It's Apple. They charge what they feel like.
@Maths Debater: Samsung et al. are not exactly babies to just āfollow suitā - theyāre all maximising profits with their pricingā¦
I mean, no one is happy to pay $2200 for a phone (not that you have to, there are cheaper options from all manufacturers!).
This āApple is the root of all evilā is getting old after >decadeā¦
@Maths Debater: You can bet that if Apple makes a phone where you can it up your ass and it comes out your mouth as a cool feature, Samsung will follow suit and do it as well.
@centrelink: Apple removed the included wired headphones, then the headphone jack, then the charging brick. Low and behold, so did the rest. Apple fanboys will never admit that though because they're too busy drinking their love juice.
The Pixel is particularly egregious charging $2.2k for a rubbish 4nm Samsung fabricated SOC.
Samsung do the same.. or have you forgoten they sell 3000 dollar samsung phones as well?
That's exactly my point, because they copy Apple. Do you remember how the iPhone X saw a significant price jump and everyone lost their minds?
@Maths Debater: you mean apple took a risk to maximise their profit, the ācompetitorsā instead of gaining the edge just profiteered with the hope of the gullible just blaming apple for starting it?
Why Apple charge less when they know people buy them anyways? Apple do have a fomular how to charge extra $200.
Did you just wake up from a long sleep?
so how does this work exactly you just show officeworks the price on costco's website and just get 5% off?
Yes.
ok so a 256gb model max would be about 1786 :)
@Maths Debater: the price match worked at office works with the 5% beat but it was a pain the arse lol they take so much time to do it, it was not funny …… but i walked out with a iphone 16 pro max 256gb for 1785 finally…. after 30 min of waiting for them to do it lol.
@kungfuman: Congrats mate! Excellent price. Yeah, it can be quite annoying, particularly if the staff member can't distinguish between their arse and their elbow.
@Maths Debater: now its time to salary sacrifice it so I get tax off and 35% off total more off the price :D
Yes
same as last year for the 15… where have you been?
Blink twice if someone is holding you at gun-point to buy an Apple product
yes it is ridiculous the world we live in rn
There is plenty of $100-$300 phones. Top end phones are all $1500-$2500.
Do you have to have a Costco membership to price beat at Officeworks?
Depends on the store. They're wildly inconsistent. Best bet is to contact the Officeworks hotline.
Would vary from store to store and employee to employee.. people have had different experience.. some stores have asked to see membership while some have just been successful with them opening the website on their devices.. and some stores have refused to price match altogether..
Sorry I couldn't give you a concrete answer.. it's truly a YMMV situation here..I have just bought at 16 Pro via the Price Beat Hotline - they beat Costco - didn't ask for membership.
Price matched at officeworks this morning, a little pushback from the staff at first but eventually came through.
You would be pissed if you just price beat JB š
Who is legit paying this month for a phone?
What's wrong with May? On a more serious note, most people go on plans. Not everyone buys outright.
Going on a plan, you're still paying for the phone… and an overpriced plan.
Depends how savvy you are. JB are giving a $1000 GC on the $99 plan. Sign up then cancel. As for the rest of the population, they don't look at the entire cost of the plan, they look at what they can afford per month. I say this because l used to work for Optus and Telstra. But I understand your point, which is different to mine.
Well yes, you pay off the phone monthly within the plan. Not everyone has $2K to purchase outright.
i bought 3 so yeah, little gutted
$320 for an extra 256gb lol
Tempted, my day 1 , 14 pro is on its last legs , wanted to wait for 17 but maybe canāt wait that long. Might try out 16 max
Thanks for sharing
sharing is caring
How is a 2 year old iPhone on its last legs?
Gonna say.. my 14 Pro even with 81% battery life is still alive and kicking.
This. I have also have a 14 pro since it came out and does everything i need. if it's the battery life, then that's a $100 dollar fix.
Yeah that makes no senseā¦ I had an iPhone X for over 6 years and it never even got to that point
Nah I mean i dropped it heaps and the battery is also stuffed
Sounds like a skill issue then
My son is rocking my old 12pro 4yo phone with no issues still
I am using the 12pro max and tried to convince myself its no good anymore but failed
Why would you go back for more punishment if it's on its last legs after 2 years?
I bought the 1tb for 2099$ from the last costco deal šš
Wow. What deal was that. ?
the last costco deal
I got from OW for about $1991
How does getting it beat at officeworks work? What will it be
256gb $1879.99 - 5% = $1785.99
Call the Officeworks hotline.
gutted I bougth at 2k
You've already chosen to be ripped off buying an iPhone does it even matter
Buying something that works is not being ripped off. Buying something useless and paying $1500 is being ripped off. I bought 3. Because it matters to have a working phone
How about Americans paying assuming $4k after Trump tariffs?
@bcYield: Apple will just increase the price globally to offset the tariffs. Apple does not like arbitrage where someone can go to another country and get their products cheaper. So everyone will need to subsidize
Got the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max 256GB for the wife, thanks OP
Get JB to price match Costco 256gb @ $1879.99
Then sign up on their $99 upfront plan, which includes the $1000 gift card which is used as credit toward the price of the phone.
In store:
$1879.99 - $1000 = $879.99
You will need to sign up on their $99 plan upfront = $879.99 + $99 = $978.99Contact telstra and ask them to cancel the plan, you're looking at $733.34
Total cost will be $733.34 + $978.99 = $1,712.33
Yes, it's a bit of work to save $75 rather than simply price beating at Officeworks but I thought I would share regardless. Also note that you'll take a hit on your credit score.
Best worluld be to price match with Costco at OW then pay with the 10% off gift cards from Coles offer. Final cost would be $1607.40
I did that last year for the 15 pro max…. OfficeWorks were ok with it…. Don't forget flybuys with onepass…. I'm still getting $10 off offers on my shops at coles.
I hope iPhone Pro made in India will lower the price. It's crazy to pay for a bloody phone over than $1000.
It's not going to lower the price for customers lol
The cost of manufacturing has no direct relationship with how much Apple charges you for your iphone.
iphones made in india will not have same quality control and hygiene levels of the factory workers will be terrible.
Thanks for the tip OP. Got an iPhone 16 Pro 256gb for $1500 after price match at OW and buying 10% GC from Coles :)
Are you referring to the ultimate gcās at coles? How did you buy more than 5 gift cards from them? And you exchanged about 35 $50 gift cards?
My local Coles has 3 exits to pay, 2 x self serve and 1 x operator. I just went through multiple times with different staff helping me.
It was brutal at OW opening, removing glue, etc. but the staff were great.Mad respect, congrats
please share where you get those gift cards from and how. Thanks
Hi killabob. Which particular gift cards did you get from Coles? Was it the pro max version you got? Will try and attempt your expedition. Thank you!
$50 ultimate celebrate. No just pro, which is what i wanted based on size. Not too much more for the max if you like that size. You'll just need more trips to Coles…haha
JB not price matching Costco? Says it goes against their policy
Buy or wait for either of the following:
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
iPhone 16 Pro Max
Google Pixel 10 Pro
iPhone 17 Pro Maxbuy all to compare. make sure to share the comparison with your fellow ozbargainz
