I was on the lookout for an iPhone 5 for work, so it had to be Australian stock with a tax invoice (and payable via AMEX)

Mobile Made Simple in brisbane city have the iPhone 5 64GB on special at $899 (save $100 on retail). This is an instore price.

They are Telstra phones but are not locked (I am using Optus) and says they come with 24month Australian warranty.

Very happy with mine as cheapest I could find locally.

Kogan is grey import at $929 + shipping (no tax invoice - possibly no Australian warranty)

    Isnt iPhone 5S release just around the corner or is it just a rumor ?

      It's rumored for a September release, nothing offical. Though the previous iphone releases were

      1st gen: June 29, 2007
      3G: July 11, 2008
      3GS: June 19, 2009

      4S: October 14, 2011

      Not sure. But I needed a phone.
      Plus whenever a new iPhone comes out they are very hard to get, and discounts are unheard of.

        True, but with a 28 Degrees Card you can claim back any price drops within 6 months (even on Kogan stock)

        • modsec802 on 03/07/2013 - 19:21

          They never drop in price (RRP
          is still 999), it's just you may find them negotiable later on.

        • RockyRaccoon on 03/07/2013 - 21:13

          Plus you did say you wanted AMEX purchase so the 28 degrees card is irrelevant

        • modsec802 on 03/07/2013 - 21:16

          Yes, I used a corporate AMEX. Interestingly, every other apple product we get discounted via work- except iPhone.

    • -.- on 03/07/2013 - 19:18

      nah it would be almost certainly be around Aug/Sep, cycle's almost over and they'll officially release ios 7 in conjunction with new devices

    • gimli on 03/07/2013 - 20:49

      i think your thinking of the nexus 5 which is due just around the corner and a bit.

    It's currently listed @ $947.00 on the site you have the deal linked to
    I also note the description says 24 month manufacturers warranty - not sure where that comes from as Apple offer 12 months only (yes I know about the unsubstantiated claims they will honour 24 months)

    • modsec802 on 03/07/2013 - 19:20

      899 in store. It was on special.

        That's not stated in your post on the deal - and the link is to a different price than you quote

        If you put "Pickup Only" it would have been clear that to get that price you needed to visit the store - ie not available online

          I never stated delivery but have made it extra clear. Thanks for your valuable feedback dog

      Is that really worth a neg?

        I thought so - I guess others will make up their own mind and rate it accordingly
        At the moment you're the only person who has voted positively

        After you changed the title to reflect the correct deal details I revoked my negative vote

    Australian Apple iPhone 5 64GB $899 - free Pick up Brisbane City

    Free pickup is included, that's pretty good.

    • modsec802 on 03/07/2013 - 19:41

      Some places charge a processing fee for pick up - particially ebay

  • ozhunter on 03/07/2013 - 19:53

    Under the Package Contents Tab it says

    Network Lock Unlocked
    Warranty 12 Months Unique Mobiles
    Condition Brand New
    Stock Import Direct

    • modsec802 on 03/07/2013 - 19:56

      Yeah, that's weird. Because it was sealed with Telstra packaging, and I already registered and checked the warranty on Apple's support coverage site and it says it's fine.

      So I think that must be a misprint.

      I doubt they'd bother selling a grey import here with GST - when Kogan etc simply ship them from o'seas to avoid GST.

  • Bodogbodog on 03/07/2013 - 20:18

    $909 from Unique mobiles for Australian stock @ http://www.uniquemobiles.com.au/mobile-phones/apple/apple-ip…
    $899 from Unique Mobiles for Import stock @ http://www.uniquemobiles.com.au/mobile-phones/apple/apple-ip…

    Maybe this shop is linked to Unique Mobiles in some way?

    • modsec802 on 03/07/2013 - 20:42

      not sure, but Unique Mobiles don't appear to offer pick up and shipping to Brisbane is $26 standard insured. Which sorta kills the deal.

    $900 for an almost one year old soon to be replaced iPhone and ppl still think they are getting a good deal o_0

    • modsec802 on 09/07/2013 - 14:20

      Not $900 My work provides it

      So $900 - $80 GST = $820

      minus 38.5% marginal tax = $504

      • ozhunter on 09/07/2013 - 23:49

        That's good for you, but for most people who can't claim GST back on it, it is $899.

  • aussman on 04/07/2013 - 15:26

    pretty poor deal for an outdated soon to be replace phone - who pays $900 for a 1 year old phone lol

    • modsec802 on 09/07/2013 - 14:20
