    No deal. For $100-200 more I can get a SE

    • More like $50 more for a brand new SE. $399 at Harvey Norman. I think you can get them unlocked for free.

      • And 32GB instead of 16

  • +2

    Ya, SE is much better.

  • +9

    $349 for a refurbished phone that is how old? One might argue that even if you liked the apple ecosystem AND the 4 inch display, you could get an SE (as said above) for only a bit more.
    The 5s is so old at least you'll get $1 cases from like everywhere!

    But seriously, no deal. This phone was released mid September 2013. That's nearly four years old.

  • holy shit this is old stuff rip off, this is museum tech in phone speak

  • +4

    All those years of somebody else's spit and sweat, in their bed, part of their life. A phone is a very personal item, like a toothbrush.
    Cant believe a major store like Aldi is acting like a pawnbroker and selling used phones

  • +6

    I like Aldi refurbished toothbrushes.

    • +2

      you mean toilet brushes!

      • +2

        same thing innit?

  • +5

    Is this serious or nah?
    They're half this price on eBay. Aldi have lost the plot.

    • Aldi's been always selling items marked as weekly specials while it can been found the same price elsewhere.

    rerubbish no deal, +100 more for a brand new 32GB iPhone 6 from telstra shop $449

  • Sorry OP this is not a deal. Cheaper, everywhere.

    NO deal, but got to agree no other products hold their value like apple stuff.

    Personally, I much prefer android myself

    • Lots of products hold their value, even more.

      Or do you just mean in mobile phones?

      • I meant mainly the apple iphones and Macs.

    • So much so that the iPhone 5s 16GB is $245 delivered on eBay and this is brand new?. No this is just a highly inflated price on a used good at ALDI. No second hand iPhone 5s 16GB is worth $349. This is nearly 4 years old.

  • +1

    This is a joke.
    For few dollars more you can choose from iphone 6/6s or SE…
    Plus apple doesn't provide any waranty.
    This product is considered second hand so even consumer laws are futile…

    • +1

      Doesn't aldi have one of the best warranty policies though? You'll probably have a easier time getting warranty with aldi than apple.

  • Next up Aldi refurbished toilet paper.. only 5c a roll I mean disease

  • Who convinced Aldi this was a good idea?

    • +2

      They'll still sell out to non-professionals, because of Aldi special buy hype.

      • +2

        Sad but true. There will probably be a lot of older/less tech savvy shoppers who will think this is a good deal

        Congrats on Comment #5400 WatchNerd!

      • People who buy Apple products are stupid so it makes sense that Aldi would sell it.

    • I think they some how convinced the OP.

    • Cashed up bogans in Mt Druitt, Footscray or Logan

  • Fight in stores i reckon

    • +1

      Maybe the OP was being sarcastic!.

  • The 5s holds up well, but you'd be nuts to buy one at this price. Pay an extra $50 and get a new better SE.

  • Not a good deal. I got a Iphone 6 128GB for $408….And 5s 16gb are selling for $249 in excellent condition :

    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Apple-iPhone-5S-4G-Smartphone-16-…

    $189 if you are happy with "fair" condition, or half the price of this deal.

    • iPhone 5s 16GB is more like is selling for $245 on eBay in brand new condition with 1 year warranty.

  • No deal, hands down. Also, who did the refurbished work? Apple does refurbished as well and they are top notch, but they don’t supply it to third parties AFAIK, only available thru their own online store.

  • Yeah this is a awful deal for a used iPhone 5s 16GB. You can buy them brand new on eBay for $245 delivered with 12 months warranty. A few examples:

    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-Apple-iPhone-5s-16GB-32GB-64G…

    No one in their right mind is going to go to ALDI and pay this for a used iPhone 5s. OP, i can't see any one fighting over them since it's such a bad deal. Who is ALDI trying to kid with this price?.

    • Those phones are definitely not brand new but nevertheless a better deal than this

      • Oh yeah my mistake, it turns out even although it claims brand new in the eBay description, one of them is refurbished, but still $104 less than ALDI. And the one from dvdorchard may be a grey imported stock, but still as i said, $104 less than ALDI!.

    Aldi started off with good quality products and decent prices but personally, I do not buy their special buy products anymore. The quality has turned to crap and price has gone way up. See it again and again in the store. Aldi thinks Australians are stupid and just like a drug dealer they give you the high-quality goods at the start then sell you sub-par SH!T. They were good only while trying to woo the Aus public, but just like Bunnings, Bcf and Annaconda now they think we are sheep and treat us all accordingly. Just my opinion in what I see.

  • +1

    Just buy a Xiaomi at this price!!!!Wasn't the iPhone 5s $349 new a while back??

    • +1

      Not sure, but i do know they are currently going for $245 brand new on eBay.

      • Yup, don't know why this is even on Ozbargain… Accidentally upvoted the deal now I can't even down vote it :(

        • +1

          I down voted here. Is a really terrible deal, actually no deal as a matter of fact. It may have been a deal like nearly 4 years ago but not now.

  • Aldi spam is cheap!!!

  • +1

    Despite the backlash at least you made an effort to pass on something you thought was a bargain.

    That is appreciated, thanks

    The 32gb SE I got for the missus the other week for 250 at Big W would like a word with this deal.

    • Yeah that's a rippa deal. But unfortunately for the OP, this whole thread is a joke when it comes to the price.

  • So, I can either:
    - beat of hordes of punters to buy a used 4 year old phone, or
    - go to Officeworks or Hardly Normal, spend $50 more and and buy a brand new phone with double the RAM, double the storage, full Apple Pay support, a much better rear camera, a much faster processor and a full warranty before spending 5 minutes on Telstra Live Chat to get it unlocked…

    Sorry, but no deal.

  • +1

    Do yourself a favour, spend $50 more and buy a brand new iPhone SE 32GB for $399 from Harvey Norman or Officeworks. Perhaps forget about an over priced refurbished iPhone 5s. That's if you really must have an iPhone and not an Android mobile phone. Personally i think that my Sony Xperia XA Ultra (Android phone) which i got from Sony for $299 a few months ago is way better than this iPhone 5s.

    • +5

      Wouldn't touch an iPhone
      Android all the way

      • I wouldn't go iPhone again. Currently using a 16gb iPhone 5. Only because I inherited it from a family member that upgraded to a new contract and phone.

        Parents have an Android phone and tablet that offers so much more freedom than the restrictive iPhones. This deal is way over priced for a refurbushed 5s. 16gb is also limiting as iPhone offer no memory expansion.

  • Booooo Aldi!!!

  • Did anyone witness any fights over this great bargain lol
