I wanna upgrade to an iphone as my contract is due in July. Where is the best place to upgrade in terms of pricing, the iStore or at Vodacom?
Any experience or thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.

Thank you

Telkom normally have good deals

I just cant bring myself to deal with them again, it will have to be Vodacom or MTN.

Generally the pricing is pretty much the same everywhere...from time to time any given supplier (i.e. Vodacom, Incredible etc) might have specials, so just google and check the different offerings.

Cellucity often has great deals, so check their catalogue too.

Wait a couple months for the next model to be released.

They didn't even cross my mind. Thanks

I guess that would bring down the price of the 13 and 14, even if only slightly.

August then september a new model is out. WHy would you upgrade in July and pay high prices for last years phone?

Rather wait till the new model is out then pay lower prices for the 14 or just get the 15.

Does the old model automatically become obsolete when a new version comes out?

No, cheaper

No, cheaper

Haven't seen that with Core.

Usually, the non-Pro models remain part of the range at a lower cost (the non-Pro 11, 12 and 13 are all still part of the official line up) but the Pro models get discontinued. You will still find stock of an outgoing Pro model, as part of run out stock, but in my experience, never really significantly cheaper - can't speak about cash deals but on contract for example, I've seen them drop like maybe R30-50 per month cheaper before disappearing all together.

Need to pay more attention then.

There’s always a marked dip in older model pricing as the new ones stack to the top with loads of promotions to clear stock at announcement even.

I saw at the iStore over the weekend that they were offering Free AirPods with the 14.
