iPhone 16e is now available at iStore South Africa, making Apple’s latest smartphone more accessible through a robust trade-in programme. From 28 February 2025, customers can purchase the device at physical stores and online, with prices beginning at R6,399 when exchanging eligible devices.
As Apple’s sole Premium Partner in Africa, iStore has developed a trade-in system offering customers up to R22,000 cash back when surrendering their current smartphones. The cash returns directly to customers’ bank accounts within 30 days after purchase, allowing immediate access to the new iPhone without trade-in processing delays.
The pricing structure reveals tangible savings. Trading an iPhone 14 128GB model reduces the new iPhone 16e 128GB to R6,399. Similarly, exchanging an iPhone 14 256GB brings the iPhone 16e 256GB down to R7,999, while the 512GB variant costs R11,999 after trading the equivalent iPhone 14 model.
Owners of iPhone 13 models retain access to meaningful discounts. After trade-in, they can acquire the 128GB iPhone 16e for R7,999, the 256GB for R8,899, and the 512GB configuration for R11,799.
Contract upgrades through iStore now feature a streamlined online process. Customers complete necessary documentation electronically regardless of their original contract location, eliminating store queues. Upon finalisation, iStore delivers the new iPhone 16e to customers without additional fees, supporting Vodacom, MTN, and Telkom contract adjustments.
Each iPhone 16e purchase includes complimentary iCarePlus coverage. This package now guarantees that two years from purchase, iStore will buy back your iPhone for at least 55% of its original value, reducing future upgrade expenses.
The iCarePlus offering extends warranty protection by twelve months and includes screen repair coverage, representing a R11,249 value addition for customers.
With more than 40 locations throughout Southern Africa and a comprehensive online platform, iStore maintains its position as the primary destination for Apple products in the region, offering specialised assistance for individual, commercial, and educational acquisitions.
