Apple iPhone 17 Price in South Africa
Pros
- Sleek Design: The iPhone 17 - shaping up to be super slim, making it easy to carry around and look good doing it.
- Awesome Display: Rocking ProMotion tech, which means smoother scrolling and gaming with refresh rates from 1Hz to 120Hz. Nice!
- Camera Upgrades: Get ready for a 24MP front camera, and maybe a 48MP telephoto lens on the back. Your photos are about to get way better.
- Powerhouse Performance: The new A19 chip (hurrah!), made using a fancy 2nm process, should give you a serious boost in speed and battery life. Who doesn't want that?
- Top-Notch Connectivity: Pro models might come with a snazzy Apple-designed 5G modem and support for Wi-Fi 7, which means faster everything.
Cons
- Pricey: The new models, especially the Slim one, are expected to be pretty expensive, making wallet-watchers think twice.
- Fewer Choices: The "Plus" model is getting the boot, in case you like bigger screens without going Pro, you're out of luck.
- Meh Upgrades: Some new features might feel more like small tweaks than game-changers, wonder if it’s worth the upgrade if you’ve already got a recent iPhone.
- Possible Launch Delays: With Apple focusing on in-house parts, any hiccups in production could mean waiting longer to get your hands on the new phone.
