Hi Folks,

For those who are skeptical about buying iPhone from eBay, i am glad to say that i was able to get Officeworks to price beat mymobile.com.au (looks like they have a shop in Brisbane). Although these may not be the 'cheapest' prices, but you are getting them from an established brick and mortar store without any potential warranty dramas.

I was able to get the iPhone XS MAX 256gb for $1804.05 after Officeworks price beat.
$1899 (RRP $2049) listed on here: https://mymobile.com.au/iphone-xs-max-256gb-space-grey-unloc…

Other notable mentions: https://mymobile.com.au/catalogsearch/result/?q=iphone+xs
iPhone XS 512gb $1899 (RRP $2199) - Officeworks price beat $1804.05
iPhone XS 64gb $1479 (RRP $1629) - Officeworks price beat $1405.05
iPhone XS MAX 64gb $1699 (RRP $1799) - Officeworks price beat $1614.05

Mymobile lists these as AU stock with free delivery, Officeworks was able to price beat over the phone before i went to collect. I suggest calling first as in store experience varies when it comes to price beat.

Best of luck!

    Thanks, bought 3…

  • juzz0 on 28/11/2018 - 00:19

    Pretty much the same price as non-max 256gB. I wonder why it's so difficult to find a deal on the 256GB XS, I gather it must be a popular choice.

    Close to 2 grand for a mobile phone. What has the world come to?

      It's the world of apple.

      These comments really have become tiresome.

      First, as our well-known contributor 'HighandDry' would most likely say (in the best libertarian spirit): No-one is being forced to purchase an expensive mobile device. It is entirely a personal choice. If you don't like it, that's your problem. Don't buy one. There are many very inexpensive mobile devices available, which function perfectly as a 'mobile phone'.

      Second, these Apple (and Samsung, and other) devices are not just 'mobile phones'. I can only assume, AussieDaddy, that you have never actually observed a person using one of these devices; just making telephone calls is not really a very common occurrence. Perhaps you have been too busy keeping the kids off your lawn?

      For your elucidation, these expensive 'mobile phones' are, in fact, extremely powerful teeny-weeny portable computers. They run programs, which the young folks call 'apps'. Apparently they also take photos. Oh, and some of the 'apps' enable social connection between potentially millions of people all over the world. Fancy that, eh? You can even watch videos of cats falling off benches.

        Can buy a cheap android that does all this for a couple of hundred bucks. If you like paying out the posterior for slick advertising and being locked into what apple thinks you should do, more power to you.

      • Diji1 on 28/11/2018 - 13:53

        HighAndDry thinks electricity privatisation has been a good outcome even as the ACCC calls it a failure and believes that governments should allow predatory lenders to operate because the victims have some sort of moral failing.

        He substitutes neoliberal ideology for reality even as it's against his own interests.

      • AussieDaddy on 28/11/2018 - 17:13

        To partially quote you, Roman Sandstorm, "If you don't like my comment, that's your problem. Don't read it."

          If you think about it, it's a good point though. Why you need to spend almost 2 grand for a phone mainly used to take pics check youtube and play games when Oppo phones can do the same for much lower price

        • Roman Sandstorm on 29/11/2018 - 14:41

          But I wasn't the one making some kind of moralistic and phony (see what I did there?) outrage.

          And it's a straw dog argument anyway. All those so offended say: "Two thousand dollars for a phone. How ridiculous." (The hidden presumption that someone else's $2k would be better spent on something more worthy.)

          These devices are not 'phones'. And by judging them that way, and those who own them, you are making a fundamental mistake.

          If your argument was: "Oh, the new iPhone is $500 dearer than an equivalent Samsung, and that $500 would be better saved for retirement in 50 years" then you may have some credibility. But to whinge about the price of something you will never purchase and to completely mischaracterise and miscategorise the device anyway, makes your bleat pretty worthless.

          It's a familiar theme here at OzB (and elsewhere): "Oh my goodness gracious, whoever would spend $400,000 on a Maserati? What outrageous conspicuous consumption. How morally wrong."

          How was that journey out here on the Mayflower, by the way?

          • AussieDaddy on 29/11/2018 - 14:52

      the Amex Essentials card (no annual fee) has a Screen Insurance feature - you only pay 10% of the repair cost, valid for two repairs per year. The phone has to have been purchased with the card, or monthly payments on a phone plan paid with the card.

  • Apue on 28/11/2018 - 09:53

      Agreed.

      But don't you think this argument could be applied to just about anything purchased anywhere, ever?

  • scud70 on 28/11/2018 - 10:02

    Is this the norm now? $1900 phone and thats when its cheap? ridiculous.. apple or aos no phone should cost this much. Most i've paid ever is for my Note8 when Hardly normal had it for $987 and i got it on Amex with $100 rebate so 887 and even then its bordering on overpriced!

  • bvdbvd on 28/11/2018 - 10:13

    Such a ridiculous price.

    can’t justify spending this much on a phone.

    I really think the iPhone price is far from its true value

    Its way overpriced.

    What really is the point of this? Is it because some people are angry/sad/disappointed/whatever that they cannot afford one of these items? And their response is to ridicule and criticise? Thus making themselves feel better?

    Where is the equivalent vitriol directed against… Bang & Olufsun, or Maserati, or Tiffany, or any other premium brand product? Yes, Gucci handbags are way overpriced; who could justify spending that much on a handbag?

    It's a seemingly odd, almost psychological phenomena, that some people when discussing smart phones appear take on a strident, moralistic-type puritan ethos. As if highlighting the sheer waste of hard-earned, god-sanctioned money on such a trivial item somehow imbues them with smug superiority. Ironically, this is exactly the same thing that purchasers of 'premium' items seek themselves.

    • ThithLord on 28/11/2018 - 11:15

      They hate that the superior experience Apple users have over them. No amount of terabytes of RAM in their Android phones is going to compete with a well-oiled OS, so they get mad.
