    RRP $1919 from apple website.

    Is that just for the iPad? Wow a phone and a tablet from Apple can cost you $4000!!

    • sequence21 on 22/01/2018 - 10:01

        Wow for anyone wanting this (personally I think RRP is a rip off), it's a great bargain! All those inclusions up there are basically free!

        Not for me though, iPads are outpricing themselves now and pretending to be something they aren't. I love my iPad but I wouldn't buy another.

        • asa79 on 22/01/2018 - 10:53

        • roller on 22/01/2018 - 13:51

          @fuzor: the laptop/mouse paradigm is so 80s. I think almost 40 years later it’s long past time to move on.

        • asa79 on 22/01/2018 - 14:15

          @fuzor: It has a pen, why do you need a mouse?

        • bchliu on 22/01/2018 - 14:54

          @asa79: Why wouldn't you? there's still many things that the mouse works better at and arguably more precise. Not to mention you wont get RSI ensuring your hand doesnt touch the screen. Yeah, it has wrist touch avoidance, but that is only an on app level if you configure it.

        • bchliu on 22/01/2018 - 14:55

          @roller: Doesn't mean the pen will replace this paradigm. How can you control it if you are further than an arm's length away? A mouse can drive a device even if it is not within physical arm's reach.

        • asa79 on 22/01/2018 - 14:56

          @bchliu: how do you find a mouse more precise then a pen?

        • bchliu on 22/01/2018 - 15:21

          @asa79: Calibration and parallax issues with certain devices and depending on how you use it (if screen / tablet is vertical), arm strain can come in unless you are using it flat on the desk and then having arm strain to avoid accidental touches along with eye strain at the wrong angles.

          I have been using Pen Technologies since "Light pens" from the 80's and up to now am an advocate for Galaxy Note series with the S-Pen and stylus. I can definitely say from experience that Stylus will never fully replace Pointer driven devices like a mouse or trackball.

          BTW. remember when Steve Jobs basically said "A Stylus for the iPad? Over my dead body?".. suppose he's rolling around in his grave now.

        • entropysbane on 04/02/2018 - 11:33

          @bchliu: I believe that was the iPhone and its OS GUI, not for specialist applications like drawing on a tablet.

          I actually think a mouse is a pointless addition to an iPad. It is designed and built in both hardware and OS software it only not to need one for input, but use a different interface altogether. Win10 tablets and 2in1s on the other hand, are using an OS really designed for the mouse and thus work flow can improve if you use a mouse as your input device.

          That said, the iPad DOES need in an integrated way, the ability to connect a range of other peripherals, like external drives, keyboards, networks, cameras, External displays etc which are all much more important than a mouse for the iPad to be a viable laptop replacement. These features need to be added.

        • bchliu on 04/02/2018 - 16:27

          @entropysbane: lol. Apologists reasoning for "why Apple didn't include the mouse support in iOS". Many Apps could benefit from the inclusion of the precision of the mouse versus fat fingers or even the RSI ridden Pen support? Don't forget, Apple markets iPads as a Laptop alternative.

  • Geryatric on 22/01/2018 - 10:09

      This is a monthly plan

    • BradH13 on 22/01/2018 - 11:01

      No. Doesn't matter if you pay the whole lot in one hit; you'll never see a full tax invoice from Optus, only monthly (if you pay the $1920 in one hit, you'll still be billed an invoice every month for 24 months, just the 'due' balance will be nil).

      You get a 'delivery notice' for warranty claims with devices on plans, not a tax invoice.

    • LurvinOZB on 22/01/2018 - 11:27

      Ok thx. Still a pretty good price I think

    • YLD1 on 22/01/2018 - 11:29

      Something cheeky I found out regarding receipts

      You can do this

      go online to the Apple store and buy the ipad and Choose click and collect at the apple store

      your card will be charged

      The next couple of days, you will receive an invoice from apple

      once received, just cancel the ipad order online and then you get the refund a couple of days later. you haven't picked up the ipad so there are no dramas and you have a receipt and an ipad

      NOTE: This is illegal activity

      • entropysbane on 22/01/2018 - 19:07

        Yes, fraud I believe.

    24 months plan - $32 p.m. for tablet x 24 months + $70 data plan for the first month before the cancellation .. for $838 you will get a iPad Pro LTE (64GB)

    $10 p.m. for tablet x 24 mohts + $70 data plan for the first month … $310 take a iPad Pro LTE (512GB) home .. something very wrong there ..

    (As stated on their website: Cancelling your plan is easy. Just pay out the full remaining cost of your tablet, including any amount Optus was going to cover."

