Importing the iPhone 5 – The SA Experience

Published by on Oct 5th, 2012, 21 Comments

After receiving 2 iPhone 5′s with the model A1429, one black and one white with objective to sell one to offset the costs of buying a phone out of contract.

I brought them in via pre order in the UK and then got a friend to Fedex them to me (mistake as this was pretty expensive, with shipping and duties.+-R2500 extra).

So if you’re planning on going this route for the iPhone 6, get a friend to fly down with them hidden in his suitcase.

So, on to choosing which one to use, I opted to use the white one based on the following reasons.

  • After reading numerous posts and playing with a friends black version  it is prone to chipping and scuffing.
  • The white one seemed a little naff, but hey I am a metro sexual I can handle it!
  • All my previous iPhones garnished the white finish and I felt comfortable moving into this realm.
  • The white one was a 32gig and the black one was a 16gig (’nuff said)
