If you have a JB HiFI Wicked Wednesday code (which you receive via email if you've signed up to their mailing list) - the extra 5% code works on iPhone XR, XS & XS Max models even though the terms say excludes Apple products.

Most product pages say stock is limited and you need to purchase in store - but if you add it to your cart you can check store stock for click and collect. Doesn't work for every iPhone, particularly some of the popular XR colours and higher capacity XS models, but there is definitely still a good selection.

Examples…

iPhone XR 64gb - $1167.55
iPhone XR 128gb - $1234.05

iPhone XS 64gb - $1547.55
iPhone XS 256gb - $1785.05

iPhone XS Max 256gb - $1946.55

Deal ends at midnight tonight so you'll need to be quick.

          I have an iPhone, required for work, I hate it, my 5 y/o nexus 5 has more functionality than this iPhone 8, back button for one. Not locked down no 2. Just the intuitiveness of using the phone…

          They are pretty much much of a muchness, there are just little bits and pieces that make the iPhone suck to use… like not being able to set a custom ring tone without Apple trying to invade your pc, by having to install I tunes… it’s a half phone.

              @Icecold5000: Why because I’ve disagreed with you? And voiced my opinion that it seems so crazy for such a massive amount of cash that doesn’t appear to have much / any more functionality than something half the price?

              This is a public forum after all, I didn’t neg, stuck within the site guide lines…

              Seems legit, mature.. yes I’ve pissed off heaps of fanboys. I was pretty prepared for the reaction,

              I’m sorry I didn’t realise voicing my opinion wasn’t allowed if I didn’t agree with the majority.

              • Icecold5000 on 05/12/2018 - 22:05

                @wisc: i think he graphics card example illustrates how wrong your argument is. Consistency doesn't appear to be one of your strong points. We all have our preferences but I'm mature enough to recognise that not everyone share the same view as I do. Maybe you should consider that.

                Anyway gaming is a complete waste unless you are wealthy enough not to work because life is limited and if you're slaving away at a job when you could be creating a future for yourself without have to give your time away. See how that works?

                • wisc on 05/12/2018 - 22:19

                  @Icecold5000: Then you too have missed my point.

                  Put simply, for the items listed above (car/graphics card) there is a massive difference in features/ability to justify the price difference.

                  The difference between a 2k phone and a 1k/$500 phone, not so much…. or at least none which anyone has highlighted.

                  I’m not talking about the use of those features, just that they exist in tangable /measurable quantities.

                  Very frustrating no one seems to answer these!

                    @wisc: You seem to have missed my point. Everyone has different preferences. Why should yours be relevant to them. If you have a legitimate complaint against this deal - that there are cheaper iPhones to be had - then that is acceptable. Trying to impose your own preferences on people as if they were the benchmark makes you egotistic and conceited.

                    @wisc: actually by your logic of "i really cant consider a mobile phone at this price point a bargain… as long as it only does what a phone does!"

                    I don't think a luxury car that cost 200-300k has THAT much more feature/ability to justify its price. A car cost 15k would take you from point A to B no issue, and definitely doesn't take you any longer from point A to B.

                    As someone point out below, there is much more to iphone (and in fact many other products) than just comparing the specs.

                    Very frustrating that some people get so confused with the word BARGAIN…let me just google this for you.

                    Bargain is, "A thing bought or offered for sale much more cheaply than is usual or expected" SMH

                      @yolo123456789: A luxury car may open up sexual opportunities with gold diggers as a signalling tool. I can't see a high end graphics card doing the same.

                      @yolo123456789: sigh i acknowledged that point below (re preferences and value of items)… "I agree that i don't (or you) don't need to buy it… (and don't use it, don't get one, it would be a massive waste of money)" -

                      that's not what my initial point was about. - and as far as i knew, we where arguing my initial point - which was, for double the cost, it doesn't seem to provide any additional functionality to make it worthy of bargain status. - to be perfectly clear, I never negged this deal. this is a public forum for people to voice there opinion… (welcome to ozbargain.) I put crap in brackets, because that is my opinion of the phone after using the iPhone 8 for a few months, its less intuitive and lacks features that i like, - my opinion. maybe its just learning the short cuts and work arounds, but i cant stand the phone - but i guess that is neither here nor there, (but included to justify my crap comment)

                      so far no one has been able to highlight functionality that would contribute to the phone being double the cost of say the iphone 8, or Samsung s9 - which can be had for half the price, in fact, even a phone 1/4 of the price - there are some amazing 500 dollar phones out there… again i didnt neg based on this. just highlighting that fact on a PUBLIC forum.

                      the only thing i could see this offers, is a status symbol, and i guess, based on the defence of this phone, is of major importance to many people.

