Buying advice for Algeria

Both Apple iPhone 5c and Apple iPhone 6 are sold in Algeria, but they fit different priorities.

Apple iPhone 5c is 30% cheaper at 7,000 DZD versus 10,000 DZD for the Apple iPhone 6, leaving room for accessories or a longer screen-protection plan.

Apple iPhone 6 packs a 1810 mAh battery, which translates to longer screen-on time when you are away from a charger.

At this price you should expect 4G across Algerian networks (Mobilis, Djezzy, Ooredoo) and basic 60-90Hz screens.
