Think sources tell me that Kogan.com is easy way for warranty, also can you claim TRS on these imports? But im interested if anyone knows a good seller to buy from Ebay? Want take advantage on the discount going on.
Otherwise are there any retails stores(other than apple) still stocking lots of the 6S/128GB , or is it better value to look for 64GB since its discontinued?
Where Can Get a Good Deal on an iPhone 6s with Easy Warranty?

Thanks for answering my questions :) but found it similar priced at 128GB with Aussie warranty here - https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_blrs=…
Ahh sorry was looking at just 64GB. Yup had a quick check this seems to be a better deal but the sub-title and description are conflicting - one mentions in original box and the other states without original iPhone box :/
Also some feedback from what you linked indicate it may not really be Australian stock as advertised. This raises further concerns especially when there's conflicting info that it may not come in original packaging. If you purchase from them, I recommend you do the following:
- When you receive the iPhone, don't power it on. Instead go to https://checkcoverage.apple.com/au/ and enter the serial/IMEI number. For the 6s, you can find the IMEI number on the sim card tray. After you enter the numbers and submit, it should display "Please activate your iPhone".
- After you turn it on and setup the phone, go back to the same page, refresh and see what it says. It should display something like this with a warranty expiration date.. If not and it displays one of the following:
Consumer Law May Apply —> This means the 1 Year Apple Warranty has expired and it is under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) period. If this phone retains its front and rear protective factory peels, then it is likely this is a new re-manufactured iPhone which Apple provides as warranty replacements.
Consumer Law Does Not Apply (Int'l Purchase) —> Grey Stock phone originally from another region (i.e. not Australia/New Zealand)
Coverage Expired —> USA Stock and Apple warranty has expiredYou’re right, I got it from here - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/322520608144 since they have over 3000 Positive Feedback. I have sent them a message to confirm before cancelling but thanks for the helpful insight on the checking the warranty stuff.
Damn, one does wonder why they didn’t have it originally sealed in the first place, maybe stolen. Guessing that this was the last eBay discount they are having for a while
Anyone reading this know the next best place for iPhone 6s 128GB?
I did some research and if you're immediately after one, this seems to be your cheapest and safest bet: iPhone 6S 64GB Australian Stock Space Grey or Gold for $743 delivered using the eBay 15% off coupon "CRACKER" & CashRewards 1.3%. This however ends tonight in just 40 minutes.
Edit: Seller just responded, above^ is Australian stock and has full 2 Year Apple Australian Warranty from activation. You can also get it in Gold too, though best you purchase and then let them know via a eBay message.
I've asked the seller if this is Australian stock but didn't receive an immediate response. It's brand new sealed and network unlocked so regardless of grey stock or not, you should get at least 1 Year Apple warranty upon activation (that is how warranty works for most Apple products). If it's Australian stock, then you're in luck as you'll get 2 Years Apple warranty.Regarding TRS, you can only claim it if the invoice has Australian GST. Kogan obviously sell grey imports so there won't be GST.
If you're after the cheapest possible brand new iPhone 6s, I was able to find was at $692.50 iPhone 6S 64GB Grey Stock available in multiple colours here however this stores feedback isn't the best (e.g. some customers received their phone opened) so I wouldn't really trust them. If it were me, I'd always pick Australian stock over grey stock.
