Worth to buy the iPhone now?

Hi all,
Optus contract ends soon and I want to buy the iPhone X off contract/outright. Should I buy it now? Or wait? I already got a buyer for my current phone, so thinking of just getting it next week. Although am having doubts, any ideas?

        Because apple doesn't want to co-operate with government with blocking access, means apple isn't good company. So do not buy. That's the relevance he wanted to say.

          @TightBottom:

          I consider that a feature =)

          I have never considered buying an apple product, but their policy over not bending-and-spreading for the fbi earns them some respect

        • @TightBottom: There’s clutching at straws, and then there’s that.

          wrong. apple regard the constitutional rights of their us citizen more important than the us government's invasive spying practices. unlike google that will allow anyone with a badge to play with their os.

    • who cares bro. it's just a phone chillax.

  • No, better to buy it tomorrow, just relax for today and prepare for the match France vs Australia tonight.

      Agree. But tomorrow please read the above post again. better to buy it tomorrow not today. Repeat each day when you can't decide if it is wise to spend $1800 for a phone that restrict you to do for almost everything.

    • soccer is lame, though. I can't relax while watching soccer. I fall asleep

      • Each to their own. I think footy or cricket are more lame than proper football.

        • why do you live in australia then?

          Europe is that way ——>>

        • @smuggler:
          Because I want to. Same way you don't like football.

    • If only we won

  • Well, the apple announcement/release is probably 3 months away so you are buying nearing the end of release. I haven't heard much about the next iteration leaks except for the screen size and that it might have USB-C instead of lightning connector.

    apple products hold their value well. I would buy cheap where possible (you're an ozbargain member after all), then sell that and upgrade whenever you're ready by selling the X.

  • Optus has a 20% Family and Friends offer to discount on the plan. I was looking at it today, you can get a $110 per month for a 64GB iPhone X with 100GB data and 4GB data for use when roaming + unlimited roaming for call/text.

    Let me know in PM if you or anyone else would like a referral link :)
    I think it is available if it's a new service, which should include recontracting.

  • Wait. The X is most likely end of life, not to be continued. You're nearing the end of the cycle too, new phones will be released after the American summer.

  • Its entirely up to OP when he/she buys an iphone X.
    The price will always be lower in the future.
    The price will be even lower after a new model comes out.
    The price will be lower again after 2 new models have been released.

    The longer you wait, the cheaper it gets.

    But then one decides that the new model just released is better than the iphone X.
    So the process starts all over again.

    So if you really want the iphone X just get it.
