This deal requires you to be signed up with Optus.

1. Choose colour: GOLD
2. Model: 128GB
3. New or Existing (No different)
4. Month to Month
5. $965 for the first month included 100MB data.
6. Called up when your first month almost end to close account.

*If you want it on 12 months plan that would be $85 month included 100MB data with total $1020, $1 more to buy it from Apple store.

*If you want it on 24 months plan that would be $45 month included 100MB data with total $1080, $61 more to buy it from Apple store.

The 12 or 24 months contract deal are just good for those people that want the latest iPad Air2 and paying it like installment.

This deal may not suit everyone, but I just wanted to share it for anyone interestedinn getting the Air2.

Also, confirmed with Optus the iPad Air2 are NOT carrier locked!!!

  Do these come with lots of Optus crap preinstalled that I can't get rid of?

    It's iOS so you can just reset everything and they will be gone.

    Apple devices don't come preloaded with carrier stuff.

    I guess it's an ok deal…but I honestly don't think 100MB is particularly useful and anyone paying a premium for a cellular model would probably want to go take up an additional plan or put a prepaid SIM in it.

      maths time, on the $55 plan give you 1.5GB each month cost over 24 months $1320 with 36GB data included.

      On the $45 plan on 12 months $1020 + $125 Voda prepaid give you 15GB/365 days total $1145.

      On the $45 plan on 24 months $1080 + $250 Voda prepaid give you 30GB/730 days total $1330.

      So if you need extra data preferred to sign up the $55 plan with extra 6GB data over 24 months plus the RISK of going over the limit.

    • is it locked to Optus? Even if it is unlocked, still more expensive.

  this may be neg'd, but why would anyone buy this when the surface pro 3 i3 is less than 1000 and you get a laptop in a tablet? this is not really a deal either way

    For starters this has a 3g/4g modem.

    sky6688 on 26/10/2014 - 10:06

    why don't you mentioned that a 64GB model and not the 128GB model for $1209 and it's wifi only.

    • 

      Smigit on 26/10/2014 - 10:17

      It also requires an additional purchase to act as a laptop.

      In any event, personally I'd get an iPad since id prefer to use iOS over Windows 8 as a tablet OS.

    iPad Air 2 Cellular: 444g

      That's a great point - the light weight puts the Apple product in a league of its own.

      • 

        PVA on 26/10/2014 - 16:02

        what league is that, apple ain't by itself at all.
        The Sony Z2 tablet still weighs less and until the air2 was released it was also the worlds thinnest. (even now its only 0.3 mm thicker) plus water proof etc.

        and you cant compare a small 9.7 inch tablet to the 12inch Microsoft one when talking weight. different class of product that Apple has no device to be part of.

      • 

        Smigit on 26/10/2014 - 16:21

        @PVA:
        You certainly can discuss the weight. If you want to use the Microsoft Surface as a tablet then it's a very relative point of comparison, just as size, cost, OS and other factors are all fair game as well. Microsoft sells and markets it on its tablet credentials as much as it does its ability to run as more of a laptop.

        With that in mind, it's perfectly valid for someone to decide the added wight is a worthwhile tradeoff for the benefits that system bring them.

  Ask Apple store to price match it? Very expensive for a tablet though.

  • 

    [Deactivated] on 26/10/2014 - 10:24

    How can they price match? totally different conditions.

    • 

      netsurfer on 26/10/2014 - 11:28

      It does not hurt to try. We are only talking about 5%. I know they do price match. The main reason to buy from Apple store is their 14 day satisfaction guarantee is really good.

      I returned 2 iPads due to dead pixel (I don't like a new iPad with even 1 dead pixel). Target gave me a hard time. Anyway, my current record of getting an iPad WITHOUT dead pixel is 50%.

  I brought the iPad mini a few months back on this sort of $5 plan with Optus. It worked out cheaper than Apple.
  It's valid and works I called within a month and cancelled and got billed the agreed fee for the iPad and $5 for the month.
  They do credit check you so keep that in mind if your conscious of loans and credit credit history.

  It seems that you can't currently order it anyway. It says 'Coming Soon' for me. Still a good saving if you want the iPad Air 2. I have bought my iPad Air 2 already, but if it was readily available it is a nice saving of $50
