To Buy or Wait till Xmas iPhone 12 Pro Max 256GB

Hi Ozbargain folk,

I am looking to purchase a new iphone. This will be my very first iphone and its going to be a gift for my wife during the Christmas/New year time. .

Not looking to sign up for any plans, as I am happy with the Kogan prepaid pack with enough data..

Was waiting for decent deals to come up on the iphone range for Black Friday/Cyber Monday but none have come through so far. Realised through other peoples comments that Apple don't really offer any discounts generally during these sales times. But I am wondering if there is a time during Christmas, that Apple normally reduces their price ?

I would love to hear some feedback from Apple users as you might be aware of their trends.

I understand that this has been a tough year for everyone, so not really expecting a huge offer/discount but didn't want to miss out of any potential offers that might come through in December.

Cheapest I could find so far for the 256 Pro max version is in Costco for $1,949.99 and JB hi fi for $2019

Thanks in advance,
Sunny

    Best bet is either buying discounted giftcards, or grey import one (do your research on this though)

    +1

    The best discount you would get (that I can think of) is using the discounted HIM / HER gift cards from Coles (if you can find any) for 15% off at JB Hi-Fi (Ends Tuesday?).
    $2,019 -> $1,719
    Plus a port in offer (e.g. $99 Telstra + $800 Gift Card (ends tomorrow)), cancel, pay the ETF ($594), go back to Kogan. This brings it down to $1,633.
    If you can't get any gift cards, you'd still be saving $206 (~10% off) doing the port in offer.

      oh thanks for those options. Really appreciate it.

      Do you have a link for that HIM / HER gift cards from Coles ?

      I'll check it in google as well.
