      RRP will show as $749 on the receipt with a $550 credit applied to the final price. This is covered by Telstra I would assume. This is based on my past interactions with JB with similar deals

      • coxymla on 24/04/2020 - 09:42

    Could go the 24 month contract, buy the 256gb version for $500 (as you get $500 credit towards a phone that's $999 or above).

    Gives you 80gb of data a month, but it really depends if you want a long contract like that or not.

    hope this helps others to decide.

    • klonky on 24/04/2020 - 09:55

      These deals to get in new customers are obviously not translating in to better share prices for Telstra.

    • ozeebee on 24/04/2020 - 10:13

      Sales numbers are counted towards new customer not existing customers. It's very unfortunate but it's how all these businesses operate. We as consumers just need to be more savvy and play the game better than other consumers.

      • LittleTicket on 24/04/2020 - 11:42

        But it actually costs more to acquire new customers than it does to retain existing. Yet companies persist…

    • bajirao on 24/04/2020 - 13:58

      Doesn't financial reporting also includes # of customers (which will show higher number if there are more new customers to show)? That would make the company look good which translates to more fat bonus for execs.

    • nikoris on 24/04/2020 - 15:19

    Don't know if this applies to all, but the A13 processor is underpowered in this phone to maintain the battery life.

    Still a good phone though..

    • MementoMori on 24/04/2020 - 11:24

      Interesting. Surely still even too much power, probably good idea for battery life.

      Maybe it will be unlocked in iOS 17 when we'll need it!

    • Wonderfool on 24/04/2020 - 19:09

      Doesn't really matter. It's still an a13. An underclocked version of it is still gonna be on par, if not better than the Snapdragon variant. Add that iOS apps are generally better optimised too, and you're good to go for a few years.

    • Scrobo on 25/04/2020 - 10:21

      It's still crazy fast, faster than what is needed on a screen this size really.

  • Simbooo on 24/04/2020 - 10:00

        Am I right in saying I can buy a $1 sim, port that number in to get the deal and then cancel afterwards- paying a total of $580?

          +3

          You are right.

          Plan cancellation is $390. Plus you are paying $199 for the handset. Plus your dollar for the sim :)

          You are saving $169 from the RRP of the phone ($749)

              You could port out to an other provider and port back, but I have heard that Telstra have a one month limit from porting out to porting in to be eligible for these offers based on some comments I have read on similar deals in the past

        • netsurfer on 24/04/2020 - 10:06

          Used to be the case, but nowadays Optus and Vodafone insist you do a recharge before activation can complete for a SIM with $0 value. Aldi SIM may not enforce that (since it is on Telstra network) and interestingly Aldi seems to be allowed.

          No one had a clue why it happened and it took 6 months to get my score back up, I guess that's the only control these mobile companies have to stop people from porting out.

            @tryingtohelp: I would say it's more due diligence than for stopping people from porting out, since these are postpaid not prepaid. If they didn't take these measures, you'd get people blaming telstra for not taking measures and allowing them to scam telstra.

      • b3au on 24/04/2020 - 11:07

        Whenever you sign up for a new postpaid service with any carrier, a credit check is done.

        (you may get lucky if you're an existing customer and they do an internal credit check, rather than pinging the bureaus and leaving an enquiry on your file)

    • niknikniknik on 24/04/2020 - 10:42

      Their systems request an update to your credit file to check your credit history prior to enabling a new postpaid service. Especially of it's a new account. Each time a credit rating request is done it increases your credit risk according to the systems they use, but more so if done numerous times within a short period of time I think. Ex Telco sales staff here 🙂

    • Exorcist on 24/04/2020 - 10:46

      I found that they may do a credit check, and it could affect your score if you don't pay the bill, but what happens if you cancel the plan?

      • b3au on 24/04/2020 - 11:08

        Makes no difference - an enquiry will still show on your file that Telstra made an enquiry - whether or not you cancel after a month or 12 months, they still check when you become a customer.

            This is a great phone for my SO who uses services like google photos to sync and back up content.
            She's destroyed a couple phones in the past so if anything, greater storage capacity is a risk factor rather than the incentive to constantly sync/backup.

        My wife's on an iPhone 7, 32GB, and as far as I know, we're in the same timezone, year 2020. It works. All her photos are uploaded to iCloud.

      • MementoMori on 24/04/2020 - 12:08
        +1

        'Cloud'… yes and no.

        I thought the same thing with my 32GB 6S, but in reality things worked out different. First, you only get 28GB usable AND iCloud Photos integration MOSTLY works nice, but many times I get 'error communicating with iCloud' when I try to attach photos into Messenger or an SMS. Not to mention whenever you want to upgrade iOS it needs 'update x2' space free, i.e. 3-6GB, so I do have to offload apps, put them back on, delete audio books and shuffle other stuff… a pain for a heavy techie user like me.

        Been on the phone to Apple for ages trying to fix it. Summary was that when iPhones have barely any space left they do weird things (makes sense).

        So yeah 64GB would be great for Mum, and would probably be just barely enough for me, but given I listen to lots of audio books, take lots of video and don't want to have to shuffle storage and want some future proofing I don't think it'll be enough.

        It's a pity as this 64GB deal is great.

        It's almost like they deliberately want to lock in the Mums and Dads to a $65 plan they forget to downgrade from…

    Wow, this would have been great for me. I ordered outright directly from Apple, amid COVID-19 I suspected JB Hi-Fi and others may be delayed in getting stock. I did call my local JB last week, and they said they had no idea when they would come ( I was going to use their $700 voucher deal with 24-month Plan).
    So currently waiting for TNT to deliver my handset. FYI I'm on an Optus $36 plan from 2017 30GB and out of contract.

    I had a $50 apple store voucher from ways back i found and used.

    by my calc (64gb) $699 Handset + $36/month

    Vs $199 + $65/month

    Over 1 Year $1131 vs 979 - $152 ( $202 ) saving (not including my $50 gift card) with this deal.

    Over 2 years $1536 vs $1759 - I'm better ahead in the long run

      I'm also on the Optus $36 plan and tossing up whether to get this deal. Think I'll wait till the outright price drops.

        Mine current SE 64 gb only started playing up a bit. The phone randomly trying to lock and shut down. - almost a physical top button short circuit. But yeah it had an amazing run sadly I can't wait to upgrade.
