South Africans are going to have to fork out a lot more money for this year’s iPhone 14 range if they are upgrading or purchasing new devices. iStore has released the official iPhone 14 South African pricing ahead of the release date on 23 September and every model has seen an R3,000 – R6,200 price hike in comparison to last year’s iPhone 13.
For example, the iPhone 14 Pro range will see customers spending up to R6,200 for the 1TB iPhone 14 Pro Max and R5,100 more for the 512GB model. The base iPhone 14 will set you back R3,300 for the 128GB model and R4,800 for the 512GB.
While a possible price hike was expected for the phone range, seeing these price tags increase by up to R6,200 is frightening. An iPhone model in South Africa has now surpassed the R40,000 price tag. The official price breakdown for the iPhone 14 in South Africa is as follows.
