My CellC was (and still is) R399 for the Iphone 5, 200minutes, 200SMS, and 500MB. I wont mind paying R100 more if i get a similar deal.
Data being the most important, they can rather give me 70min, 50sms and 1gb data for R499.

This is exactly what I'm on, Telkom mobile is probably going to be the winner with the iPhone6 contracts though.

I'm holding thumbs, unfortunately they are probably going to get the phone last.
I made the very very very stupid mistake of swopping my Iphone5 for a S4 a few months back, i don't know how long i can take it with this phone anymore. Not a single day passes that the words "Farking piece of ****" does not cross my lips.
If it was not for the small screen, i would have got that new Iphone5S TM deal, now there is value for money.

They have very decent pricing on the note 4 as well so hoping they bring in the iPhone 6 16 fb for 399

Just went to have a look, those are some really nice deals. And the Note4 is a beautiful phone...it will probably come down to which deal is the best.

So it's the day before release and Core still hasn't released their cash prices - what the hell?

Methinks we need another official distributor in SA, or maybe even Apple themselves.

I have taken out the same Cell C package and I cannot wait for this damn contract to end. The deal itself and the pricing is great however Cell C is the worst network I've ever been on. Dropped calls and poor/no data connection is a daily occurrence.

TM here I come!

If you search my history on mybb you will see i have had the same below par experience with them, the worse being no data in midrand, this annoyed me to no extend, once i tried calling them to complain about the "no data', after holding for probably 20 minutes, the call drops, this was the first time i have seen red....but its probably been 4 months since i really had a problem with them (touch wood).
My contract expires December, i'm also strongly considering moving over to TM. Everything depends on the deals CellC and TM will be promoting with the Iphone6.

My S3 has been broken for a few months now and I wanted to go back to iOS.

After seeing the official pricing for the phones here I was disappointed. Luckily I know someone coming from the USA next week and I just managed to buy a 128GB 6 right now. :D

I'm so excited. I hope you guys also manage to get one soon.

I'm hoping to get the normal 16GB, no way i'm paying that price difference for a few more gb's. The real question is should i go for the 6+ or normal 6, I'm leaning towards the 6, 4.7 is just a little small, but the 6+ with its 5.5 inch screen is just to big. A 5 inch phone is the best size if you ask me.

4.7 is a good size. If you look at the HTC One M7, or a Galaxy S3. It's still pretty big.

I think that 5.5 is just too big for a phone. The 4.7 size of my S3 was perfect for me and thankfully the 6 is very similar to the size of an S3. I only have one pair of jeans that it will peek out of :eek:

I'm busy using a friends 4s now and it is tiny!

You are probably right, the S4 I'm using now is 5 inches, the screen being the only thing i love about this phone, but i do sometimes struggle to type with one hand, its just out of my reach.... 4.7 might be the answer.
The only real thing that throws me of the normal 6 is its excuse of a battery, but since the S4 also cant last a normal working day, i see no reason not to go for the 6.

WTF, got a mail from Apple confirming my registration, got all the documents ready, and now the mail is AWOL? Guess that apple can recall mails sent out.

Reviews tend to show the iPhone 6 gets quite good battery life - I'm surprised your S4 runs out so quickly, but of course it depends on how you use it.

Hmm if you're on GMail you may have archived it by mistake. Log in to the web version of GMail and check the "All Mail" folder.
