also offers a trade-in option. You can buy a new iPhone on a 24 month contract and trade it in after 12 months to settle the outstanding balance.
