A reasonable price for a good drone. Selling for an extra $150 excluding delivery at JB Hi-Fi.
Comes with free next day delivery.
This combo is like the Fly More Combo, but doesn't come with the charging hub, power bank converter, car charger or satchel. Thanks to debauched sloth for pointing this out.

Any special benefit buying from Apple apart from the price?
Maybe the Apple 14-day no question asked returns are covering the drone?
So you can bring it back if you don't like it.
It's an amazing drone :) so I don't think many would return it.
You can get the same package on ebay for far less.
Got a link?

There are several for $1625, $1429 from HK etc, throw in the 5% discount code and its even less.
Search EBAY for "mavic fly more combo"…
THey pop up all the time.
This is not the fly more combo, its the Alpine White Combo.
All mavic aircraft are the same just different coloured plastic, with the same mechanical parts. The FMC gives you a few extras like the charging hub which the AWC does not give. The only difference is the old FMC includes the old style propellers while the new AWC has the new style props which give 2mins more flying. YOu can buy the new style props for about $20 so all up the FMC + new style props is a far better deal than the polain AWC.
Hey OP, this isn't technically the Fly More Combo, it's the Alpine White Combo. It comes with 2 spare batteries and a sleeve, yes, but it does not come with the charging hub, power bank converter, car charger or satchel. While these may not be essentials they are useful and omitted from this deal.
That being said, this all white colourway is awesome.
Oh shit, thanks for pointing that out! I've amended the deal.
That's a significant difference!
Still waiting for a decent Platinum Pro Fly More deal if anyone spots one…
Any reason you specifically want the Platinum?
You can swap to the quieter propellers on the standard mavic if that is your concern. I have the standard mavic and I personally dont think the extra price is worth it. If battery life was your concern then the standard fly more combo is great when you have the charging hub and car charger and you are unlikely to get the extra 3 minutes in real world use anyway.
Props and longer battery life. The Pro has new FOC which also contributes to the noise reduction so its not just the props.
I'd far rather buy the latest version all together than buy the old version and then pay for upgrades.
YOu can buy the new style props for $20, which is far less thanthe cost of the Charging hub etc.
The FOC does make a difference but the props themselves make a decent impact from my test and what ive seen online. As for battery life most tests I see the platinum only gets about 1-1.5 mins extra life during hover tests. Personally I think the extra $100 would be better spent on an extra battery.
Use (search for) an Apple EPP link and you can pick the Alpine combo up from Apple for $1,483.90
This would be a good option, but you'd have to be a employee, former employee or affiliated in someway right?
anyone know if you can buy the mavic from the apple store using their finance ie. 12months interest free on $300+???
I'm thinking it's only on "APPLE" products yeah?
It should be noted that this is not the platinum even though it is a different colour.
