iPhone 16 Series

Except it isn’t.

If that’s who the company he’s dealing with is, then yes, it would be the truth and not something made up.

Only if you’re slightly simple and ignorant.

I’m sure most people would be happier with accurate and truthful statements.

You are being ridiculous.

Most stores you see in a mall are not directly related to the mothership brands but rather authorized resellers. No one refers to them buy their 'truthful' name as you like to put it (As to suggest deceit, if you really wanted to be a stickler for truth 'accurate' would be a better term but you know that and chose the word intentionally.)

Do you really think Joe Soap that buys his or her iPhone from iStore thinks he is buying from Apple or Core? Why do the iStores not say Core but rather plaster the Apple logo everywhere?

Back to the point then and to keep @Dave the stickler of truth (tm) happy. I've edited my original post to state Core/iStore. The same applies.

I wonder what the next bone of contention will be? One would think better trade-in's for consumers (as the competition provides) would be universally agreed upon but clearly not. Samsung could never have a one up on Apple. Perhaps I forgot a full stop somewhere to invalidate my argument...

They in the post you quoted is not Apple.



There is no semantics, genius.

Apple doesn’t trade in SA (fyi there are no Apple Stores in SA), they make no profit from any second hand sales an independent retailer who might be an authorised reseller might make.

You didn’t think iStore actually split the profit from their second hand retailing with Apple? Did you??

WTF … you seriously are a miserable person. Almost every single post you make on this forum is filled with anger and negativity. Can’t believe arguing about Istore being a genuine Apple Store is a thing for you. Who the F cares. Like @Brawler said get a life …

You are being ridiculous.

It’s ridiculous that you blame a different company for the supposed profiteering of another company?

Thank you, I prefer not to see BS and fake news when reading.

No one asked for you to come along and insert your 2c in the arse end of a discussion.

Go find some traffic to play in, Sancho Panza.

Cheaper than last year!

I paid R38,999 for my 512GB 15 Pro Max, and it's R36,999 for the 512GB 16 Pro Max.

100%
I was telling some colleagues this.
My 15 Pro Max 512GB is literally insured for R38,999 as that was the cost when I got it.
Even looking at the Vodacom contracts, they are slightly less expensive than last year if you are opening a new line and getting a 16.

and he continues ... proves my point ... you arguing about apple stores vs istore. Cant get any more pathetic than that mate! Step back for a moment and look at yourself! You will realise how rather pointless your arguments are. We don’t care. No one cares. But you messing up an entirely innocent thread. Don’t even think you bought an iPhone 16 at this point


1. 100% you not in a relationship of any kind (I don’t even think if they cloned you .. would your clone date you). Imagine living with a human like this. WOW
2. You sit on these forums the entire time being angry and miserable ... spewing hate. If someone is angry all the time, they seriously CAN NOT BE HAPPY in their lives. You are a miserable person. That is sad af

So ssssssh .... and shut the F up and stop messing up a thread that is just about a phone. I came here to read up on the iPhone but can’t help come across all the vomit you spewed here.

Take up a hobby ... please ... pottery or something. Interact with other humans also gradually. Gag yourself as a start and slowly progressively start uttering single words in conversations with humans. Finally, and eventually, and I pray you can then be integrated into society and have meaningful conversations.

Is this the best deal out there? I bought the 16PM from Incredible already. The R3000 off is sweet. Also with the deals going around makes me wonder what did retailers pay for the phones. As an aside Machines (an authorised retailer) in Malaysia is selling the phone for RM6000 (around R24k).

Are you getting an extra discount on the AirPods as well, or is that a separate voucher you had?

Vodacom is even including a 20W charger lol…
First time I see iPhones being bundled with stuff on preorder…

They give the AirPods for free plus an additional r2000 off with makro. With incredible it’s just the r3000 off but two year warranty. Soooo when I ordered with Incredible, I paid the full amount thinking I need to claim the r3000 back. Seems the site was glitched and I was suppose to get the discount upfront … so now in chats to get the r3000 refunded to my bank account (the admin )

Game has great deals on the regular 16s, R16 999 with the coupon. Selling out fast though it seems. I missed the istore combo with airpods, looking for 256GB Pro. So far Incredible and Makro seem the best. Anything else out there?

Isn't the istore combo with airpods almost same with makro? instead of iCare you get R2000 then maybe you can use the R2k to buy iCare from istore if you really want 1.
