First post, please be kind.

Head into your nearest Apple Store

  • Save $1000 on the cost of an iPhone for a new 24 month $69 BYOD Plan with 150 GB of data — offer expires 22/2/2022 unless extended

or

  • Save $650 for a 24 month $59 BYOD Plan with 100 GB of data

Total minimum plan costs $1416 or $1656.

Good deal if your Apple stores are currently open.
Yes, I know it is Vodafone and I'm sorry if this deal would not serve your needs but for some people in some locations, it works well.

Pros:
$650 to $1000 off new iPhone
Maybe stackable with gift cards from previous Woolworths / Big W promotions +/-possible trade-in for your current device
100 minutes international call allowance to some countries
Large data allowances

Cons:
Vodafone
Tied up to a 24-month contract with them
Not available with Vodafone Bundle & Save or Vodafone Network Satisfaction Guarantee

Edit 1:
Also available as per terms - $500 off for $49 Vodafone BYOD 36-month plan (but not really a good deal)
Please read full T&Cs for more info.

Edit 2:
Hi guys, for full disclosure I purely shared this cause I was shopping around for options for myself and my family and thought it may help others looking at iPhones. I haven't availed of it myself at this stage so I cannot answer your questions.

Please do your maths and work out what is best for you. Everyone has different needs. Have a good day! :)

    So you pick up the phone from apple?

    I don’t get these deals. Get a discount on a phone but have to take a way overpriced plan and stick with it for 2 years!

    • Gamer Dad Reviews on 29/09/2021 - 19:45

      This is an excellent deal for me, where my employer will cover 100% of the overpriced plan fee itself, but won't pay for the handset repayment portion of my mobile phone bill. Its like a $1000 discount on an iPhone 13, which I need, because my iPhone 12 only has 4GB of RAM, rendering it functionally next to useless. Seriously, iPhone 12 (non-pro) is a FRUSTRATING phone to use - do to the insufficient RAM.

  • abuseyourdna on 22/09/2021 - 11:23

    nothing is better than you buy outright phone and pay $100 for a 1 year prepaid plan.

    • donkcat on 22/09/2021 - 11:42

      What happens after 1 year? Can you renew the $100 for another 12 months and keep your number?

      • Murdrum on 22/09/2021 - 11:49

        If whatever deal you got lets you renew for the same. I expect you'd have to port to a different provider to get a new discounted 1 year prepaid.

    • fseng on 23/09/2021 - 16:00

      prepaid plan does not give you 5G access. I mean for ppl who's going for the iphone 13.

      • hawkeye93 on 23/09/2021 - 16:29

        Voda prepaid has 5G.

    • Jwuu90 on 03/10/2021 - 00:24

      True that,

      I'm currently paying 45 a month for my optus plan when they had a special which provides 80gb a month, unlimited standard calls and texts and 200min overseas calls.

      Going to buy the phone outright and use the simcard, way cheaper.

  • arctan on 22/09/2021 - 11:24

    Whats the total cost? $69 x 24 = 1656?

    • digitalane on 22/09/2021 - 11:26

      Plus phone price (which is discounted not free)

  • jv on 22/09/2021 - 11:25

    PRICE in title.

  • SuBw00FeR on 22/09/2021 - 11:28

    I'd rather just get the phone on a plan from voda for like ~$96/mo incl the phone and plan cost, 80gb data

    • PaPaGeorGeo on 24/09/2021 - 13:04

      If you have the $$ for the upfront payment then you save between ~$350 & $424 over 24 months with the $69 plan + 1k credit vs the Voda $45 pm plan + repayments

  • backupper1 on 22/09/2021 - 11:37

    FYI
    Vodafone in Apple store runs a HARD credit check which does lower your credit score.

    1. If you get approved and avail it then for first month your score will be lowered but next month it will rise up or revert to original.
    2. If you don’t get approved or you don’t avail after approval, then your score will go down.

    If you are planning a bigger loan (house, car etc) then be mindful of this.

    • cnut on 22/09/2021 - 12:20

      Homeloans aren’t affected by the bs credit score. They look at other factors.

