      I think their general policy now is that they can price beat against Costco but I guess YMMV.

      Yeah, everytime i've tried they've said Costco doesn't count as its a members only price. :(

      • ern123 on 07/10/2024 - 11:16

        Yes, I had no trouble with price beating Costco, they just checked Costco website to make sure the 16 pro 128 go was in stock , with the same color, and they took another 5% off Costcos cheaper price. So basically I got 10 discount on the phone. Didn’t worry about gift cards as there was only one in stock and I was unsure if Macquarie market place gift cards are received as soon as you purchase them.

    • Higibbo on 02/10/2024 - 10:48

      I was told No at checkout a few weeks ago (for A55) asked her to double check and she was told ok to price beat.

  • Gavman on 01/10/2024 - 09:54

      Officeworks Campbelltown just price beat a base iPhone16 128GB white in person for me… $1282.49 paid. Click and collect as many stores don’t have it in stock.

    • lordstark on 01/10/2024 - 15:18

      confirmed, i did same last week at OW in melbourne. $1282 for base iphone 16. The OW staff member only checked which colours are in stock in Costco (eg. they wouldn't give Ultramarine if Costco is out of stock). PB is only for exact same colour, so got Teal model. Staff did not ask me for my Costco card (which i carried anyways).

      Great phone for the price. Just the camera and video experience is worth it for socials, no need to buy a Fujifilm X100V or whatever is the hype today, if youre targeting socials or Whatsapp.

    • dsvid on 01/10/2024 - 18:13

      thanks, I called and managed to get the same! Couldn't get the Black or Ultramarine since they were out of stock at Costco, but managed to get the Teal for $1282

    My 12 pro max still running strong. No reason to truly upgrade yet. (I have an slr camera for pictures, 60hz is fine for me). Battery at 78% health which isn't ideal, but I usually have a 6000mah magsafe battery pack with me, and worst case can pay some phone kiosk to pop in a new one. Can anyone convince me otherwise?

      Just get a new battery for the 12 max and you won't have to carry around that battery pack.

      • FrugalFranky on 03/10/2024 - 11:07

        I will once thing get annoying for me. For now, it's easy to find charging really anywhere, with the battery pack as backup for longer periods (ie hikes) where I won't have charging.

    • FOX on 01/10/2024 - 16:14

      Not worth it unless you really need the additional computing power. Carrying a battery pack is hardly a real inconvenience.

  • squaredonut on 01/10/2024 - 12:51

    They really need to have moved to 120hz.

      That doesn't sound true at all. Apple is a very firm take it or leave it stance in their stores.

      • kaleidoscope on 01/10/2024 - 13:54

        They match with other local stores unless its marked for clearance or attached to any special promos. But surprising to hear if they did any matching to costco which requires membership

      • stuarty9 on 01/10/2024 - 14:41
        +4

        Why on earth would I lie about that?

        In fact, I got it price matched on two iPhones 16 Pro’s (on different days).
        On the invoice comes up as “promotional savings”.
        At first they said no, and I asked why and was advised that they could do so.

        • LanceVance on 01/10/2024 - 15:20
          +1

          Fair enough, assumed it was more a mistake than a lie. Things must've changed as I'd had a response from Apple along the lines of "Well walk down to JB and get it for $50 less then" several years ago.
          Anyway, my bad and good to know!

        • ern123 on 01/10/2024 - 17:18

          Wanting the 16 pro myself. If you don’t mind what price did you get it for from apple? I just looked on the Costco site and didn’t see the pro.

          • stuarty9 on 01/10/2024 - 18:25

            @ern123: Got the 16 Pro Max 256 for $2079.99 (Price match from Costco).
            All I did was ring Apple support and they price matched and I picked up in store..
            Looks like Costco has all Pro’s for ~$70 discount.
            16 Pro 256gb is $1929.99.
            Just google whatever phone you want and put Costco on the end and you should get the price.

            For what it is worth I am not a Costco member, nor did they ask.

            • ern123 on 01/10/2024 - 20:29

                @Partypants: Wondering the same thing,guessing not. I was looking for the 16pro but not listed as available. However if anyone has had a go and maybe gotten lucky please let me know

                  That’s all i did, twice.

                  All you can do is try

              • stuarty9 on 02/10/2024 - 14:30

                @yummypinacolada: In my experience, jb and apple don’t price match Costco. Only Officeworks.

                @yummypinacolada: Sounds like many have been unable to get it price matched. Maybe I was lucky getting it price matched twice.
                When they originally said no, I asked why and the CS opp went away for 5mins and came back and said she could.
                Sorry it hasn't worked for you..

    • JimB on 16/10/2024 - 11:46

      Quite lucky.

      I called up and asked and they said no. Operator advised he had that query before and even his manager couldn't approve it.

  • bwatt72 on 01/10/2024 - 14:06

    Myself and wife have iPhone SE 2nd gen we are looking to treat ourselves to iPhone 16 or older 15 or 14 if price is right.
    We use boost as our phone provider and prefer not to have contracts.

    What’s the big differences with the 16, 16 plus, and pro max?
    Maybe the basic iPhone 16 is enough? Or worth the upgrade?

    I don’t see much deals on the 15 or 14 have they already come and gone as some are close price currently to the 16

    • shroomish on 01/10/2024 - 15:16

      16 has the AI capabilities.

    • FOX on 01/10/2024 - 16:21

      If you've gotten used to a SE then anything bigger in size is a big upgrade.
      I'm in the exact same boat as you and have been waiting for a deal for anything for or above the 13.

      The main difference between the models in the 16 is display size and battery. But even the basic 16 would beat the stuff out of the SE 2nd gen in all aspects, unless you prefer the SE's smaller form factor.

      I'll keep waiting until something comes up. Not keen on contracts either but may have to settle if nothing better comes up.

      • bwatt72 on 01/10/2024 - 16:27

    Apple (un)Intelligence requires more RAM (6GB not enough for last year's 15 & plus;) That's why even 2y older & much cheaper Galaxy phones have FREE→♥ AI now as Samsung was generous with RAM (more memory is also required for split/multi-window parallel/backgrouind processing ;).

    If you know someone who works at Apple, I think the friends and family discount is 15%. So a 128GB plus model is ~$1360.

    is the chip in this better than the 15 pro max? i haven't looked at any comparison charts

    • srhardy on 09/10/2024 - 06:42

      Simple answer is the 15pro&15proMax both have 8gb and so qualify for Apple intelligence that the 16 (across the board) support. It’s just a newer spin with tweaks so while not technically identical I can’t think that you wouldn’t be able to ever tell the difference outside of a benchmark and even then it’s just a tad better. The ONLY thing the 16 has is the additional shortcut camera button that’s all. Camera improvements are minimal and both have pro motion 120hz capabilities. An upgrade would be more a want than a need and you can easily go another cycle without any meaningful noticeable loss what so ever! Side by side you wouldn’t know which was which and in daily use they are fundamentally the same as all the camera functions work without the new (badly placed IMO) shortcut-camera-key

    “Thanks for contacting us and yes we do Price Beat with Costco.

    Our Price Beat Guarantee (PBG) means that if you find a lower priced identical item that's in stock with a competitor, we will not only match it, we'll beat it by 5%.

    Our guarantee applies to identical products with identical warranties that are:
    - stocked at Officeworks
    - in stock at our competitor; and
    - not excluded from the PBG (see below).

    How can you tell if the product is identical? Make sure the model and part numbers on the competitors website match what we have listed on our website.

    Don’t think so. Officeworks checked Costco website to check both available and colour match. Had to be identical,while I was there.
