My wife smashed her iPhone 5 (digitiser) screen so she needed a new phone asap.

Bad luck as Apple had a price rise recently.

I searched online for Australian stock and the cheapest was $1199. Grey imports don't seem any cheaper and you may also get stung with GST + Duty as it's over $1,000.

Went to Knox City Shopping Centre last night after work, Harvey Norman $1,170, JB Hifi $1,160. Just for kicks I asked the Optus store if they even sold it outright and they did at $1,128 in the colour my wife wanted. I didn't bother asking the Telstra store next door as I was hungry and wanted to go home.

So there you have it, not a bargain, but a bargain for an iPhone.

Those who say you're getting ripped off buying an iPhone can go away, tell me something I don't know lol.

Unfortunately I won't be claiming the GST refund, as I don't know anyone traveling overseas soon nor would my wife want to be without her new phone.

    Thanks for your opinion. I'm sure iPhone users will consider your thoughts and consider a $45 windows phone when they need a new phone.

    Horses for courses.

    Everyone has at least one, what are your vices?

      You're welcome. When you're old and sensible, you'll think, 'damn, why did I waste all that money on a phone….'

        I'm sure you have a vice, otherwise what's the point of having money.

        @JB1:

        Lots of vices/pleasures. Always look for value for money. Can have more if it costs less.

        Im not saying cheap always mean value, though….

  I've previously booked in to see an apple genius after cracking my screen (on iPhone 5s) and got a 1 for one replacement for $220. It was $180 for the iphone 4. Did you try this OP??

    We'll fix it outside, prob for around $50 as the LCD screen is still good, just the digitizer is broken.

    But my wife wanted a new phone with more memory and you can still sell a iPhone 5 for decent money.

  It truly staggers me how incompetent ppl are with their smartphones. Not having a dig at anyone, just saying. My brother for example got an android phone 3 years ago and hasn't even changed what's on the home screen. Why would anyone use touchwiz on a Samsung when there's about 20 different launches on the android store which are way better? Use a different keyboard app, browser, camera, dial pad,text msg app, whatever u want.. the customization is endless, yet the vast majority don't utilise it. Why? Is it that difficult? I have no idea

  Its this reason the iPhone is so good, its one option for everything and it just works, with minimal effort, and its dummy proof

  Fwiw, I have a tcl s950, flashed with custom rom, and works as good as any phone, including an iPhone and costs a staggering 180 bucks

    Basically: "You're a moron, no offence".
