on clearance, down from $429 to $399 and now $379

in-store only

there are still some @ Officeworks punchbowl and LEWISHAM store,

call them to confirm before you go.

unlock is so simple, go to unlock.telstra.com, enter your IMEI which on the box, and your phone being unlocked.

UPDATE:

As people reported that telstra no longer provides free unlock via the link above.

I marked the deal as expired

STOCK LEVEL CHECK may not work properly,

I checked the stock level Thursday night when it was still online, it showed punchbowl and LEWISHAM store had stock.

From friday, since it's been offlined, stock level became no stock now at stores above.

I called punchbowl store this morning and can confirm they do still have many, so don't trust checking in stock, just give them a call to confirm

      that's not right one, its not listing on the officeworks website now and you have to find them in store.

      from the link i provided you still can see it $379

    Officeworks Lewisham has them still for $672 in-store, and these are bundled with Telstra sim

    • [Deactivated] on 29/10/2017 - 17:08

      If you called the store , asking transfer you call to tech department. I was told $672 as well, after they transfered my call to right person, I got the right price.

      They should promote the price in store as well

      • Lucifersfury82 on 29/10/2017 - 17:43

        Had the same problem initially as they were scanning the actual phone opposed to the SIM card attached. The phone will scan at $679, but the sim scans at $379.

          Yeah they did that when I bought one over a month ago, scanned the phone and it came up as $499 then they worked out scanning the sim gave the correct price.

        • dealhunting007 on 29/10/2017 - 21:14

          They did same couple of months ago. It comes with $30 sim.

    • Associatedobit11 @ Officeworks on 30/10/2017 - 01:10

      yeah wrong barcode. pretty sure we got explicitly told about that. perhaps that pos person missed the trick.

  • adrianhughes1998 on 29/10/2017 - 16:34

    Officeworks are always useless for stock levels. Every time I've tried over the years they've been incorrect (usually not there yet it says it is).

    Anyways rant aside, great phone I picked one up from Harvey's for 399 and free unlock with telstra. Ripper deal when you think it has the 6s internals and camera.

    • giventofly on 30/10/2017 - 10:02

      Does it not share the Touch ID from the iPhone 6? Which is noticeably slower.

      • adrianhughes1998 on 30/10/2017 - 12:19
        +1

        Yeah it doesn't have second generation touch ID. It is slower but not enough to scratch my eyes out. Silly that every other cheap android phone out there has a snappy fingerprint reader yet they can't do theirs.

        • deadpoet on 30/10/2017 - 21:32

          Yeah it doesn't have second generation touch ID

          Really? The fingerprint recognition on my SE is way faster and more accurate than on the iPhone 5s. The speed difference can't just be down to the faster CPU, right?

  • ce5himm on 29/10/2017 - 16:36

      To be perfectly honest, I only checked my postcode Thursday night, and I found there were two stores around had stock.

      no.

        On iPhone you can configure the flash LED to flicker in accessibility settings.

  • Associatedobit11 @ Officeworks on 29/10/2017 - 19:13

    Yeah not much stock around. From memory theres a bit around Sydney. Punchbowl had a few. Liverpool etc as well. Wollongong didnt have any.

    • dm01 on 29/10/2017 - 20:36

      Are these meant to be brand new? I picked up one from East Kew this evening (their last one apparently), have just got home and opened it and it's obviously not a brand new unit - the box wasn't sealed, the protective plastic the phones are normally wrapped in wasn't there and there are fingerprints all over it, charge cable has already been unwrapped, charge adaptor has marks on it etc. Pretty annoyed about it to be honest - sales person didn't say anything about it being a demo model or anything.

      • [Deactivated] on 29/10/2017 - 20:46

        Mine is brand new. You should put yours back and ask for refund.

        BTW, why not check and unlock in store before you go back home.

          a) It was five minutes before closing b) I don't normally open things in store, and without any reason to think this wasn't brand new…I had no reason to open it in shop and check it's brand new. One of those 'you don't know what you don't know' type situations.

    • zzyss on 30/10/2017 - 16:13

      Probably cutting down on models available in the product line. Apple has gotten increasingly worse from the early Steve Jobs days. It used to be the current model iPhone, and the model before. Now it's SE, 6S, 7, 8, X… so much room for price overlap, making for confusing choices, as somebody else noted above.

