Anyone know of any current deals for a iPhone XS with either Optus or Telstra? Looked on JB Hifi and HN but no deals listed there.
Data amount isn’t really a dealbreaker for me. Already have a mobile service with Optus, want to add another service. Spoke to them on chat but they wouldn’t budge from their standard listed price.
Okay, I'll bite.
By far has the most security of any mobile OS, the most refined OS, superior hardware (I know yu're gonna come back with BUT THE HW IS YEARS OLD, blah blah blah, but, mate, all the benchmark tests completely prove that wrong), best optimization with the HW, works without any google apps/services installed, encrypts data and doesn't add back-doors for the authorities, their App Store is light years ahead of anything android/windows with much more secure app control/quality testing, offers 5+ years of latest OS version updates, replaces faulty products on the spot without waiting, 24/7 support (even outside your warranty they'll help you in-store), have stores everywhere, no need to wait for months to get devices serviced, they offer coding/design/photography/videography/music making/editing courses with teachers in their stores for free, and many more other perks.
I'll gladly pay for all these extras and for the fact that my data and info stays with me and is not used by marketing agencies; I'll gladly pay a few hundred $$ extra instead of turning myself into a data-sharing sheep in exchange for lower device prices.
Some android users are completely delusional thinking those phones compare to iPhones. They both have hardware, but they work completely different and have totally different ideas/mentalities behind them. Apple restricts and limits data sharing, while Google does everything it can to collect and use as much information as possible.

No need to be fan boys everyone. Buy whatever works for you. No need to compare my d!ck is bigger than yours or whatnot.
I didn't just jump onto any random comment to spew Apple love - I am just refuting GreatDealHunter's explicit baiting. It gets lethargic reading the poorly thought-out CrApple comments.
Edit: Furthermore, the link you provided was not Apple pilfering data. Did you even read the article from 9News? The feature that certain App developers abused was being used as designed - it's just that the App developers didn't disclose or encrypt the data recorded. It's not even a friggen bug, dude.
Between those two, I would go with Telstra.
What about Vodafone ?
I don't know why ppl go crazy with iphones… its a shit phone.. over priced.. no freedom… its like I pay to be your slave..
