<\/a><\/p>\nThe iPhone 14 pre-orders on contract are also now open via Vodacom, MTN or Telkom.<\/p>\n
Apple unveiled the new iPhone earlier in September. The new phone retains the general look of the older version while getting camera enhancements, a long-anticipated satellite-messaging feature and \u2013 on the higher-end models \u2013 a new interface called the Dynamic Island.<\/p>\n
The bulk of the iPhone upgrades are coming to the higher-end Pro line. Those devices will get a 48-megapixel camera and a screen that\u2019s capable of always staying on in a low-power mode, similar to recent versions of the Apple Watch.<\/p>\n
That will let the new phones show widgets with bits of information \u2013 weather, calendar appointments and stock tickers, for instance \u2013 while the rest of the screen remains off.<\/p>\n
Apple has redesigned the notch at the top of the screen, essentially turning it into a new interface called the Dynamic Island. The Pro devices also will get the speedier new A16 processor, while the standard line will run a modestly souped-up version of the current A15. Apple describes the A16 as the fastest chip in a smartphone, 40% speedier than the competition.<\/p>\n
Apple Watch<\/strong><\/p>\n The group has also opened up pre-orders for other products, like the Apple Watch, starting at R5,999 for the SE and going up to R17,999 for the stainless steel Series 8.<\/p>\n Customers who pre-order online will have their Apple Watches delivered to their door on 23 September 2022.<\/p>\n As with the iPhone, customers can trade-in their current Apple Watch and receive a direct discount of up to R5,200, against the purchase of a new Apple Watch, iStore said.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
