Today is iPhone release day in South Africa and for all of you heading out to get yourself one of Apple’s latest handsets we have an exciting spreadsheet for you. An exciting spreadsheet? How is this possible we hear you muttering from across the internet. Well whether it be the iPhone 5s or 5c we have you covered with all of the pricing for the various contracts available on our networks and we’ll be keeping it up to date with all of the deals as they roll in.
The iPhone 5s of course is the new flagship phone of the iPhone range with Apple’s new A7 64-bit processor. We loved it when we reviewed it and think that it will satisfy almost every discerning iPhone fan’s wants and needs.
The iPhone 5c on the other hand is the new lower cost iPhone which essentially takes the internals from the previous generation iPhone 5 and puts them inside a range of colourful polycarbonate bodies.
Where can you get the new iPhones?
- Vodacom World in Midrand will be open from 5AM for those willing to brave the early morning but other participating Vodacom stores will have the iPhones from 9AM onwards.
- The iStore will have stock of both the iPhone 5s and the iPhone 5c and will be able to process upgrades and new contract for any of the networks.
UPDATE 1: Vodacom has confirmed that prepaid customers will NOT be able to buy the new iPhones for cash yet and that only new contract customers and upgrades. They will have the new iPhones available for prepaid customers shortly.
