The iPhone 13 is here and few things beat the excitement of treating yourself to a shiny new palm-sized device. From a crisp new screen and case to a camera glow up – there’s a lot to consider when picking your new smartphone. But one thing you shouldn’t find yourself held back by is where to upgrade your smartphone and get the best value for your budget. For iPhone users, the journey to upgrading their cellular contracts is being made a comfortable one at iStore – South Africa’s Apple Premium Reseller.

Customers can upgrade their cellular contracts in-store or online at iStore without hassle – regardless of where they took out their contract initially. Or a quick pop into one of the 25 iStores across the country will allow you to upgrade your Vodacom, MTN, or Telkom contract on the spot with additional assistance from the highly trained technicians ready to help. And you can even upgrade your Business cellular contract or take out a new one all under one roof.

Have an older iPhone? When you trade in your current iPhone and upgrade your contract at iStore you can now also get up to R15,000 cash back, depending on the condition of your iPhone. iStore will give you cash back straight into your account to spend wherever you choose. You also still have the options to have your trade in value loaded onto an iStore gift card, or to use it to reduce the cost of your monthly cellular contract. The choice is yours.

For those wanting to practice social distance or just have the convenience of shopping online, iStore allows you to upgrade your iPhone from the comfort of your home. A quick visit to the cellular upgrade page on the iStore website will have you applying for a contract upgrade with a few quick clicks. Your new iPhone will be delivered right to your doorstep and Johannesburg customers score even more with a free-of-charge same-day courier service.

Beyond this, you get access to iCare Plus Two-Year Extended Warranty with any iPhone upgrade or purchase – which includes a free screen replacement - whether it be in-store or online. This cover is valued at R1,999, giving you peace of mind that your most loved product is always taken care of.

For those who need additional assistance, iStore offers customers free training. This sets you up some quality time with one of their expert trainers on staff who’ll be able to help you get acquainted with your new iPhone’s features and answer any queries you have. And, if you feel like getting extra inside tips and tricks, customers can join iStore’s regularly hosted iStore Meets Workshops. Hosted on Zoom, customers have the chance to get exposed to Apple aficionados who cover everything from iPhoneography, video editing, business management, and more. You can sign up for these free sessions on iStore’s website.

As a bonus, upgrading your iPhone through iStore entitles you to a free six-month subscription to ReactPlus – which is an exclusive emergency-response app that was developed in conjunction with iStore. Once your free subscription ends, you can easily continue it for a budget-friendly cost of R39 per month. You can find more information on ReactPlus and this offer on iStore’s website.

So, for iPhone users getting ready for their iPhone 13 upgrade – consider skipping the hassle and saving even more by going straight to iStore.
