Apple iPhone X – Expected contract price and South African launch date

Industry sources have revealed the expected entry-level contract pricing for the iPhone X in South Africa.
An entry-level contract from a major network will start at R999 per month, said the source.
The device is expected to launch in South Africa in mid-November.
Expected cash price
The report comes after Mobile in Africa CEO RJ Van Spaandonk hinted that the cash price of the iPhone X may be around R20,000.
Van Spaandonk, who is also the Executive Director of Core Group, said the iPhone X could cost double that of Xiaomi’s flagship devices – which are set to retail for around R10,500 in SA.
The iPhone X is Apple’s flagship smartphone, and features a 5.8-inch Super Retina OLED display.
It supports 3D Touch, HDR10, and Dolby Vision HDR standards, and features a resolution of 2,436 x 1,125 with a “million-to-one” contrast ratio.
