Features of an iPhone 15 explained

Arnold Waterloo, a store manager at Digicape (an Apple premium reseller), noted that an iPhone 15 currently retails at R19,999.

He explained to Briefly News why it would attract such a price:

"Apple designs its devices and platforms to ensure privacy and to keep information secure and is committed to protecting customers’ data. iPhones include innovative privacy technologies and features. These are designed to minimise how much of customers’ data Apple – or anyone else – can access.

Man buys R370 'iPhone 15 Pro Max for brother's birthday

In another article about iPhones, Briefly News reported about a local man who paid way less, R370, when he bought his brother a supposed iPhone 15 Pro Max for his 21st birthday.

In the TikTok video, the gentleman, presumably at a store selling replicas of well-known items at a discounted price, shows viewers a cellular device with the Apple logo on the back. However, when he flips the phone, the design looks nothing like an Apple iPhone.
