Apple Contracts: Watches, iPhones & Deals | Vodacom South Africa

Choosing the best Apple deal

Step 1:

Device selection

When choosing your Apple Watch and iPhone deal, start by selecting the ideal iPhone 15 model: standard, Plus, Pro or Pro Max.  Also, consider the storage size that suits your needs. Decide on the watch case size and whether you need cellular and GPS capabilities or GPS-only functionality.

Step 2:

Contract or cash?

The 24-month contract remains the preferred option for those accustomed to the two-year phone upgrade cycle.  While the monthly cost is slightly higher, it stills offers an affordable path to acquiring a new iPhone.  On the other hand, the 36-month contract continues to be a popular choice, especially for individuals seeking the latest iPhone without breaking the bank.

Step 3:

Finding the perfect plan

We've built our RED plans with you in mind; designed to give you the freedom to choose minutes and data that suit your lifestyle, the best Apple device to meet your technology needs, plus more rewards and benefits.

Nevertheless, as no electronic method of data transmission and storage is totally secure, Vodacom and its service providers, despite its reasonable efforts to protect the security of your personal information, cannot guarantee its absolute efficacy.

Personal data that you provide to us by using the Services feedback function will be erased following a period after the matter has been completed.
