Though probably cheaper to just buy the 1TB model, flights and accommodation will probably cost as much.

Well actually I posted the video because I have seen a few videos of people opening iPhones and repairing screens or something. But never seen anyone doing it like this guys and how clean he work and with such care. All I have seen is they heat the screen to open the phone. Also the way he cleans the old sealant.

True, that’s factory level equipment he has.

I'm due for an upgrade at the end of the month, and looking to get either the 15 Pro or Pro Max. I'm having a hard time deciding between the two - on the one hand, bigger is better, right? Or not? But approximately R150 p/m more on contract for the Max, so wondering if it is worth the extra money or not.

I'm quite happy with the normal Pro size, and concerned that the Max might be too big. Different strokes for different folks, I guess - but would love to hear from fellow forumites about their personal experience, and recommendations on which one to choose.

Also, trading in at iStore is also available for contract upgrades, and as far as I can determine, one can either get the cash back or lower one's monthly contract tariff. Has anyone done the latter? Would love to hear how it worked out. Will have to visit an iStore in person anyways, very frustrating that one can't phone them directly.

So following my post of last month, I finally upgraded today.

One thing I did not realise, is that the included USB cable is USB-C to USB-C, so I need a new charger brick. What are you guys using? Original Apple or any other recommendations? Any ones to avoid, etc?

I love Anker - https://www.takealot.com/anker-312-charger-20w-type-c-only/PLID95143224 for a good small "cheap" charger.

I generally am more careful with my iPhones in terms of what I plug it into - it is a R25k+ piece of quipment, I'm not going to destroy it by plugging it into a dodgy R100 cheap charger or some unknown USB port in an airport / hotel.
 
Thank you for the suggestions so far.

I am now wondering if I shouldn't rather just buy a USB-A to USB-C cable, because I've just realised I will still need a cable with USB-A on one side, in order to connect my phone to my gimbal and powerbanks.

Looking at these two:

Snug USB-A to USB-C 1.2m Cable - White

But the Snug 1.2m USB-USB-C Cable from the iStore. iStore - The dedicated hub for all Apple products alongside the best Apple experience & exclusive services.

Then, I've still been rocking my wired Apple Earpods, I see there is a USB-C version for them but at R459 a shot it is not gonna happen. So maybe it is finally time for Airpods, but in the mean time, any suggestions on a cheaper wired solution? Some of the cheapies on Takealot etc. do not have great reviews.

I have a Lightning to 3.5mm jack adapter and it works perfect. iPhone pics it up as Bluetooth.
So this should probably work the same.
