How long South Africans must work to buy an iPhone 18 Pro

Well its a premium phone. Next how long for the average south african to afford a Ferrari.
 
Overpriced .. but for those who do afford it without going into debt or long term payment plans, well we know those guys also don't worry about the price of petrol.

Every person going into debt for this phone for aura or 'status' - really does have bigger problems to solve in their lives.

Polo GTI financed over 96(kots) months with an iPhone 18 Pro over 36 months, and you are golden.

A gaming PC seems like a good proposition in comparison even with current RAM and SSD prices.

Lol rather look at the total cost of ownership compared to Android phones that stop getting any meaningful updates after 2 years.

Dynamic Island Display: On the iPhone 18 Pro, the smaller Dynamic Island cut-out can display three Live Activities simultaneously, compared to two Live Activities on the iPhone 17.

Camera & AI Features: Certain advanced camera controls, higher-tier on-device Apple Intelligence models, expressive Siri voices, and enhanced dictation require newer silicon on the iPhone 18 series, meaning standard iPhone 17 base models miss out on select top-tier AI features under iOS 27

Better?

Those are all hardware related.
 
Surely the foldable iPhone is the thing to get. Not the standard slab which bulks out your pockets.

There are several reasons Samsung doesn't enable every Galaxy AI feature on every model, and it's not always just marketing.

1. Hardware limitations​

Many Galaxy AI features run partly on the device. Newer phones have:

  • Faster NPUs (Neural Processing Units)
  • More RAM
  • More powerful Snapdragon or Exynos chips
Features such as real-time translation, advanced image generation, and some AI assistant functions may require processing power that older devices can't deliver at Samsung's performance standards.

Why did you think it wasn't activated?
