Cheapest deal found on staticice.

Apple iPhone X 256GB Silver - $1649 $1674 + $29.99 postage
Apple iPhone X 256GB Space Grey - $1664 $1674 + $29.99 postage

I price matched at Office Works and got further 5% off for the Space Grey. They take into account the postage cost of $29.99 from Techrific which ends up being $1609.25 after the 5% off. Good for those travelling overseas (which I am!) to get a further 10% off on Tax Refund. Total for me will come to $1462.95 after TRS. Pretty good deal for the X IMO.

        plus Techrific doesn't have a 'brick & mortar' store which is a condition in David Jones price match policy I was told

        • myghetto on 07/01/2018 - 17:30

          Yes good point. I was actually afraid Office Works requires a physical store but the person I spoke to must have missed it when I told him 'Aus Stock'. Local Myer and DJ will not match stores outside the city or state. They are located in VIC so maybe I am real lucky?

        • ozibargainer on 07/01/2018 - 17:36

          @myghetto: It seems it does fall under OW policy thats why you didn't have any issues. Enjoy your new toy.

      Only if you had a very old battery.

      Change it for a new one, and your phone will speed up again. If it was ever affected. And the replacement is cheap too.

      At least they make an effort to keep our old phones reliable. When they notice a problem in the field a year or three after the phone was made, they fix it even though they risk a PR disaster.

      Many other firms can barely manage timely updates, let alone half-decent support after 12 months- and just allow their phones to fail.

      Firstly I hate that they had been slowing down phones… and I knew they were just from experience.

      But if you read what they did it actually makes sense… they slow down the device to improve battery life. That makes a lot of scene from an IT Standard. They should have just been honest with it or included a switch in the Systems to enable that 'feature' or not.

  • D6C1 on 07/01/2018 - 15:15

    12 months warranty with such a hefty price tag?! Wow people are real sheep.

    • tomleonhart on 07/01/2018 - 15:30

      Not a fan of a price tag either. But realistically you can't expect a longer warranty period just because you pay more.

      A $500 TV and a $5000 TV from the same brand would have had the same warranty period.

  • bowtiehoon on 07/01/2018 - 15:38

    • joeiwu on 07/01/2018 - 21:26
      +8

      Correct me if I am wrong, Ozbargainers’ spirit is to find a good bargain, so that translates to finding the same product for less money elsewhere. It doesn’t necessarily mean that all bargains have to be for cheap items. Value perception is different for all of us, so taking into account the RRP for an item, if one can buy for cheaper elsewhere then it’s a bargain. Whether it’s a good bargain or not is fairly accurately told by the amount of upvotes for that particular deal.

      It simply works - Apple. People pay for that price tag not because it is Apple only but everything from Apple: services, warranty, etc. Same as why people drive Merc and BMW etc instead of other ordinary cars, when you can afford and can enjoy, that’s what matters :)

        Believing the sales pitch is all that matters. Some do, some don't. Some fall so far down the rabbit hole that they start offering new inane slogans in support of their chosen multinational corporate delusion. "It simply works - Apple."

          dont know about others but to me I can just use the phone straightaway with iPhone with only a few steps in setups, with Android it takes me time and time with their unnecessary settings.

        That's because Apple gets graded on a different curve. Case in point, when Apple dropped the 3.5mm headphone jack it was a big hoo-haa. Google made the point to emphasise that they retained the headphone jack in the original Pixel but when they then dropped it in the Pixel 2, there was no fuss.

    Note to all sellers online, especially on eBay. We know what you mean when you say AUS Stock. The phone is in stock in Australia, but not including Australian based warranty. Usually this 12 month warranty is a scheme to confuse buyers when purchasing. Take note when it says "12 month warranty" as usually it isn't an Australian product.

  • Rakddon on 08/01/2018 - 09:41

    This is the same shonky company behind the eBay account oz_deal. They sold me a 'new' iPhone 6 which I had bought for my mum and it turned out to be anything but new. It was a refurbished phone and cause no end of stress and hassle for me and my mum. It is quite likely they are playing on words and this in fact isn't official Australian Stock, just like my iPhone 6 wasn't a new one. Just an refurbished phone in a new box. So dodgy….

    I had a win at OW today, but only just. Here is the chronology:

    1. Read OZBargainer post about 10am today.
    2. Printed Techrific advert for 256GB silver iPhone X for $1649 where it said it had 12months Apple warranty (more later!!)
    3. Went to OW at 4pm with printout to show for a price match plus 5%!
    4. Showed advert with price to first sales staff-he tried to look up advert price to verify.
    5. He fiddled with his iPhone for a while but didn’t seem able to do it so he referred me to sales assistant #2!
    6. Assistant #2 looked up and found Techlife advert but for some reason the Techlife advert now gave a price of $1664 with a 24 months warranty! He started to argue that it was then a different “product” and hence could not price match. I said only difference was that Techlike was offering 24 months warranty compared to just 12 months from OW. I said that I was happy with OW 12 months warranty. Note that my printout said 12 months. Tech life must have changed this in the previous few hours!!
    7. Assistant#2 tried to argue that it was not a valid price match and he referred me back to assistant #1.
    8. Back to first assistant who also wanted to deny comparison because warranty periods were different. I again said that I was happy with just 12 months warranty from OW. He said only manager could approve. I said ok let’s do it.
    9. I then went to manager and she did it with virtually no delay at all. She also forgot to add postage, so in the end I got it for $1566.!! Yay!!

    I am also doing a short trip OS in 57 days, so should get extra GST back.

    I consider myself lucky today that it came off like this in the end.
