    36 month plan? Wth? That's like three iphone releases.

    • -1

      Im considering it as i don't buy a new iphone every release and the 17 looks like a great leap from my 14. Will wait to see if JB matches it and throws in gift cards

      • -8

        base model to base model won't be a great leap. even a 14 Pro / Pro Max would be a greater leap than a base 17. i recommend going for the 17 pro or pro max (depends on your size preference) if you plan keep your phone for the longest time

        • +8

          This just isn't true. The base 17 is going to outperform the 14 pro in every way. The only thing the 14 pro has going for it is an additional camera. Otherwise the cameras in the 17 are better, it's going to be more performant, and the screen is going to be better and brighter now that the base has the same 120hz LTPO screen as the pro models.

        • +2

          basically the only difference between the 17 pro and a 17 base is the camera

        • +1

          there is more upgrades in the base model from previous base models than there is going from a pro to a pro.

          maybe read the specs?

        • Sorry I got a 14 pro and the base 17 is an upgrade with no zoom availability. I’m also considering it.

      • +3

        Stick with your 14, you won't notice much improvements unless you need the latest and greatest for bragging rights.

    • +1

      TBH phones are so incremental now that I've gone from upgrading every 2 years to every 3. I just get a battery replacement after year 2 and it feels good as new (mentally anyway)

      • +1

        I'm doing every 4 years now that Android get years of OS upgrades too.

      • Yeah my 15 is still on 88% battery after two years. I think I might extend to a 5-year cycle now. Replacing the battery isn’t such a bad idea anymore. Gonna wait for air 4.

  • +1

    Works out to be $41/month if you deduct $1400 for the phone which isn't too bad

    • And how much data we get with that ? International calls inclusive?

      • +2

        150GB/month
        International calls are not included

    • +1

      I’m so confused. If I want to get an iPhone 17 pro max 256gb. How much am I going to pay a month along with the mobile plan

    • $69 $800 off 24M works out like $35/m

      • is this plan only for 256GB size?

        • No, you can pay difference for any model in 17/air range

      • I think you made a mistake, $800 off is for 36m plan not 24m. 24m is only $500.

        • No mistake, that is for a gift card.
          $6
          $800 off iphone 17 range on $69 24M

  • +3

    What's the cancellation cost?

    • Your life 😅

    • Interested to know!

      • +4

        $2472. No wonder these aren't popular.

        • +8

          Incorrect. $2472 is if you cancel immediately. If you do this then you need to hand in your OzBargain membership

          If you cancel after 4 months, it’s only $1264, which I guess that’s what most ppl may do. So out of pocket is $1264 + ($79 x 4) = $1580

          • +2

            @BargainsGrabber: Huh? So it's correctn't? But anyway $1400 off for out of pocket $1580 is still bad. Full details

          • @BargainsGrabber: How do you work this out?

            • @TheFreaK: It’s in the attached link above under Maximum plan cancellation fee after 120 days

          • +2

            @BargainsGrabber: Wait I’m confused. If I wanna get a iPhone 17 pro max 256gb. It’s $2197. Deduct $1400 (as part of the deal). Which equals to $797. Then cancel after 4 months which means I need to pay 4 months of $79 dollars and the cancellation fee. 797 + 1104 + (4 x 79) = $2,217. So I technically if I wanted to save money on the phone + mobile plan Ive achieved that. But if I wanted to just get the phone at a cheaper price by itself this is not the way. Are my calculations correct?

            • @wes0110: Yup yup, your calcs are correct, but mashmallow2 referenced the $2472, which I believe they took the cancellation fee if terminating early

          • @BargainsGrabber: I don't think it's possible to cancel after 120 days before paying for your 5th monthly installment. Please advise if I'm wrong if anyone else has experience with Optus plans.

    Also available at officeworks in NSW and some VIC stores, FYI

    • is it the same deal ? can you please share link ?

    • is this plan only for 256GB or it can be 512GB or 1TB, thanks

  • At Apple Store, is Vodafone plan $69 36 months with $1399 phone off still available?

  • +5

    $69 over 24 months would be a deal.

    • +1

      Agreed. And as much as everyone hates Gerry Normal, I think they've been dishing out the goods vs JB Telstra in recent times if you talk about phone plans.

    • That's only for Android devices

    • $69 24 months for iPhone 17 deal is $800 discount
      $69 36 months is $1100 discount

      Ends 31.10.25

    My iphone XS Max still works fine.

  • 95% of iphones will have cracked screens by the end of the plan

    • +1

      I’ve probably had 10 iPhones in my life and have never cracked a screen. I don’t understand why people are so careless with them.

  • +1

    this seems like a terrible deal vs just buying outright and going with a cheap plan.

    It's not even a backdoor to getting a cheaper phone since the cancellation + the 4 months will be more than the phone is worth.

    It might be a go-er if you get your access charges reimbursed by your employer, but that's the key to everyting in life; get someone else to pay for it.

  • Wild that people are still hoodwinked by mobile phone contracts…

    HODL

    they pulled this 36 month garbage with pixel 10 release as well, but lo and behold the good 24 month plans popped up for a few days just after release.

    If there's anything to learn with HN plans these days, if the deal is running for a couple of weeks then it's not the best deal - the real good stuff is 2-4 days only.

    • +1

      100% agree. Think we'll see the exact same scenario.

      This offer will be on the table from now until the end of September. Then Grand Final weekend (26-27th) they'll boost the offer for the last days of the month with 36 months / $1800 off or 24 month $1400 off.

      • Hope so!
        How do they profit off these deals?

    • i’m not sure about it with iPhones, as alot of the telco deals are funded by the manufacturer aswell

  • +1

    The following is also available for iPhone 17 range
    $800 off on $69 24M
    $1100 off on $69 36M
    $1400 off on $79 36M, or $99 24M

    • Hello, where is this info on the HN website? I can see $69 24M, $500 off.

      Also are these only for customers who port over from another carrier?

      • These offers are only advertised in store, offers are available for either new phone numbers or any phone number not on Optus postpaid

    • So with the $99 deal on 24 months for an iphone 17 Pro base model. How much are you out of pocket by if you cancel after 120 days?

      • $990 cancellation fee after 120 days

    • By any chance that Optus would match with Vodafone offer( 24 months*$69 with $1000 off)?

      • We have $69 $800 off 2y, won’t match

      • where is this Vodafone deal advertised ?

  • Also 10% Gift Cards back on any Windows 11 Computer, now till COB Sunday

  • Just hope they don’t do network upgrade when you have to make 000 calls https://www.news.com.au/finance/business/optus-reveals-three…

    Optus death after vodafail. .. Optus getting worst with outages.

  • Am I understanding this deal correctly, it is better than the Telstra trade in bonus.

    $1400 off on $99 24 month contract.

    99 x 24 = 2376 - 1400 = 976 / 24 = $40.66 a month.

    I can then put the $1400 toward a 17 or pro and still trade in my current iPhone elsewhere.

    Telstra ongoing plans are more expensive and Telstra reception is nothing special, any thoughts?

    • Yes, We also have changed our trade in partners to Assurant (not to be confused with Asurion), Assurant legitimately are giving better values than mobile monster sometimes so have a look there too

  • i don't really get a good reception with optus where i work. I am on telstra right now, and they offered me a $20 credit/month on the $99 plan. Does anyone know if optus can do the same ? If i sign up to optus $99 plan, is there a chance they might give me a discount on the monthly plan ?

    This deal STACKS with the 10% Gift Card running till COB monday

  • So 2K iPhone get a $200 gift card on top of the $1400 gift card?