    Thanks OP, pick up one at Officeworks Campbelltown, stock was clearly marked @ $379.00.

    Argh any new SE users help please.

    I tried to upgrade from a 5S to the SE, admittedly a used 64gb off ebay.
    It's intolerably slow to wake!

    Next to the 5S, the screen takes ages to light up when you press the home or on/off button.

    Does anyone else have this? Both are running ios 11.0.3
    It's slow enough that I'm prepared to ditch the rest of the SE benefits and just flip the phone :(

    • [Deactivated] on 30/10/2017 - 19:27

      I myself just downgraded from iPhone 7 Plus. A little bit slow than ip7p but still quite smooth running and yes the phone with ios 11 as well

      • Hoju on 30/10/2017 - 19:47

        It's fast in general operation, it's just the unlock / screen wake is slow.
        Really weird and frustrating, I was really looking forward to this phone!

        • [Deactivated] on 30/10/2017 - 20:33

          Mine’s not. Quite quick to home screen when unlock the phone. Might be slower than ip7p. But thats only 0.1 seconds difference.

        • Hoju on 30/10/2017 - 20:44

          @John Kelvin:
          Thanks for letting me know. Weird, are you on the 11.0.3 update too?
          Reportedly that may have been rushed out and is a bit buggy

        • [Deactivated] on 30/10/2017 - 21:19

          @Hoju: yes, got the latest ios 11 update. No problem at all.

    • deadpoet on 30/10/2017 - 21:35

      It's intolerably slow to wake!

      Yeah that's not normal at all. Try doing a full restore to factory settings if you haven't already done so.
      If that doesn't fix things, maybe you got sold a lemon.

      When I upgraded from my 5s to a new SE, it was like night and day. The SE is so snappy and overall damn nice that it's put me off ugprading to the iPhone 8/X etc for at least another year or two.

      (And yes, I'm running the latest iOS 11.0.3)

      • Hoju on 31/10/2017 - 05:43

        Thanks for that. I’m wondering if it had a third party screen replacement. Will check it out at Apple and send it back if so!

        Alrighty well I took it into the apple store and they ran diagnostics
        All the sensors (GPS, acceleromter, compass) were faulty.

        They opened it up but couldn't see any mods

        —> free replacement phone!

        NOW it's fast.
        And shiiiiiiny

        Got to love Apple. This is literally the 5th or 6th free replacement I've scored under their warranty thing.
        All have been dodgy used ones bought on ebay that have had issues.
        Loyalty pays off I guess…

        • deadpoet on 01/11/2017 - 12:19

        That was a one-off thing by way of "apology" for being out of stock of some other Sony phone at that price, I think it was? Doubt that should be considered an official discount benchmark for this model as it's unlikely to be repeated.

  • jasperdmx on 01/11/2017 - 01:02

    Got one from Officeworks Punchbowl today, $379 include $30 Telstra prepaid
    not sure if this already unlocked or because I did unlock request from this Telstra web: https://unlock.telstra.com
    Now works well with my Vodafone sim
    I guess this would be the last iPhone with 4-inch screen, grab while you can
    You can get cheaper than $379 if you have Coles Staff discount and be able to resell the $30 prepaid sim :-)
    But for me, this is bargain since I'm not a fan of "big screen" phone and also the hardware inside this same as iPhone6 (hatchback car with V6 engine :-)

  • mastereric111 on 02/11/2017 - 11:31

      I had no problem at all.

      you don't even need to open the box, just enter the IMEI from sim pack or box @ unlock.telstra.com

      you will be told it's being unlocked.

      • mastereric111 on 02/11/2017 - 12:32

        I did that and i got an error msg. So i didn't buy it just incase it won't unlock as the staff at officeworks said.
        :-(

        • [Deactivated] on 02/11/2017 - 14:15

          it's odd.

      I think, Officeworks does not know about this, they only sell stuff
      Apple does not allow provider to "temper" their phone with provider software like they did before
      Remember, Nokia phone when you turn on, you can see Optus greetings screen or Android phone with Optus screen
      So the only way to lock iPhone via Apple, and to unlock also via Apple
      I dont think Apple will spend time to investigate what is your plan, have you pay or not, etc
      I guess, when someone submit request to Apple, they will unlock right away