                      RE your statement "Bargain is, "A thing bought or offered for sale much more cheaply than is usual or expected" SMH"

                      all i have done is simply expanded the definition of "thing" from "iphone XS Max" - to "Phone" in general. Again its a comment not a negative vote.

      Luckily for you, you can go buy cheapo phones if you like! You aren't being forced to buy the most expensive phones. I mean do you drive Buggati's? Are you going to rage at every car that's more expensive than you personally want to spend?

      I bought a HTC Touch HD for RRP of $1299 in 2007. I love phones, and I spend money on them. I'm sure there is something you love wasting money on too? Example, I wouldn't spend more than $100 on a graphics card for my computer, but you clearly spent more than that. I think that's crazy! I also think it's crazy spending more than $200 on a computer monitor!!! CRAZY - but I realise this is entirely personal, and could understand anyone spending more than this as it's what they like.

      • wisc on 05/12/2018 - 16:43

        but, I think even you need to appreciate the functionality difference between those items you have listed above (and the a more standard item). EG, a 100 dollar graphics card isn't going to get a reasonable, (or playable) frame rate, with game settings turned up for awesome visuals, a Buggati is going to 0-100 stupidly faster than a corolla - let alone the cost to build them.

        The bigger the difference in price the bigger difference in the performance or functionality, my whole issue is that they (these phones) are quite a decent percent more, yet, functionality wise… not so much… not so much….

        • onlinepred on 05/12/2018 - 16:50
          +1

          But I don't play games, why do I need to get good frame rate? -see the personal preference arising here?

          Also if I buy this cheap phone, will I be able to continue to get updates for 5 years, get in store service, global accessory support and availability? The answer is no. I can see the value, having currently own P2XL, S9+ and IPX. It's something I use daily for more than 4-5 hours and will keep for up to 4 years. All androids I have owned barely lasted 2 years without issues arising so it's something I value.

          Anyway you are missing the point, some people put value elsewhere, you put value on pure specs vs cost only. What phone would you recommend in iPhones place?

            @onlinepred: I think you missed my point, so, I agree that i don't (or you) don't need to buy it… (and don't use it, don't get one, it would be a massive waste of money)…..but the functionality difference or ability, is substantial between a 100 dollar nvidia 1030 and a AMD Vega 64 (got mine for 450 new - or i wouldn't have bought it.)

            https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GT-1030-vs-AMD-…

            frame rate and performance seems to be much higher than the percentage difference in cost… can you claim the same with a 2000 dollar phone vs a 500 dollar phone… or even a 1,000 dollar Samsung S9?

              I think you're undervaluing the performance of these phones and a low-mid range phone.
              And thats OK, you're allowed to value different things compared to other people. Its why I'm OK with integrated graphics on my computer and wouldn't spend any money on a dedicated graphics card. Its not something that is important to me.

              But I also don't go around in threads where people post graphics cards asking why those people are wasting their money when an integrated graphics solution is perfectly fine.

            • onlinepred on 05/12/2018 - 17:16

              @wisc: But you don't get it, I don't game, so it would be a waste of money. There's no way I would pay more than $100, and that would only be get extra display ports for multiple monitors.

              And like I said, I can't get 5 years of updates and support from a $1000 S9. I have an S9+ btw. A $500 phone doesn't have the same functionality as the S9 or Iphones, so you would be stupid to even compare - which you should know based on your arguments. Spec wise they don't even compare. I mean what a pocophone against an iPhone xs max?

              • wisc on 05/12/2018 - 18:07

                @onlinepred: Would you be so kind as to throw me some actual stats in regards to functionality… like I did with the video cards, that actually amount to something… that would justify the 2x-4x higher price.

    Well. It's basically too expensive for a phone. I was apple user for more than 10 years already but I don't think I will go back to Apple again. My maximum for apple was $1500 and now it goes to Samsung Note 9. Good Bye Apple.

            @wisc: Because people aren't blind as you say. Is it expensive? Sure, but that doesn't mean it doesn't hold personal value to people in terms of Apple's stance on protecting your privacy which is unrivaled, the ecosystem, the look and feel, iMessage capability, build quality, environmental & sustainability focus, even being a status symbol etc etc etc… iPhones also hold their resale value significantly more than any Samsung device.

            There are more factors to selecting a product than just the price point for some.

            I'm a huge iOS fan and upgrade iPhone every year, iPad every 2-3 and have an Apple Watch and Airpods. I have tried and never been happy with Android's offerings in comparison.

            Having said that, I have never owned and do not plan to ever own a Macbook because it doesn't suit my needs at all nor do I like them in general.

            To each their own. So what? Why should I hate on people that prefer Macbooks just because it doesn't suit me?

      It was better when the max was around $1k.

      You could use the phone for a year and sell it for $700 - $800. It's a shame that sales of Android and iPhones continued to do well when they upped the price. if they tanked a bit more it might help keep these companies at bay.
