Cois Posted November 12, 2020 Share Any clearer indication yet of when the 12 will be available in SA?Nope. The iStore told me that they do not have an idea. But have a feeling it is only going to launch next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cois Posted December 10, 2020 Share Waiting for the 18th to see what the contract prices will do. Think my XR will go back to Apple while it has some value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ouzo Posted December 23, 2020 Share So cellc advertise they have iPhone 12. Since I’m with them already it’s an easy upgrade. But They have no stock yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dev null Posted December 23, 2020 Share Still have my iPhone 6. I refuse to pay more than 10k for a phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ouzo Posted December 23, 2020 Share Still have my iPhone 6. I refuse to pay more than 10k for a phone.My 6s battery that I replaced in October is not lasting, and the charging port has become a little dodgy, so I’m keen to upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoddieJ Posted December 23, 2020 Share So cellc advertise they have iPhone 12. Since I’m with them already it’s an easy upgrade. But They have no stock yet.Lol, CellC are no longer stocking iPhones, even if they don’t let you in on it...I waited nearly 3 months, and just before my contract ran out they called to tell me they received stock so I renewed. Even iStore does not do contract renewals for CellC as they do for other providers. I suggest you either hold out on renewing or pay for it at an iStore on your credit card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest you either hold out on renewing or pay for it at an iStore on your credit card for a long time they did not have iPhones listed, but now with the release of the 12 they have them again. If nothing transpires in the upcoming weeks I will have to port to one of the other networks and get from iStore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cois Posted December 23, 2020 Share Anyone know how long it takes for iStore to contact you if you pre ordered an upgrade?Applied on launch day and still waiting to hear back from them. At this stage I am only going to replace the battery on my Xr and skip the 12 mini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cois Posted December 31, 2020 Share iStore is a bunch of Muppets!Went there to do my upgrade since the online guys stuffed it all up.Was told at Menlyn that the upgrade team only starts working at 11h00 and that I was number 8 in line of my upgrade. So The doorman told me that my upgrade would not be done on the day, but I could come back the next day. A upgrade takes 45 minutes to an hour to complete.So we went to Vodacom and complete our upgrades there. No waiting in line and no unpleasantness at all.I so wish that Core Group would go bust and that Apple would take over. The country is already run by muppets so it would be nice to visit a retailer with no muppets. Rocket-Boy and The Ghost 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cois Posted January 4, 2021 Share Anyone else notice that the iPhone 12 on Vodacom does not support 5G yet?So I am not sure why they told me it supports 5G on their network and now it does not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoddieJ Posted January 4, 2021 Share As far as I know, it does support 5G. It was announced and reviewed as the first iPhone that’s 5G capable. However, Vodacom have not rolled out commercially accessible 5G due to permissions not having been resolved by ICASA yet. I believe that this should happen during Q2 of this year AFAIK. Some Service Providers are advocating 5G, which should more correctly be described as 4.5G. Cois 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