      • backupper1 on 22/09/2021 - 14:17

        Can you elaborate ‘other factors’ and does credit score fall into ‘other factors’ or is it a bs with zero affect on credit applications?

          It comes down to your ability to pay the loan off and the risk you pose to the lender.

          They’ll check your current assets and liabilities, including salary vs regular payments out of your account. Which includes pay-slips and also ow long you’ve been at your current job + your spouse’s income etc.

  • jasswolf on 22/09/2021 - 11:38

      It's per month data

      • rainbowyen on 22/09/2021 - 11:54
        -7

        Are u sure? For what I can see I didn’t find anything saying it’s per month data, normally 100GB sim only plans are even more than $59 by itself, let alone any discounts, if it’s per month data it’s well worth it.

        • joeiwu on 22/09/2021 - 12:08
          +2

          I've yet to see a postpaid plan advertising a per month pricing and giving a per year data quota. It is per month. If you are confused, you should ring up Vodafone to make sure, and they will tell you its per month.

  • letmesingh on 22/09/2021 - 12:15
    +6

    so its $69 x 24 = $1656 and $1349 - 1000 = $349 for base model of iphone 13

    Comes down to $2005 / 24 = $83.5 a month if my math is right

    with 150gb data at max speed. this gotta be one of the cheapest contract option in Aus

      but with Vodafone the coverage is bad

      • Fancydancer on 22/09/2021 - 12:33

        Regularly use all three around Sydney and Central Coast, been with Telstra for 12 months. Happy to go back to Voda, I find they still have a bad rep from years ago that just isn't justified. If anything only slightly worse than Telstra for me, and way better than Optarse.

  • JSONBourne on 22/09/2021 - 13:32

    Any good deals on iPhone 12 outright at the moment/coming up?

    • hawkeye93 on 22/09/2021 - 13:48

      Hopefully Telstra day will have it again next month. $949 last deal.

      • JSONBourne on 22/09/2021 - 13:50

        Was that 128gb only? After a 256gb but there doesn’t seem to be any deals like that anymore.

    • [Deactivated] on 22/09/2021 - 15:38

      hahaha verticle camera setup, get 12 max or people gonna assume you're broke!!

  • Pubs92 on 22/09/2021 - 14:11

    I've been shopping around for a deal as well but none come anywhere near as good as buying it outright. My current phone plan is $18 per month on Circle.Life

    Comparing Circle plan with the Vodafone plan;

    Circle (over 24 months + Iphone 13 pro) = 18 x 24 + 1699 (outright) = $2,131

    Vodafone ($69 over 24 months with $1k discount) = 24 x 69 + (1699-1000) = $2,355

    Hard to beat buying the phone outright.

    • Mungulz on 22/09/2021 - 14:18

      For 20GB/mo after 6mo? That's a useless amount of data. App updates will eat that lol.

    • VestMogen on 22/09/2021 - 14:42

      20G/month? Why do you need a 5G phone then

    • savingmoney on 22/09/2021 - 15:30

      I agree with buying outright. Unfortunately, where my family lives (rural VIC), Optus has very poor reception even outside while Vodafone (surprisingly) can do 4G inside the house. So Circle.Life doesn't work even though it has heaps of data, which we need.

      • srhardy on 26/09/2021 - 12:06

        Felix mobile, $35 a month on Vodafone network and UNLIMITED data @20mbs (up from vodafone infinite 1.5mb for excess data)

  • djsweet on 22/09/2021 - 14:59

    Went into the Apple Store and they said they can only do the deal once they had stock. No preorder. So you just have to walk in and try your luck post release.

      Does anyone know if the release date is today? I ordered from Jbhifi. Does it mean I can collect today?

      • djsweet on 24/09/2021 - 09:23

        Release is today, but staff at the Vodafone store were not confident they would get stock by today due to Startrack delays. Apple store definitely has them. Preorder collection line was pretty long this morning when I walked past.

