    Thanks lovbargain I will put that in the item description.

  • Good price, shame they haven't got other models too.

  • +1

    is this covered by apple here in Aus? or considered a grey import like kogan etc?

    • +1

      Bought several grey import Apple products from Kogan and some other Hongkong online store, claimed warranty twice from local Apple store, no issues.

  • I would contact the seller to make sure.

    12 MONTH WARRANTY BACK TO THE SELLER

    looks like grey import to me

  • Don't Grey Imports have Apple warranty for the first year though? I have contacted the seller to clarify and will update when they reply.

    • Yes

    • Unfortunately no, any grey imports have to go back to country of origin.

      • +7

        bs, bought iphone 5s from Kogan and Apple store high point fix it no questioned asked

        • I called Apple Care and told me what cloudie9 said. They search for the IMEI number and if it's been sold in a different country, the warranty won't cover it.

        • @magedhorse: just make a booking through genius bar and turn up at the store. Worst case scenario is they've updated their policy, last time it happened to me was a year ago.

  • +4

    I contacted the seller and they replied quote.
    "The product is direct from Apple suppliers in Asia as this is how we source our products Apples warranty is not international anymore. Go figure. So with any warranty claims we support this as we have the facilities here in Sydney to service the product if need be."

  • A positive is the seller has been established on Ebay since 2010 and has 99.9% feedback.

  • +3

    why do they even release 16gb models? I'd snap this up with 64 but 16 come on..

    • +5

      They can be sufficient for a lot of older people and others who don't fill up the phone with big apps or too much music.

      • +2

        this isn't true. i bought a 16gb for my folks thinking that would be and overkill, then they went wild with taking pictures and video…. so yeh 16gb no good imo.

        • +4

          @chillwok It is true. I said it "can be sufficient for a lot of older people and others" Note I didn't say all. But yes 16Gb is too small for a lot of people as well.

        • +1

          they went wild with taking pictures and video

          This is the problem. I never keep my risque pictures and videos on my phone.

          But in all seriousness. I have a possible 5 of a 12gb usable space free on my photo. I could fill up my phone with another 1200+ photos or mp3s. If someone is taking a lot of videos they would also quickly fill up even a 32gb phone. People should be backing up their content and removing what is not required every now and then.

    • +2

      The same reason they still offer 5400rpm drives on their base iMacs.

  • 16GB will drive everyone mad!!!

    • +2

      i think the standard should be 32gb or sdcard slot if less.

  • It's actually an 11GB iPhone SE, not 16GB.

    • +1

      Do you say the same about every laptop, phone and tablet, or do you reserve this for Apple products?

      A shame 16 GB still seems to be the standard for devices, it's time we make the jump to 32.

        Apple is the only multinational phone manufacturer persisting with 16GB high end phones. So yes, my comment was primarily aimed at Apple.

        • +2

          Not true. What about Huawei, Lenovo and Xiaomi? They all have high end 16gb phones. These companies combined have approx 20% of the global market.

        • @4agte: Xiaomi isn't a multinational company. Lenovo's flagship phones are only upper mid-range, and Huawei's flagship phones have 32GB baseline storage (for international markets).

        • +1

          @Chateau: The iPhone SE isn't a high end device. Perhaps find a 6S/6S Plus post to quench your thirst.

        • Xiaomi is a multinational company. They sell to several Asian markets. China and India being the biggest.

          If you are going to consider this a high end phone then so is the Lenovo K5. Besides the iPhone having a better cpu the k5 has better specs in everything else.

          There is also the Nexus 5p. Comes on 16gb and has a Snapdragon 808.

          Having a look I would now agree with your Huawei comment

        • @4agte:
          Stop arguing guys, a friend who works for apple marketing told me that its a marketing trick to make sure you purchase the 64gb version not the 16gb version considering the high def camera shoots in 1080. You won't be able to survive with the 16gb. End of argument, nothing to do with Apples' ability to offer 32gb, they are more than capable.

        • @Christy Bambi:

          But I can survive on 16gb and so can many others. The same shoe does not fit everyone. But thanks for telling everyone not to argue, giving your opinion and then letting others their opinions are wrong - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/3932723/redir

          An iPhone photo is no bigger that 3.8gb in size. I already over 1gb taken up in photos and still have 5gb free. I still have room for a further 1300+ photos or mp3s before I run out of space. My argument is based on maths, not marketing.

        • @4agte: This phone uses Apple's A9 processor, has 2GB RAM, and a 12 MP, f/2.2, 29mm camera. That's as high end as Apple phones are spec'd to date. Xiaomi is a Chinese company so of course they would sell to the Chinese market. Selling their phones within the Indian market does not make them a multinational company.

        • -1

          @Tolga: This phone shares the same hardware specs as the iPhone 6S.

        • +1

          @Chateau:

          Of course it does

          Multinational - An enterprise operating in several countries but managed from one (home) country.

          They operate in China, India , Malaysia, and Singapore, and is expanding to other countries such as Indonesia, the Philippines and Brazil.

          @Chateau:

          Also add the USA to that list. They have an agreement with Amazon

        • -1

          @4agte: Try buy a Xiaomi phone in a store in America, Europe, South America, or Australia and you'll soon find out that you can't. Call them a multinational if you insist.

        • +1

          @Chateau:

          Yeah it must be terribly hard for any yanks to log onto Amazon

          But you keep on believing multinational has to do with people speaking English. They are the 3rd biggest smartphone manufacture in the world. I have list 8 countries they have markets in and I'm sure there are more.

        • -1

          @4agte: I'll cede that they are an emerging multinational to placate you but they are not a multinational company because they have no substantial presence outside of Asia. European, North American, and South American telcos do not offer their phones and they have no bricks-n-mortar outlets beyond China.

        • +1

          @Chateau:

          I'll cede myself. By your definition google are not multinational either. Being multinational has nothing to do with being bricks-n-mortar.

        • -1

          @4agte: So if I get an ABN and sell t-shirts on eBay I can call my company a multinational? Sounds fancy but it ain't so.

        • +1

          @Chateau:

          If I'm talking to a brick wall does that make you a multinational company? I can't be bothered anymore but tell me when all the economics books update to your definition of multinational.

        • @4agte: Thanks for the chat, enjoyed it.

    Apple warranty is worldwide….not sure why others here are saying it's not. You get 12 months warranty worldwide and 2yrs if you purchase local stock (Aus consumer law).

    • Apple says iphone is not.

      • Incorrect. Where does Apple 'say' this?

        • http://www.apple.com/au/legal/statutory-warranty/
          Apple may restrict service to the country where Apple or its authorised distributors originally sold the Apple product.

        • +1

          @lovbargain:

          This has been inserted for legal reasons however rest assured this does not apply to Australia (I've also had three iPhones within the 12 month warranty period repaired and/or swapped out that were originally purchased in USA, Hong Kong and the Phillipines respectively (first two from Apple Stores and last from authorised reseller).

        • @MrMaxwell:
          thanks for sharing.

  • I would say the value of this deal is better than previous doggy eBay refurbished iPhone 5C.

    Shit, really annoyed I missed this. Anyone know any similar deals?
