    I hope people that bought iPhones recently have price protection on their credit cards. Prices dropping like crazy

    • +4

      If you’re buying the basic version. The pro versions don’t drop a lot. The IPhone 11 is nearly 3 years old now.

      • +8

        Still a great phone at this price point.

      • -1

        The IPhone 11 is nearly 3 years old now.

        Also old tech on this one, 60hz ips screen with lower resolution and 'only' two cameras but the price reflects it so it's ok

        • +1

          the price reflects it so it's ok

          Yeah, it reflects what it should have been at the time it was released, not now. Good old Apple tax.

            @McFly: Yeah I just got an iPhone 11 a few months ago and its really not that great a phone.. My LG v40 was better (my opinion of course). I am getting a solid 3 days out of each battery charge though, which is great!

            • @axloz: What do you need the iPhone 11 to do that it cannot?

              • @solidice: Nothing in particular.. Its just not as nice to use compared to the LG.. The LG is lighter and has a narrower bezel (ie the screen occupies more of the overall face). The menu seems a bit snappier on the LG as well, but its a different OS…

          • @McFly: Mate, are you an android fanboy?
            Its a phone thats gonna have 5-6 years of OS updates, that has/had a very good main and wide camera, excellent build quality, very good battery life/speakers and a super A13 Apple chip thats probably faster than today's fastest android phone
            I had iphone 11 and it's probably the best Apple vfm phone ever.

    • A galaxy S21 that released in 2021 was going for the same price a few days ago, brand new at JB

      So I would say, iPhones hold their price pretty good.

      • With trade in?

        • Yes

      • This thing vs a flagship phone released last year that's better in just about every way. Brilliant!
        If you want an investment, buy shares.

  • Is it worthy to upgrade to this from iPhone 7?

    • +4

      It is but why didn’t you get an iPhone 13 128gb for $999 from Telstra day / JB HIFI price match a few days ago?

      • +13

        Sing it with me, "If I could back time. If I could find a way."

        • +1

          "If I could back time. If I could find a way."

      • +13

        Possibly because it's nearly $350 more.

        • +4

          But the 13 128gb has 64gb more capacity than this 11 64gb therefore it is $250 or so more expensive. Not saying 11 is not capable or outdated but for $250 more IMO is worth getting a 13 instead.

          • +9

            @wtfnodeal: He didn't buy iPhone 13 because he didn't have your credit card.

            • +1

              @netsurfer: I got one because I have mine. If you look at the MobileMonster will pay $110 for a perfect condition iPhone 7. They will pay $80 for a working one.

      • $350 cheaper? And I still did not buy anything. 7 works perfectly and still has iOS upgrades. I would change for boredom, but if there is not much difference support apart I stay with the old one. Times are tough.

    • +1

      Resale value will drop when Apple shifts to USB-C next year (10x faster data & 2way faster charging than outdated Lightning that will be harder to charge from others).
      When the next iPhone comes at end of September the iPhone 11 will be dropped & priced down to clear the stock.
      64GB & no 5G is not much today & Galaxy S21 FE 5G 128 with 1-2 years longer support, 120Hz refresh, lighter, much better & larger screen, 3x optical zoom, HDR10+, 25W fast charging…) for $701 delivered & will drop when new Galaxy Fold/Flip 4 arrive + Samsung trying to sell more Galaxies before iPhone 14 arrives - should no be missed :)

      • +2

        Expecting Apple to include an USB-C/USB-C cable that supports USB 3 for iPhones seem unrealistic, Apple has not done that for iPad Air 4th gen and iPad Mini. Lightning is capable of USB 3.0 (think iPad Pro). It's just due to cost cutting, Apple changed USB-C to lightning 1 meter cables from USB 3 (first batch) to USB 2 (subsequent batches). The iPhone card reader (lighting to card reader) appears to be USB 3, so clearly lightning is USB 3 capable.

        S21 FE really needs a good trade in deal. The most recent S22 deal and the S21 deal a while back, after trade in and vouchers double dip, it was easily $150 after trade in. S21 Plus and Ultra were also in there. Also, why so much love for a phone that's based on Exynos processor? Might as well aim for S22 or wait for S23.

        • USB-C is 3.1 much faster & with the provided USB-C/C cable from Samsung T5 SSD I was able to backup the phone in very minute or so when I purchased the SSD in the shop.

          Via the same sources & 1 USB-C/USB/C cable (from new Samsung T7 1TB SSD with fast 10tb/s data transfer directly with the phone's USB-C) I can charge the Laptop, Galaxy Buds Live, AKG N700 wireless headphones, MX Keys, MX Anywhere 3, MX Master 3, Wuben rechargeable flashlight, Xiaomi Mi 1S portable pump, future USB-C monitor - so simple & fast & in both directions (can charge another device from the charged device…).