        • omego84 on 24/09/2021 - 09:53

          Ok thank you for letting me know

    • scrypton on 23/09/2021 - 00:11

      From the T&C provided on the link, any remaining credits will be forfeited. However, since I assumr the trade-in is being done between you and Apple (without Vodafone’s involvement) then it is possible that they might give you cash or gift card. You’d have to talk to the staff at Apple Store.

  • spaceboy on 23/09/2021 - 10:48

    Called Apple and they said this is not available online, you need to go into a store to sign up. So not available in locked down states :(

  • tanastra on 23/09/2021 - 19:00

    • djsweet on 27/09/2021 - 08:00

      Yes

      • May23 on 27/09/2021 - 11:35

        Thanks for confirming that. I should’ve mention lockdown states like VIC

  • icefire09 on 25/09/2021 - 11:52

    Just called Apple Chadstone, they won't do the deal during the lockdown until the retail reopens, which is 5 Nov I think, and this deal only runs until 25/10/21.

  • srhardy on 26/09/2021 - 12:21

    OK, compare this to 24m on month2month, no contract $35 Felix mobile with unlimited AU calls and texts for $35 a month = $840
    minus whatever you can sell, or trade in your mobile for (apple do tradeins on new gear) so say iPhone13mini $1200 as its the cheapest on offer

    $1200+840=2040 over 2 years = $85 a month (minus cr or trade in/sell/swap over).

    Where as 150gb a month, 1000CR means the $1200-1000=200+(69*24)=$1566+200=$1856/24=$77.33 excess data at 1.5mbs

    I dont know how the 59 plan is better given the offset $400CR-(10*24)+$160 better off + extra 50gb before throttling

    Just do'in the maths to help like minded people.

    The MINI now has a lot better battery life, pocket friendly size and would be my pick now unless your eyes are going or you need allday mobile usage of the pro-max and the extra camera functions but then DONT BUY THE 128GB as its limited to 1080P prores and if your going this higher end, dont squib now, get the 512 at a minimum ~ itallhurt but demsdabrakes

    OP good deal but Vodafone&Apple being misleading and deceptive…

    Firstly this is a instore offer only. However every Apple store is closed in NSW, ACT or VIC.

    Therfore you cannot even get this offer anywhere in sydney…

    Spoke to Apple today and they said they are not doing any contracts in stores as they are only doing click and collect.

    Vodafone said they cant reserve or do this offer speak to Apple. Apple said its a vodafone deal speak to vodafone.

    Solid no go for Sydney, ACT, Melbournians. Maybe if u sneak into WA or QLD?

    Anyone else in the same boat?

    • Skitter on 13/10/2021 - 16:47

      Really wanted to get this deal too as my Telstra contact is up from the iPhone 11 deal I got with JB a couple years ago.

      But being in Victoria looks like I’m screwed. 😥

      It’s a real shame that Apple/Vodafone aren’t taking into account that some people can’t access this deal cause of lockdowns. Or maybe it’s why they’re doing it - as they know some people might just pay full cost for the phone/plan online if they don’t want to wait (hope) for another deal to come up.

    • sparrowking on 14/10/2021 - 16:00
      +2

      In the same boat.
      Tried calling Vodafone to get the offer but got redirected to Apple.
      Spoke to the Apple Store Fountain Gate and got told that they can't process in-store purchases.
      Spoke to Apple Online too but no luck at all.
      Funny how the lockdown suppose to end on the 26/10 and the offer ends on 25/10 :)

      • BangkokBreakfast on 25/10/2021 - 07:08

        Offer now extended to 30/11

        • Skitter on 26/10/2021 - 01:54

          Awesome! Link posted above still has this month, but did a Google search and Apple site lists 30/11 as you say. 😊

          Guy I spoke to at Apple the other day hinted it might be extended, but of course he couldn’t say for sure.

          Now just gotta wait until start of Nov when hopefully retail opens in Vic again.

  • EyyBanane on 18/10/2021 - 13:42

    This is a good deal OP. Any idea when Apple is going to open their NSW stores? None of the chat reps have any idea, they keep saying this deal is available, but only in-store and they have no idea when they'd open the stores

    Can you swap plans while under contract?

      Yes, but there is termination fee - 50% of monthly fee x number of remaining months.
