XS has been this price at JB for more than a month. XR at the same price is not even a deal at this point.
I assume the extra small is tiny but?
No no the XS doesn't stand for Xtra Small :)
The XS is the higher model and the XR is the lower model. The XS Max is the bigger version of the XS. These letters don't represent sizes, instead just representing which are the better and cheaper models.
Sizes:
XS - 5.8"
XR - 6.1"
XS Max - 6.5"
I guess my attempt at a joke failed.
@PainToad: Yas. The lack of English or a simple ':)' sorta ruined any chances of the existence of your joke
I bought an ex demo iPhone XS from Kogan for $800. It was in great condition except for a faint squiggle scratch on the screen, but you can't see that with a screen protector. Battery health was optimal 99%. I was going to get the XR or 11 but I dunno I kinda like the OLED/HDR screen. Battery life on the XS isn't anything to boast about but I already knew that before I ordered. If I wanted battery life I'd have bought the 11. I'll probably upgrade to whatever pro phone they come out with November this year anyway, if the virus doesn't cause shortages.
Also the XS is the perfect size, the screen is bigger than the old 8 Max but the phone is smaller, it's amazing. XS Max would be too big, I'd only get that if you really wanted a 1080p screen.
Yawn. Just another dime a dozen big w sale with the same bloody specials as always. Also the XS is way better a purchase at $999 over the XR
i was about to whinge its been ages since homebrew stuff has been on sale but apparently its 20% at the moment. better make a trip in to stock up
Thanks for the heads up :) I need another few cans of coopers pale ale.
apple should have discontinued XR model instead of Xs.
XS would dig into iphone 11 sales
Yes. That is true
Based on ????
The Xr was the biggest selling iPhone of 2019. Why would you
Want to discontinue your biggest seller.
I agree that the XS is a better phone in most aspect and it would be
My choice of the two but maybe the bigger screen and longer lasting battery
Is why the Xr is so popular.
No it was popular because it was cheaper than the XS in 2019, also the bigger screen on the XR is not a OLED like the XS and it has a lower pixel density than the XS. Camera on the XS is way better as well.
you're dreaming, they will discontinue all the x, if they haven't done so already, stopped making the xr for couple of years and resurrect them at 'cheaper' price when the 111 pro is release.
Why "should" they do that? Care to explain how that would have benefited them?
Xs has steel frame and OLED display which are expensive to produce. Apple can’t cut the price by all that much without ruining their margins. XR is much cheaper to make.
Flash sale but starts in 2 days. I believe that is a planned sale.
I guess that makes it a Flashy Sale. It got our attention at least.
Guesses as to the storage size of the XR? My 7 is still doing fine so not asking for myself, just curious.
64gb
Is the ipad a good buy? or should i go with android tablet like the much cheaper Lenovo m10?
depends what you plan to use it for. if you are really just planning to browse the net/watch youtube/etc and don't care for ipados, the performance, enterprise support, optimised apps, etc… then just get the cheaper tablet. That being said, I've bought non Apple tablets before and always regretted them for one reason or another.
I have the original iPad air, I was told iOS 12 was less bloaty but my scrolls were never smooth after that update.
Considering I have the 16GB all these years (mostly as a stream, browse, checking email) it's done me well. Compared to most Android tablets available, I prefer the ratio of the iPad.
But if you're going for 7th Gen ,if you can find 6th Gen for cheaper or with the larger storage capacity, you're better off getting that since accessories would be cheaper and it's the same processor anyway. 7th Gen is just a 0.5" upsize + smart connector (for an Apple keyboard).
And if you're getting cellular, it's currently cheaper to buy it on a 12 month plan at Optus than it is buying it all rrp.
Same processor but less ram. So the newer model will still offer better performance, especially as newer updates come out. With my Air 2 the lack of ram (2gb) is noticeable with ipad OS. Hence why the choice for Apple to increase the 7th generation to 3gb. Buying the newer model should give you an extra year of support too. Just stuff to consider.
Very strong rumours of Apple releasing SE2 in March. Latest processor in iPhone 8 chassis. Worth waiting.
There were also strong rumours of an iPad Pro update last year. But that never happened.
The google home mini (not mentioned here) is $79 at Big W but currently at Office Works at $39
The officeworks one is showing up as $143?

Would love to get it for $39 but that seems to be Home Mini at that price :(
Read the comment again.
Google NEST mini is $79 at Big W. It's upgraded compared to Google HOME Mini at Officework (which is EOL). It has better sound, you can hang it on wall and supposed to have onboard Google Assistant for faster command, and RRP is $75-$79 almost everywhere. Whether that justifies the difference in price I can't say, but you are comparing the wrong product.
Plus you can get the NEST Mini with Mirabella smart plug combo for $69 at BigW https://www.bigw.com.au/product/google-nest-mini-charcoal-mi…. Officework Google NEST Mini is $75 https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/google-nes…
XS is $999 at jb. Much much better phone.