          If you trust Apple marketing you'll pay many times more for less convenient/advanced features. I used smartphones since 2001 & it took >20 years for the EU to enforce USB-C standard, so Apple will have to do it from the next year or soon after.

          Exynos has its pros & cons & most users will not see noticeable difference.
          Every new gen of processor makes the old gen of most mobiles less efficient. It doesn't matter for most of the everyday functions.
          On the most important business continuity strategy (I'm IT pro), I depend on features that I cannot find anywhere else: S-pen, micro-SD backup, DeX functionality, etc.

            @taki:

            If you trust Apple marketing you'll pay many times more for less convenient/advanced features.

            And I’ve also heard the stories about android phone owners being treated like dirt when their devices malfunctioned. I went into the Apple store when my iPhone SE had a faulty recharge connector. 30 minutes later I left with a new iPhone. Why would I risk spending 1k+ with companies who have substandard warranty policies and limited period security and OS updates. iphones and Apple products are popular because they work well for the vast majority of their owners and do so for at least 4 years.

            • @Icecold5000: I can confirm the dirt part, years ago my iPhone 5 malfunctioned and at the store they sad it fell in water because there is a little thing inside showing some red. Of course it never fell in water and everywhere online I could find moisture can go inside and trigger the water alert. From that day I have used Android with full satisfaction.

              • @Laziofogna: My connector came lose. I was polite. Apple provided a replacement. Would recommend.

      • -2

        When those USB-C ports start getting a bad reputation for breaking in the market that drop may not be so significant.

        iPhone users keep their phones longer than Android users, so wonky ports will piss them off. The lightning port is super sturdy and most people just use them to charge.

        • +1

          Most analysts expect iPhone 14 to use lightning still. We need at least iPad (10th gen) to transition to USB-C first. With AirPods and Magic Keyboards still use lightning, and Apple could wait till iPhone 16 to introduce USB-C, it makes no sense to make the switch now.

        • +3

          8y old Galaxy note 4 is still in good condition with my overseas father. Just sent spare 2 batteries (replaceable) & he's using Viber, FB, camera, remote control…
          1st USB-C Galaxy Note 8 is still in perfect condition other than the battery starting to last shorter (given to spouse & she likes the camera).
          Note 10+ all good, inc. battery that charges with 45W in 30min, from work USB-C standard power, or from work Surface laptop via USB-C (5.5x faster than via USB-A of the same laptop).

          Via the same sources & 1 USB-C/USB/C cable (from Samsung T7 1TB SSD with fast 10tb/s data transfer directly with the phone's USB-C) I can charge the Laptop, Galaxy Buds Live, AKG N700 wireless headphones, MX Keys, MX Anywhere 3, MX Master 3, Wuben rechargeable flashlight, Xiaomi Mi 1S portable pump, future USB-C monitor - so simple & fast & in both directions (can charge another device from the charged device…).

          You will see different world when you step out of the walled garden. I prefer universal standards & less dependency on different cables.
          If you trust Apple marketing you'll pay many times more for less convenient/advanced features. I used smartphones since 2001 & it took >20 years for the EU to enforce USB-C standard, so Apple will have to do it from the next year.

            I’m an IT guy dude. I moved from the Android Wild West to iOS and never looked back.

            The quality and support are top notch and the manufacturer WILL look after you. Unlike Android where they throw you under a bus as soon as the warranty runs out, sometimes sooner.

            If you do buy a quality android phone the price is similar to Apple anyway and they still throw you under a bus.

            Plus I fiddle with my Windows machines and home office stuff, not my phone.

            • +1

              @Grok: Apple warranty generally feels great when you have a recent enough Apple product. Once you have more Apple products and have more needs to visit Apple stores, you will encounter cases where Apple also throws you under the bus.

              • Anything that your Apple store deems accidental damage, prepare to pay.
              • Warranty on accessories, if you don't have the receipt, Apple stores may treat you like a second class citizen.
              • The warranty unit you get is refurbished, not brand new.
              • Apple Australia is bounded by Australian consumer laws. Overseas, you don't get the same level of service.
              • Apple does get away with things where other makers would have to do a recall of products.

              There are so many dodgy second hand iPhones with 3rd party repairs or DIY repairs on the market. Lightning to USB-C change is inevitable, but Apple is prolonging lightning intentionally. It's not an issue for people deep in Apple ecosystem as those people would already have USB-C and/or Thunderbolt devices.

              iOS and Android are copying each other. iOS is now more complicated. For example, the focus feature, while great, does remind me of Android.

              • @netsurfer: Whatever the negatives are of Apple they are many times worse with other manufacturers. Resale on iPhone is phenomenal.

