It's iPhone 14 Pre-Order Day: Here's how to do it

Almost an entire two weeks after Apple announced a bunch of products at its September 7 event, the entire lineup of iPhone 14 devices is now up for pre-order in Mzansi.

Core, the official and only distributor of Apple products in South Africa has confirmed that shipments for three models — the iPhone 14, 14 Pro, and the 14 Pro Max — will begin on September 23. Those pre-ordering the iPhone 14 Plus will need to wait quite a bit longer, with shipments for this iPhone 14 variant only beginning from October 7.

How To Get Yours

In order to pre-order an iPhone 14, users need to visit iStore’s online store, choose their model, and click the buy button. iStore’s website also allows consumers to trade in their older phones for credit toward an iPhone 14. Additionally, those opting to choose a carrier before checking out are eligible for some discount or another — included in the final price of the device.

The pricing for the base model of the iPhone 14 — with 128GB of internal storage — starts at R20 599, and the device is available in five colour options: Blue, Purple, Midnight, Starlight, and Product Red. The iPhone 14 is available in two other storage options, including 256GB (R23 199) and 512GB (R28 499). Strangely enough, there’s no iPhone 14 Plus listed for South Africa as yet.

Apart from being offered in four colour options; Deep Purple, Gold, Silver, and Space Black, the iPhone 14 Pro also gets a 1TB variant priced at R38 599 — in addition to the 128GB (R25 699), 256GB (R28 299), and 512GB (R33 499) variants. The flagship variant of the iPhone — the iPhone 14 Pro Max — gets the same four colour options as the 14 Pro with the same four storage variants; 128GB (R28 399), 256GB (R30 999), 512GB (R35 399), and 1TB (R41 499).
