With Black Friday nearly here, South Africans are looking for the best deals on top hardware — and the recently released Apple iPhone 15 stands out as a highly sought-after product.
Released in South Africa in September, the iPhone 15 is now stocked locally by almost every major retailer that sells high-end smartphones.
We researched the pricing of the four iPhone 15 models across South Africa’s most popular retailers to see which store offers the best pricing.
Here are our findings.

Cheapest iPhone retailers
The three retailers that stood apart across the different iPhone models were Takealot, Nedbank Avo SuperShop, and Shop and Ship.
We were particularly impressed with Nedbank Avo SuperShop featuring so highly because, unlike the other providers, selling technology is only a small part of what the app is designed for.
An additional benefit of shopping on Avo is that customers earn 1% back in AvoPoints, which can be used towards their next purchase on the platform – making the offering more attractive.
(Note: At the time of publication, we could only find prices for the Apple iPhone 15 base models on Vodacom and MTN, and they were only available on a contract deal from Telkom.)