                My friends have had many dealings with Apple and it is not unheard of to be given a repair or even upgrade free because of delays or issues. You do get the distinct impression that Apple stand behind their product. It should, it’s a premium product.

                I would not buy a non Apple refurb though for the reasons you gave.

                Having said that, if I was a heavy phone user in a technical setting I would probably go Android but I just use apps and make calls so iOS for me is an easy choice.

                • @Grok:

                  Resale of iPhone is phenomenal

                  Can you buy my second hand iPhone which I struggle to sell for 2 weeks? The market is flooded with inferior grade iPhones so I need to drop my price. I handed my old Samsung phone to Samsung via trade in and paid $150 for S21 last year. I'd like Apple to do the same for iPhone.

                  I support as many camps as possible. I've used iPhones for a long time. There were 2 devices which I kept to run 32-bit iOS apps (there are 2 apps which the devs are long gone). Apple did a remote kill on one of my old iPhone designed to run 32-bit apps. Essentially, Apple went, upgrade iOS now or you can no longer use the iPhone so I was forced to upgrade it AND I had to use iTunes, put the phone in DFU more.

                  • @netsurfer: Did you look at something like MobileMonster?

                    They are offering $110 for an as new Apple iPhone 7. They are offering $80 for one that is “working”.

                    • @try2bhelpful: That's really bad. I tend to buy iPhones at launch for family members. So, for an iPhone 7, I would have paid $1000+ at the time I reckon. Obviously, I don't let my family members use iPhones that old.

                      I most certainly spent 2X to 3X more on iPhones compared to Android phones. The percentage trick is good to numb our brains, but unless you sell iPhones within a year or two, you will lose quite a lot.

                      • @netsurfer: The iPhone 7 is 6 year old technology. That return would seem to be pretty reasonable to me.

                        Looking at the site the price for an iPhone 12, 64 Gb, is $530. That would indicate a pretty steep drop off for a two year old phone.

                        If you sell them, within a year or two, you seem to drop a fair bit of money.if you calculate a replacement value every two years, as opposed to buy every six years, You would be looking at, roughly, $1500 as opposed to $900. Admittedly you would get a better phone, each time.

                        We jumped on the Telstra deal for the iPhone 13 because my man’s iPhone 7 won’t update iOS after the next upgrade. We upgraded from an iPhone 6 because it stopped having iOS updates. Frankly our phones, tend, to be support services for our iPADs and Apple watches.

                        • @try2bhelpful: As soon as you opened an iPhone, uses it, it starts to drop in value, same as all other phones. It's relative. You are able to use iPhone 7 for a long time, that's good. I just cannot have family members using an iPhone that long. They will complain about battery life before 6 years.

                          Personally, I can go for iPhone(s) when they are cheap. For love ones, my general policy is get them the latest, preferably when they are first released. So, this iPhones retaining value is not something I personally feel. Also, I prefer to sell my old iPhones in good condition at a good price. If I personally won't use that phone, I won't sell it.

                  • @netsurfer: I’ve only got one iPhone running the latest iOS despite it being quite old. Still on original battery my Nexus battery didn’t last two years. All the big apps work fine.

                    Time for an upgrade though.

                    So this sort of iPhone 11 deal looks pretty good to me. It has 4gb RAM so should run the latest iOS for ages. I may try to snag one in the 500s or maybe a 12 on the 14 release.

                    • @Grok: In general, iPhone battery management is better. However, as I have many Apple devices over the years, I have a dud iPhone SE (gen 1) with awful battery life, even worse than Nexus. Battery health shows 94%, it doesn't last a day on pure standby (and that's with location turned off and only apps from Apple). No issue with other iPhone devices (used to have an iPhone 4S years ago - same form factor), battery was great at the time.

                      Generally, it is fine not to run the latest iOS, but having the kill switch done on an iPhone by Apple (basically Apple de-activated the iPhone) without warning was unpleasant. It was a forced update to the latest version (that I didn't want). Also, I could not go into the phone's settings to upgrade, it had to be done via USB cable and iTunes. I now wonder, do I truly own those i-devices? Or, they are on permanent leases.

                      • @netsurfer: You do give up power and freedoms joining Apple, which is why I have alway been a DOS then Windows guy on the desktop from the very beginning, still am.

                        The iOS ecosystem is so compelling though on mobile, and the alternatives at least initially were so crap, that I have enslaved myself to the will of Jobs from the iPod to now the iPad and iPhone.

                        Like the Eloi, I am content as I am looked after by Apple.

              • @netsurfer: I think the YMMV clause comes in with Apple support. I’ve never had an issue with getting the few products I’ve had issues with replaced; even when a tad out of warranty. It is usually, “yup, have you backed it up?”. You get a refurb but I don’t have an issue with that; at least it has been tested and known to work.

