    I literally just bought one 2 days ago, reckon Apple can retrofit this deal for me or should I do the old swap dies and refund it and buy another one ?

      14-day return policy on basically anything purchased from Apple even if opened. As long as it's not damaged. Just return it and buy another. They can use the return as a credit on the new purchase at a store if you don't want for the refund to go back to your original payment method.

    • vchoy on 01/08/2022 - 18:51

      yes just return and get another one.

    Rumours that there may be a new Apple TV released later this year, though, no details, and may just be a spec bump. Great deal otherwise.

  • conza on 01/08/2022 - 18:12

    Ok so, this is, pay $249 or $279, and get a gift card for $70, for free.

    This is not, get $70 off an Apple TV, because that would be too good.

    Anyway, if you buy from Apple often, or were planning to buy something else from them AND this, sure, can't find anything better online really.

    • SmokeyTheCorgi on 01/08/2022 - 18:57

      How would this work? This deal only works if you buy from coles but the Apple TV discount only works via apple.com.au or in an Apple Store?

      • BargainsGrabber on 01/08/2022 - 19:15
        +2

        You load the Apple gift cards onto your Apple balance and select that payment method at checkout

        At the same time, you can also use ShopBack for additional 5.5% cashback (if the upsized hasn’t ended yet)

        • alamodey on 02/08/2022 - 21:18

          i think the 5.5% cashback ends in about 2-3 hours

    • theoscat on 01/08/2022 - 19:23

      but then can we still get the 5.5% from shop back if we're paying with apple GC?

      • BargainsGrabber on 01/08/2022 - 19:45
        +1

        SB didn’t state in their “Dont’s” and if it’s the same like CR, I would assume it’s safe to do so

      • sys2061 on 01/08/2022 - 19:49

        Seems like it might work:

        Will I still qualify for the regular store Cashback if I use a gift card to pay?
        In most cases yes, however, some stores will invalidate your Cashback or calculate Cashback on the amount after gift card usage. If the Cashback is affected by gift card usage, this will be explicitly mentioned in the individual store’s terms and conditions.

      • ckwatsydney on 01/08/2022 - 21:31
        +3

        There is no harm trying to stack both.

        Even if the 5.5% cashback doesn't work, at least you'll get the 20x flybuy points, which weighs more than the 5.5% cashback.
        If they stack, it's good.

        • alamodey on 02/08/2022 - 21:19

          don't think the stack will work because the 5.5% shopback ends just as the coles deal starts

        • jimbobaus on 04/08/2022 - 02:09

          Apple will deny the cashback if they give you a gift card.
          They have never paid cashback on gift card promotions.

    I’m being serious - I’m a massive apple fanboy - but isn’t an Amazon firestick 4K max just better value when they’re on sale?

    • SmokeyTheCorgi on 01/08/2022 - 18:24
      +8

      Better value yes, but your experience is ultimately determined by how entrenched you are in the apple ecosystem. If you are, the Apple TV is probably a better experience.

    • RaihaX on 01/08/2022 - 18:25

      whats the plex experience on the firestick 4k I was tempted on the amazon prime day sale but then quick research mentioned a few issues with them.

      • Detrimental on 01/08/2022 - 19:16

        I’ve not had any issues with Plex on my Firestick 4K max. Can’t compare it to the Apple TV as I don’t have one, but it’s far better than the app on my Samsung TV

        I have an Apple TV 4K, and got a Firestick 4K Max recently.
        The biggest issue I found is that the Firestick cannot direct play TrueHD and will transcode it. Everything else seemed fine. This was using the official Plex app.
        It's a seriously amazing value little device.

        • RaihaX on 02/08/2022 - 09:54

      If you’re a fanboy and have AirPods this is a serious game changer. Spatial audio works, I can switch to my phone if an incoming call comes and it pauses the tv automatically, control pause play from AirPods.

      • EkJatt on 02/08/2022 - 17:11

        In what regard? Only 2 things Apple does better in my opinion is screensaver (too many options) and you can play games that are well designed. To be honest I have to setup Plex recently to test out things in depth. E.g. where Alexa / fire tv is better. Connect dot with fire tv and say “Alexa play x on youtube.” Works like a charm. On Google you have to say “youtube video” and start with “hey Google”. I don’t have Apple dot products so Amazon set all the way. Surely Amazon is selling my data somewhere. When I rate smart device, fire tv #1 price and quality, Google next then Apple good quality product but highly priced. $40 fire tv vs $280 Apple TV. Feels aauch.

