In Benoni, where balancing quality and budget is a daily reality, getting your hands on a reliable iPhone without the stress of monthly contracts has become more than a convenience — it’s a lifestyle shift.
That’s why more and more savvy buyers in Benoni are turning to iPhoneNext. Located just a short drive away in Melrose Arch, iPhoneNext has become the go-to spot for anyone looking to stretch their budget without sacrificing quality or support.
The Search for Value in Benoni
For many Benoni residents — from students at Ekurhuleni East TVET to entrepreneurs and professionals — the dream of owning an iPhone was often gated behind sky-high retail prices or restrictive mobile contracts.
“R15,000 upfront for a brand-new iPhone just isn’t realistic for most people I know,” says Kabelo M., a freelance videographer from Northmead. “But I still need a good phone — mainly for my work, Instagram reels, and quick edits on the go.”
When Kabelo found a refurbished iPhone 11 for just R6,499 at iPhoneNext — with a 12-month warranty and battery health above 85% — it was a no-brainer. “It’s honestly one of the best tech decisions I’ve made,” he says.
What’s the Best iPhone for Your Money?
If you're living in or around Benoni and you want performance without the price tag, here’s what we’re seeing as the best value iPhones in 2025:
-
iPhone 11 (Preowned)
Price: Around R6,499 – R7,999
Why: Great all-rounder — strong performance, solid battery life, dual camera. Perfect for creators, students, and remote workers.
-
iPhone XR
Price: R5,499 – R6,999
Why: Sleek design, decent performance, and cheaper than the 11. Ideal for everyday users.
-
iPhone SE (2020)
Price: R3,999 – R4,999
Why: A budget-friendly powerhouse. Same chip as iPhone 11 in a compact body. Best bang for your buck.
Benoni buyers tend to go for devices that offer durability and compatibility with accessories (like wireless chargers and camera gear). The iPhone 11, especially, is known to hold up incredibly well in both resale value and performance longevity.
What’s the Cheapest iPhone Available?
Looking for the cheapest option that still delivers? iPhoneNext frequently stocks iPhone 8 models starting from just R2,999, making them an ideal entry point into the Apple ecosystem.
These phones are still fully supported by iOS updates and work seamlessly with most modern apps. They're a hit among high schoolers, first-time iPhone users, and budget-conscious professionals in areas like Crystal Park and Actonville.
Durability Meets Design
Many of the iPhones sold at iPhoneNext are housed in aluminium and glass frames that offer a balance of style and toughness. Here's a quick breakdown:
- iPhone 8 / SE: Compact, lightweight, and cost-effective, but with smaller screens and older-style bezels.
- iPhone XR / 11: Modern, edge-to-edge screens, more durable glass, and longer battery life — without the flagship price.
- iPhone 12+ Series: Starting around R10,999 – R15,999, they’re for those wanting 5G, MagSafe, and premium photography features.
Each device at iPhoneNext is rigorously tested, cleaned, and restored with quality parts. You’re not getting a “second-hand gamble” — you’re getting certified, peace-of-mind value.