                Generally, with Apple, they will email you a receipt. You just need to keep the emails.

                It would be nice if Apple went down the USB-C path sooner, it is a tad inevitable.

                My experience is that most of my Apple products just tick over. Generally I replace them if Apple give me a new, compelling, function or they stop doing iOS updates for my device. The second hand market, for old devices, is pretty lucrative as well.

                • @try2bhelpful: A tad out of warranty, for iPhones, yes, Apple most likely will provide warranty. Refurb units, for my old iPod Touch Apple replaced, the iOS update made that device extremely painful to use. My friend's iPhone replacement unit had battery expanded after 11 months.

                  Since we are on lightning cable, if the cable has a hair line crack, my Apple store deemed that as accidental damage and refused to replace.

                  Generally, with Apple, they will email you a receipt

                  I buy a lot of products from OfficeWorks, Telstra, JB etc… Through those sellers, it can be a bit of a pain to exercise 14 day return at times. Also, when you get support on those, Apple store staff often asked where I purchased the product from. I don't like that.

                  • @netsurfer: I’m a tad confused. Apple has a 14 day returns policy for products you buy from them, not from someone else. If you want to exercise the 14 day returns policy you need to do it through who you bought it from. Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you are saying here.

                    The problem with a cable is you can end up with a hairline crack from it being mistreated, as well as a manufacturing fault.

                    Frankly, I don’t have problems with Apple asking for a receipt, if you bought an accessory from somewhere else. i’m not sure why you would have an issue, if you’ve bought something legitimately? The more you cooperate the more likely you are to get them to do what you want them to do.

                    • @try2bhelpful: The 14 day issue was dead pixel on day 0. With retina display, it is hard to show dead pixel(s) sometimes. I did get it replaced, but it was a bit tedious.

                      Asking for a receipt was an iPhone.

                      • @netsurfer: I would the dead pixel was more the 2 year warranty period than 14 day return, Thanks for the clarification I was a tad confused. If you are talking about a phone I would expect you would’ve kept the receipt. I, generally, take photos of my receipts and offload them saves wondering where they are.

      • Wait, what are you transferring to an iPhone that needs faster data transfer rate. For sure you can always find better value phones that have better specs, software, ecosystem, and quality hardware is where iPhone beats our budget androids. I have iPhone 11 Pro and s22 just fyi.

    • +2

      I upgraded using this deal from an iPhone 6 16gb, which is just about to give up the ghost. I was tossing up between this and the iPhone SE 3 2022. But I passed on the 5G and went for the larger screen and wireless charging, among other things. I might use the store credit for a wireless charger. For my needs I can't justify spending any more than this for an iPhone. If this one last me as long as my iPhone 6 I'll be doing ok.

  • Would this be good for my 14 yr old boy for his birthday at the end of the year or will there be better deals by then?

    • +5

      I'd say price will drop on newer models by then

    • I'd say it's unlikely to get much cheaper than this and they will sell well at this price. Have rarely seen any new iPhone on sale for less than $700.

    • This is a great deal compared to the rest of the line-up, with the exception of the new iPhone SE.
      My partner bought one of these a few months ago as she's got no interest in spending $1k on a phone, and the camera and snappiness of the phone are great. It looks like the more expensive models too.

      There is a good chance that Apple will stop selling this model in September when they announce the new line of iPhone 14's etc, so if you're in no rush it probably won't hurt to wait and see. At worst the iPhone 11 will stay at around $699 on sale.

  • I have a spend $400 save $50 concierge code to use on top of the bonus store credit but not sure if i should.

  • +1

    Wow I've got an 11 Pro but chips the same. Still a solid phone, no plans to upgrade for another 2-3yrs I hope. Only Apple can ruin that with some BS.

  • Perfect timing for me as I've been meaning to upgrade from a fairly old SE.

  • Will we see $599 flat by the end of this month? A13 is still a very capable chip. Finally a modern iPhone at a reasonable price.

    • +3

      Amazon could further drop lower on prime day. Currently $647 on Amazon

      • +1

        That would be a ripper deal

      • +1

        I rekon an amazon iphone deal for prime day is likely, especially considering recent telstra day deals etc. Probably limited quantity though.

  • I wonder if the battery is still alive for those 3 years old phones.

    • +1

      I am pretty sure they were not made three years ago. With these sorts of deals the phones come with recent version of iOS.

      Apple probably still makes the phones for years after the new ones arrive. It’s their business model, multiple generations at different price points.

      • Just checked when my iphone 11 was manufactured. Surprisingly 55 days ago is when it was made

        • Yep, Apple fully amortises the phone costs while new at full price then they can sell them for years also at high profits to tightwads like me who won’t pay $1500 for a phone.

  • Still better than the Android crap that sell for a thousand at this current time.

  • deal is back
