Just saw this deal at Amazon. The iPhone 13 Pro Max 1TB also have the same 15% discount.
CamelCamelCamel.
You can clean the traces of faeces with alcohol wipes. It’s quite easy.
used iPhone 13 after 3 years may have a regraded battery
Apple robbery
Bargain is a stretch for a phone at this price point.
Worth $1000 at best
Is it really a bargain?
Although I can kind of see why people would opt for such outrageous prices, given that most android phones have been quite poor in quality and nasty.
People commented on this deal so far have not + voted this deal, so what do you reckon?
We'll see how retailers deal with their current iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max stock. Amazon AU probably is pushing Apple to do a sell. It's up to Apple as Amazon don't let store stock for Apple for free.
given that most android phones have been quite poor in quality and nasty.
You can get an S22 for half the price and use whatever portable USB-C SSD you want.
You can get something better than this at half the price in Android land.
You buy this for the same reason you buy a Louis Vuitton bag.
No, it's not a bargain. A good use of the downvote feature imo.
With 2k, go for 14 pro with less storage
Say you need the storage?
What an absolute bargain for a year old phone.

It's your money. Spend it as you wish. But there exist perfectly serviceable phones at a tenth of the price and for a fifth of the price you don't have to make too many compromises.
Same with any product class - there are diminishing returns. The sweet spot is in a different place for different people depending on their requirements. Then there are premium tier products depending on income, tax arrangements, etc.
For me, I'm generally in the $600-$1200 price range. Between phones (dead phone -> S20FE), I used a $100 Nokia 2.3 for about 2 weeks. It was largely fine for much of what I did. Obviously there were compromises such as camera quality, no NFC, no 5ghz wifi, speed, ram.
People need to keep in mind that this is OzBargain, not OzFrugal.
iPhone 12 Range FTW 😉

Nice! Cheaper than my 14 Pro 512GB
Can anyone show me a genuine workflow that requires a 1TB iPhone?
The only situation i can see for 1tb is maybe if you are a video blogger using phone to record , otherwise i see no relevancy in a tb drive
Family with kids, especially when they have a newborn.
Trust me the 2K/4K video recordings will fill up 1TB within 2 years at most.
Is anyone really going to watch that all back? In 4K? Not sorting through photos and videos kind of shows capturing all of them is futile.
I've always wanted to watch a snotty toddler tantrum in 4K with Dolby surround.
Not sure about keeping that much data over years on your phone… Better off backing it up to your pc as well as a cloud drive…. I don't think it's the best reason to buy a 1tb version of a phone imo.
Just to add, I have 3 kids so I get the concept… Just don't see my phone as a repository for vid n pics I find important… I auto backup everything to one drive and then auto download to home pc and back the pc up to nas 🙂
Give me your credit card, I'll get it and give you a full report afterwards.
Jokes aside, it is easy to fill 1TB, especially if you have been in Apple's ecosystem for a while. Not just photos and videos, music, TV shows, movies, apps. If given 1TB storage, we won't hesitate to take 4K videos.
Agreed. That's why I said 'genuine workflow' rather than 'frivolous use case'.
Not mine. Travel video/photographer copy all videos photos to their phone.better to have the extra space that have to delete things.
Wow, that's like puting BMW X8 engine into Mini Morris & paying the price of almost X8.
On Androids (Note 10+) you can extend to library 1TB micro SD (or any size combination) &/or add via USB-C 3.2 fast Samsung T5/7 up to 2TB (for now)
Next year's iPhone will have USB-C so you can do the 2nd option cheaper than this (128GB + external) with much better internals :)
Why would anyone buy this..
The average wage in Australia is now approaching $80k, so $160k for a household. Too many middle class people going up in life and that is why you need $1 million to buy a 30 year old 3 bedroom house in Mt Druitt right next to the highest class of public housing bogans in Australia.
Objection, relevance
Cor blimey, that's a lotta ackers for an old rag and bone.
Guys come to dynamic island. 100% worth it.
The water's fine!
Never understand who pays this money for a phone and follow ozbargain at the same time. Ozbargain isnt a deal website, it is a shopping website.
Exactly right.
I’d say this isn’t really a deal considering if you buy 10% off HIM/HER GC’s at Coles you can get the 14 Pro 1TB model for $150 more after discount.
Along with that surely nobody is using 1TB on a phone these days. My 13 Pro had 3,000 songs and 1,500 photos with plenty of apps and still was only around 60gb of use. 512GB 14 Pro @ $2024 would be a better deal still.
You cannot only do the OZB way for iPhone 14 Pro and not do OZB way for Amazon. OZBers would get discount Amazon gift cards (up to 6%) + exchange as many Amazon gift cards using their Microsoft reward points (Bing searches, XBox Gaming). They will also use a credit card which gives them most reward points (either the card reward system, Qantas or Virgin rewards) when purchasing discounted Amazon gift card(s).
Still a rip off
Not really a deal. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite SE with a 1tb microsd is less than half the price of this
The Xiaomi isn't really a deal when you can buy a second hand Android, OTG cable, and 1TB HDD for less than half the price.
It's a decent phone from last year with 1tb storage. It's perfectly comparable. That said the Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G would be a good alternative yes. This is ozbargain right? Not Oz-iPhone?
OzBargain, not OzFrugal
@stephendt: https://nanoreview.net/en/phone-compare/xiaomi-mi-11-lite-vs…
My god. You seem to upvote high end PC parts. Based on a preliminary look at these numbers it would be like recommending a celeron with integrated graphics in place of a high end CPU and graphics card.
@ihfree: That's the 4G version, the 5G has a more powerful SOC. It's more like comparing an i5 to an i9. The i5 is probably fine for 99% of people.
Also its less than half the price.
not a deal for you and it should automatically not be a deal for everybody right?
@stephendt: Yeah, but you're a vocal minority who doesn't apply the rule evenly. The deal is popular enough that people are getting value from it. It also meets the definition of a bargain. You're not changing minds.
A good start would be to stop the hypocrisy - Go downvote anything beyond what 99% of the population needs - flagship phones, Samsung Folding phones, branded clothing, SLRs, high-end headphones, premium alcohol, high end hardware, etc.
@ihfree: Except those things are genuinely worth the money for someone who wants something unique or premium. Last year's iPhone for over $2000? Sorry, that's not a good deal, and better alternatives exist. It would have to be around $1500 or less before it would start to make sense.
@Hornpub: it is an opinion. you can just disagree and move on, or try to convince that person the otherwise with your arguments.
Thanks op. Bought 10
Yeah, nah. I'd never use a second hand phone. There's no way you could clean a device to my standard.
