We contacted the retailer, and they confirmed that they do, indeed, have stock and are selling the handsets. Stock is limited though. But if you place your order today, you’ll receive the device by Monday next week, depending on where it’s shipped to.
It finally looks like there may be hope for us. A recent tweet by popular tech retailer Cellucity sent shockwaves through Twitter. The tweet simply reads: “18 December…” accompanied by five little apple emojis. Cellucity has confirmed that South Africans will, indeed, get Apple’s new lineup of smartphones in the shapes of the iPhone 12, the iPhone 12 Mini and the iPhone 12 Pro. Even though pricing hasn’t been confirmed at all, we do know that they’re coming.
We’ve had no word from iStore South Africa about local pricing or availability at this point.
Well, there you have it. Although it’s not through the iStore, the Smartphoneshop is a reputable importer and retailer. We trust that orders placed for the new iPhone 12s will get to customers.