    • sinners007 on 01/08/2022 - 21:07

      I despise Apple, you could call me an anti-fanboi… But the Apple TV is my favourite device at home. My firesticks have been relegated the the bedrooms. You can't compare the experience between the two. The only advantage the firestick has (other than price) is Kodi.

      • [Deactivated] on 01/08/2022 - 21:50
        +1

        I find infuse to be better than kodi although it is paid. Mrmc is also a option and is a kodi fork (and also paid), but I’m not sure what the support for plugins is like if that’s what you’re after

        • sinners007 on 01/08/2022 - 23:13

          Kodi add-ons and the work done to support them, makes it an elite product, even if it's a little rough on interface.

          However, Apple TV for most people, as a streamer cannot be beaten IMO.

    • entropysbane on 01/08/2022 - 21:15

      Well, price has its own delights, as my mother would say.
      You could also say same about chromecast.

      However, those devices are much more limited. The nearest equivalent is the Shield.
      Now whether it is worth three times the price is a question only you can answer.

    • NoshTwin on 02/08/2022 - 14:23

      The Firestick is definitely better value, but I think if you have the extra $$$ to throw around the Apple TV is a better experience. If for no other reason than Apple TV apps tend to get better developer support than basically all other operating systems.

      Depends on if you want to use the ATV AppStore. It is much better. And then there are the apple services if you access them.

    • 2024 on 01/08/2022 - 22:21

      Depends if you need TrueHD with Atmos? Shield.

      My biggest annoyance is that YouTube on the Apple TV only appears as a casting endpoint from the iPhone App while it’s running on the AppleTV - with a Shield it’s always there whether it’s on or off.

    I'm a big Apple fan but this is the only product I have returned. Its remote was awful compared with the original and the software integration at the time was suboptimal for skipping around Kayo. It might have improved, but I still didn't find it useful.

      and the software integration at the time was suboptimal for skipping around Kayo.

      To be fair, Kayo uses their own steaming pile of shit interface for navigation instead of the Apple one, which makes it near impossible to skip and move about when watching anything. It's made me go back to the high seas for my F1 fix because they made the AppleTV experience so awful.

      Not to mention that Kayo don't allow AirPlay so I can't stream the audio to my HomePods which I use as TV speakers.

      Owning both Google TV and Apple TV I can safely say, once you go Apple TV, you won’t go back. I would suggest you to check it out, where you can compare both side by side. Google TV UI is a lot slower and gets frustrating when I use it once in a while.

        We've been mainly on the HBO Max recently.

        Are the DNS settings set per profile or the device?

        Could work well, as we find ourselves switching between US and Aus versions of services some times. I might give it a shot.

        Cheers

        • Pricebeat on 01/08/2022 - 20:55

          Are the DNS settings set per profile or the device?

          Device wise. If you have something like Getflix then the DNS settings only apply to the apps and regions set in your Getflix account. Rest of the apps run as default Australian region.

          Could work well, as we find ourselves switching between US and Aus versions of services some times.

          This method will be set and forget. Just run the app and ready to go. You won’t even have to be on US profile.

    (I do not remember exactly when but I know it was in the last 5 years.)
    Wife wanted to buy a new iPad. Good news was there was a promo and, if I remembered correctly, if we buy an iPad we get $20 voucher which we can use at an Apple shop.
    Before we bought it, I asked the Apple sales lady if I can convert the voucher into iTunes card. She said no. The voucher can only be used to purchased in store items, like charger, cable, case, etc. Wife and I shrugged, oh well. So we proceeded with the purchase and the same lady handed us the receipt for the iPad. Next, she handed a docket for the $20 voucher to me.
    "Is there anything else I can help you," she asked.
    I handed back the $20 voucher she gave me and I said, "I want to buy a $20 iTunes card."
    "Ok," she said and she gave me a $20 iTunes card.
    My wife walked out of the Apple shop that day totally confused.

    • tp0 on 01/08/2022 - 22:09

      It supports lossless but it resamples everything to 24/48.

      Hopefully they enable some kind of bit depth/sample rate switching to support up to 24/192.

      • Windfall on 01/08/2022 - 22:33

        Yes, Apple TV 4K currently doesn’t support Hi-Res Lossless (sample rates greater than 48 kHz).

        • tp0 on 02/08/2022 - 10:55

          You didn’t say Hi-Res. You just said lossless in your original post.

          24/48 ALAC is still very much lossless and likely more than adequate for everyone except the most golden of golden ears. The bigger issue is the resampling that takes place.
