Cheapest Way to Buy iPhone 15 Pro Outright

BarnacleButt on 01/10/2023 - 21:07

Now that initial pre-orders have come and gone and I missed the ultimate gift card bargain, what is the cheapest way to buy an iPhone 15 pro 256gb?

Currently using an iPhone XS Max. Going overseas in the second week of November, so am due for an upgrade, and will do the TRS tax refund.

What is the cheapest store to buy from with stacking gift cards etc?

    Far as I know, they’ve gotten a lot more strict on this

    You must declare any goods you bring back to Australia, for which a TRS claim was made by you or another person when the goods left Australia.

    Happy to be proven wrong by a recent traveller though

      Forget the tax refund, if iPhones are cheaper in Brazil or whatever then that's a good saving.

        But then you get 1year warranty vs 2 year local in Au..

      That will provide $310 on trade in at Apple. Would an XS Max 512gb sell for more cash?

    Why do all of the iPhone 15 posts appear as humble brags?

    • Buying $2000 phone
    • Heading overseas
    • Gifting to a friend
    • My new EV has apple car play

    Etc etc etc

    • Wiadro on 01/10/2023 - 22:12

      which EV do you have?

      Dude's currently using an XS Max - would be more of a humblebrag if he currently had an iPhone 14.

      Not a humble brag at all. I was providing context of my needs and timeframe, as most places need to pre-order but I want to know which place to either buy gift cards for and pre-order through. That’s all.

      I don’t want to spend $2000 on the phone, hence asking for an ozbargain approach. Not gifting to a friend, and I drive a crap car 👍🏼 thanks for the reply Muzeeb.

      A $2000 phone is a pretty humble thing to want imo. Computers used to cost tens of thousands of dollars, so 2k for the world's best pocket computer seems entirely reasonable to me for anyone who has a job. You use it every day, for most it's the only camera and video camera they own and carry. And the primary media consumption device. Why not get the best, you only live once. 2k for the best of something, we should consider ourselves so lucky. In an alternate universe chips and displays never reached economy of scale and only the super elite own them.

        This is why you complain about having no money.

          At least I can complain on my iPhone Pro.

          • brendanm on 02/10/2023 - 17:50

            @AustriaBargain: End result is the same as if you complained on a cheaper phone, except you'd have more disposable income.

            • AustriaBargain on 02/10/2023 - 19:15

              @brendanm: If i had more disposiboe income I’d just spend it on iPhone Pro anyway.
