When Thando, a young professional working in Sandton’s financial district, decided to finally upgrade her phone, she wasn’t sure where to start. She didn’t want to spend over R20,000 on a new iPhone, nor did she trust the sketchy deals she kept seeing on social media. She wanted something reliable, stylish, and affordable — something that looked as good in the boardroom as it did at brunch.
That’s when she found iPhoneNext.

How iPhoneNext Helped Thando Level Up
After browsing online, Thando visited our Melrose Arch location and tested a few options in person. With the help of our team, she landed on a refurbished iPhone 12 for R9499 — the perfect mix of power, style, and budget. We even threw in a free screen protector and gave her R500 off on future repairs.