    This is very risky for them … but good for customer

    • CDG on 22/01/2018 - 10:34

    • wayne7190 on 22/01/2018 - 10:43

      $10 p.m. is the tablet payment AFTER credit
      If you cancel you will have to pay the FULL repayment WITHOUT the credit so basically full RRP

      • OzYY on 22/01/2018 - 10:44

        Many years ago I was with Optus on their timeless plan … they let me go by paying the remaining handset payment only.

        • wayne7190 on 22/01/2018 - 10:50
          +3

          You can still cancel the plan by paying handset repayments but as I said you have to pay it without the monthly credit
          For example $50/m for equipment and $40/m handset credit - you would pay $10/m if you stay on the plan. But if you cancel you have to pay the full $50/m for the remaining months

        • OzYY on 22/01/2018 - 10:52

          @wayne7190: So we need to ask for the payment amount … just like the car loan?

        • wayne7190 on 22/01/2018 - 10:54

          @wingyan: as long as you stay on the plan it's only $80/m
          If you cancel the remaining full equipment cost is $77m I think
          You should check on the contract when you do it,it should say there

      • Boodek on 22/01/2018 - 10:46

        Yes - I think the detail is in this statement -"Just pay out the full remaining cost of your tablet, including any amount Optus was going to cover." You'll have to pay whatever Optus was going to subsidise.

        Ridiculously good deal though.

    • landroverz7 on 22/01/2018 - 10:52
      +9

      Optus outright Price for the iPad Pro 12.9 is $1848. (1848/24 = 77). The plan is $70 for 100gb + $10 Handset (after handset credit by Optus).

      On your bill it will show
      $70 Plan 100GB
      $77 Handset (24 out of 24 months remaining)
      - $67 Handset Credit
      $10 Total handset cost

      Total Cost $80 a month.

      When you cancel you pay remaining months x $77.

      I used to work for Optus, this is how it works on all plans.

      So in short this is an epic deal as long as you stay on the plan for 24 months, you are getting the ipad interest free and paying $77 a month for the handset, and paying technically only $3 for 100GB of data. Remember you can data share, so put your whole family on the $30 SIM Plans and go crazy with the data!

      • clandestino on 22/01/2018 - 18:46

        When you say "put your whole family on the $30 sim plans" - do you mean, buy 1 x $30 Sim plan per family member? Not sure I can see where the savings are, with your idea?

        • landroverz7 on 23/01/2018 - 01:10
          +2

          It was just a suggestion, every family will be different, But what you can do is get this deal, sell the iPad on gumtree for lets say $1600 cash. So 1600/24 = $67 of cash towards your bill, so total bill will be $80 - $67 = $13 a month for 100GB of data. (This is if you have no interest in the iPad). And then a family of 4 x $30 sim plans = $120 + $13 (100GB) = $133/4 = $33.25 per person. Every person gets 112GB/4 = 28GB. If the parents don't use that much, the kids can smash the data ;) But the main point is this is approx $13 for a 100GB data sim, and create your own bundle that suits u

    • jeppetto367 on 22/01/2018 - 10:53

      You can't do this, there is a device credit of $67 per month unfortunately.

    • bozbargain on 22/01/2018 - 11:48

      Thanks for the detail. If one were to use the monthly invoices to claim this for work as an expense as part of a $80 mobile phone allowance, does the monthly invoice indicate that it’s a data/tablet plan in any way? Eg the words iPad, tablet etc?

        That's what they support, yes.

        I have successfully tethered a Mibox to my phone and then Chromecast the Optus Sport app to the Mibox. Didn't show up as used data. I think the problem is that potentially a Chromecast might somehow connect to the wrong content server (not really sure how though).

        That issue might apply to Optus Sport, Spotify or an iView app running directly on the device rather than via Chromecast.

    Id go for it if Optus sport included ESPN or nfl, nba. It's only got soccer and cricket.

    Is it feasible to use this as my home internet? i stream netflix, kodi etc? I'd cancel my home broadband saving $60 a month with IINET and use the 100gb 4g data with Optus?

      yep looking to do the very same thing. Our ADSL is crap. 4G is like 10x faster (going off a speedtest off an OPTUS mobile phone).

    Ouchies! I just picked up the 256gb version from the Post Office on Saturday and opened it yesterday. Oh well…I'm only paying $89.50 p/m. However $80 would have been tops!

    Should I get this, sell it and then get a 10' one on ebay (20% discount) so I can spend the leftover money to buy the keyboard & pen? so tempting

    Does anyone know if I can hook up the SIM to a router and get unlimited netflix?

      No it won't work, you have to stream it through the netflix app on a device for it to be unmetered.

        My tv has an netflix app. Would this work?
