All you Apple lovers out there, it’s that time of the year again! On September 7th, the tech giant in its annual product launch event unveiled the face of the latest upgrade to its flagship smartphone. The latest iPhone 14 and iPhone Plus come packed with a sleek design, stellar camera upgrade, innovative safety competencies, expeditious performance, and powerful battery.
All 4 models will be available for purchase in UAE later in September, with pre-bookings for the phones already started nationwide. While you will not be able to get your hands on the latest models until October, you can pre-book to make sure you get the device at the earliest.
iPhone 14: How to Save Money while Shopping?
If you are drooling (like most of us) over the phone, you must have already seen the eye-popping price tag that all four models are flaunting.
These are, of course, the latest smartphones the brand has launched, so there are not any discounts intrinsically. But there are certainly ways and tips to get the best deal in the market and save a good amount of money. You can trade in your old smartphone, subscribe to a network carrier installment plan, use your credit cards to qualify for cashback, and see if any of your rewards and discount app can be used to further slash the price down.
However, we do advise you to use credit cards cautiously and make payments on time for a good credit score. Late payments and accumulated interest can result in increased financial burden so we recommend you resist the urge to spend more than you can affordably pay!

Trade in your old iPhone:
The simplest of all ways to get a decent deal is to trade in your old phone. If you are an existing iPhone user, you can trade in your existing phone to get a reasonable credit towards a new iPhone.
Depending on the condition and model of the device, you could save as much as AED 3,500 when making a new purchase.
