iPhone 5 prices for SA emerge
Vodacom’s iPhone 5 pre-order page now lists the contract deals it has available for the device.
The latest iteration of Apple’s smartphone is set to go on sale in South Africa on 14 December 2012, with all four mobile network operators offering the device this year.
Vodacom has confirmed that it will start selling the device next week Friday, while 8ta’s website indicates it will offer the device on the same day.
Cell C said that it will offer the iPhone 5, but would confirm exact dates and pricing at a later stage.
MTN’s website also lists a registration page for more information about the device, but the operator hasn’t been specific about when it plans to launch the iPhone 5.
