Which one should you buy?
- iPhone 17: the best value in the range and the one most people should look at first.
- iPhone Air: the thinnest and lightest model, for people who care about design.
- iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max: the best cameras and performance for heavy users and creators.
Cash price vs contract
Most South Africans buy on a contract from Vodacom, MTN or Telkom. Over 24 months the total cost can be higher than the cash price because of interest and the airtime plan. Always compare the total contract cost with the cash price, and check for in-store discounts and trade-in offers.
Tips before you buy
- Compare prices at Apple-authorised resellers, networks and big retailers.
- Check what comes in the box, as chargers and accessories may differ.
- Confirm the local warranty and that the phone is a South African model.
- Avoid unusually cheap grey imports.
