          Technology is not allowed to die in this household. If it breaks it mostly gets lived with or repaired (except if it's a mac book pro that wants $1000 for a second hand screen)

            @Joejoeinc: Eventually, technology dies or becomes outdated.

            My iPad 3 (purchased in 2012) is really struggling these days. I replaced the battery a few years ago, but that's now on its way out, and it's hard to justify another battery replacement. So many apps just don't work on it anymore (because it's stuck on iOS 9) and those that do are becoming increasingly sluggish.

            It's only 13 years old (the same age as my Mac mini that is still going strong thanks to OCLP), but it really feels like it's time for a replacement.

      Higher prices in USA = less demand… so more supply for Australia (should) = lower prices

        Should tell Sony about it for their PS5 pricing.

        • Zythyx on 01/05/2025 - 10:07

          Sony are increasing their PS5 price in smalller markets to subsidise the tariffs in USA - jerks

      • bleeder on 23/04/2025 - 18:04

        Not sure that's true as I believe they have large amounts of stock, would take probably a year for us to start getting savings. I could be wrong though.

      • skidexa on 23/04/2025 - 20:27

        Yep kinda like when china stopped importing our wine and lobster. Higher supply was dumped here at low prices

    • FutureTech on 23/04/2025 - 14:29
      +10

      This is imported from China so not impacted. Our free trade agreement with China means that any Chinese goods are duty free.

      • Save 50 Cent on 23/04/2025 - 17:38

        Yeah not directly impacted as in cost per unit sold here but if there is more supply (due to less demand in USA) then lower prices makes sense. But probably won’t work like that especially with big brands.

      no 11th gen dropped to $199 US dollars on sale according to an article I saw. at first 10th gen 64GB dropped to $199, then this new 11th Gen 128GB dropped to $199 soon after.

      • utsc on 23/04/2025 - 17:35

        Can you please link to the source (article)?. Did a quick search but could find any such info

        • n3ck3ntry8bort0rgasm on 23/04/2025 - 19:17

          I can't remember the page. I literally read it (US article) then checked local prices, and saw it wasn't on sale. closed tab.

          but I read it about a week ago, on a tech blog type website. basically 10th gen went on sale first for $199, then there was a "Update" text added to the top of article with timestamp/date, that "now the 11th Gen A16 128GB is on sale for the same price of $199". all I remember is the update text was inside a border at the top of the article.

        • n3ck3ntry8bort0rgasm on 09/05/2025 - 21:06

    Great iPad - i've had it for around a month. Perfect for what I need. I have access to apple employee pricing so paid slightly less.
    Non-laminated display didn't matter to me, and to be honest I couldn't even tell the difference in store. I was looking at the iPad Air also, but it's no way worth an extra $450.

      Won’t be much of an upgrade for you. I have an iPad Air 256gb cellular that still serves me well. I might upgrade but not sure if I will as I have too many tablets! I just got an alldocube mini 60 turbo which has been my favourite devices besides my iPhone.

    Question - would paying with gift cards impact the ability to claim TRS or tax deduction as a business expense?

    • FutureTech on 23/04/2025 - 14:32
      +2

      You should be OK for TRS purposes. Tax deduction is technically based on the amount of expenditure incurred (ie how much you paid to buy the gift cards as opposed to the nominal value of the gift cards used to purchase the item), so the amount of deduction you can claim may be impacted.
