Alongside the iPhone 15 series, iStore has unveiled South African pricing for the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2.
Apple Watch Series 9
Starting at R10,499, the Apple Watch Series 9 is powered by a new chipset, the S9 SiP, and has a new double tap gesture and on-device Siri. Select case and band combinations of Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Watch Ultra 2, and Apple Watch SE are being hailed as “Apple’s first-ever carbon neutral products.”
“At Apple, we are committed to making products customers love and protecting the planet at the same time, and this year, we hit a key milestone toward our Apple 2030 goal,” said Lisa Jackson, Apple’s vice president of Environment, Policy, and Social Initiatives. “Our first carbon neutral products were made in a uniquely Apple way, steeply reducing carbon emissions from materials, electricity, and transportation through innovation and design.”
