  Wow. Good price I guess. I think the only issue it will be the battery health and how much/many life cycle in there.

    It says battery 85% minimum

    • 

      Femelo on 02/07/2020 - 20:01

      Yep but if you get the ones with 85% already iPhones normally kills 5% every 6 months or 10% in a year. And you a stuck with a very slow phone.

          @Daabido: After the battery drops above 80% iphone 8 still pretty powerful compared to a lot of phones.

      My 2.5yo iPhone 8 is at 83% now and there's noticeable difference compared to a new one - ie. not only the battery lasts less, down from eg. 10 hrs to 8 hrs, but also I don't want it to go down eg. 5-10% anymore, because it can switch off anytime. I still get 1% sometimes and I manage - it's not as bad as with 3rd-party batteries when after 6-12 months I wouldn't trust it when it's below 20%. When it was new, I was confident using it at 5%.

      But this is just a hint, I'm still OK with that. It's been 2.5 years after all. Now waiting for the newest iOS to turn it into a completely new device.

      Hello. We apologize our deal did not meet you expectations however the deal you were referring to was not for an outright purchase of an Iphone 8 plus. You have to first sign on to a plan and then cancel it.

      We apologise once again and hopefully the next time we post a deal it would meet your expectations

      Kind Regards

    Hello. Not at the moment as the iPhone 8 plus is in short supply due to the pandemic but we do expect to get more stock and then launch a promo for fellow ozbargainers.

  question: lets say i get one with 85% battery and in 6 months it goes below 80%. at this point can i take this phone to Apple store to replace the battery?

  • 

    bouncybear on 03/07/2020 - 17:27

    You can always take it to Apple to replace the battery. They have pricelists available online. Apple won't replace the battery in this phone for free.

  ghaniyo on 03/07/2020 - 18:34

  @bouncybear thanks for the info. i think you are referring to this page for pricelist, right? I thought they do not touch any iPhone that has been opened by third-party repairers.

  • 

    bouncybear on 04/07/2020 - 13:36

    I wasn't aware of "they do not touch any iPhone that has been opened by third-party" rule, but if the iPhone 8 here is "as new", I'd assume (and I'd confirm with the seller too) it hasn't been opened.

    If it has been opened, it potentially is not sealed anymore and not waterproof, like it should be.

      @bouncybear: Thanks again for more details.
      @Cellmate, can you confirm that i can go to Apple store to replace the battery?
      Also ‘as new’ condition of the iphone means, it’s never been opened, is that correct?

        Hello.
        The physical condition of the device is as new and the battery health is 85% and above.
        The 1 year warranty is thorough us and not Apple direct.
        We buy large quantities of devices but do not open the handsets if its not required and have no way of knowing that the handset has been opened in the past before reaching us.
        We are confident of the quality and hence provide the 1 year warranty. Any fellow ozbargainer who has bought a handset in the past from us through any of our deals would be able to vouch for our quality of products and customer service

        Kind Regards
        Cellmate
