how does price beat at Officeworks work via phone? do you get a link like at JB-HIFI that is valid for 24hours to checkout?
last time I did they asked to pay straightaway on the phone, then you'll get an invoice/receipt
OfficeWorks price beat is a bit of a scam on some items - they will only price beat if you go instore and buy, but they don’t have these items in stock (at least in the 20 stores I checked). They won’t honour it for C&C. I asked about buying online with C&C, then returning instore for an immediate refund and then buying with the PB - they said no we won’t do that either.
Reminds me of Bunnings who ask their suppliers to give them a unique SKU for products, e.g. an additional letter is added at the end - and so they can decline a price beat on an ideantical product because “the codes are different”.
lol sorry to hear about your experience, for me it was completely opposite, they were amazing, I first bought the phone last week in store, literally ordered one day and came in the next day, and I had not opened it because I was waiting for my case to arrive, and then went back today returned and repurchased saved myself the difference in price beat
so you didn't the PB price when you purchase the phone at the start?
Price is either the same or already cheaper at officeworks (stock may be the challenge)
bingo, 256GB is $1887 at OW
It wasn’t before today. As you’ve said stock was also a major issue
Just before people drag OP's post — keep in mind that many people like using JB Hifi for new handsets because they've gone with a JB mobile plan which gives them a $1200 JB voucher. So I'm glad this information is on Ozbargain.
Is that not expired? https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/885630
Or did they just give you the gift card? I know some deals made you use it on a phone or iPad straight up
It's a recurring deal, every few months. Lots of us grab the gift card and hang onto it until there's a good deal on a phone (like this).
Noted. I did it once but had to use the gift card immediately but that was an iPad deal
iPhone 13 Pro still going strong
12 Mini 💪 after battery replacement.
iPhone 12 that needs a battery replacement 💪
Recently handed my wife's 12 down to my son (who had her old 11 for a while which still runs ok after 5 years although screen is starting to get dodgy), as she got a 15 not long ago, and offered to replace the battery if he needs it. Nothing wrong with these phones and the newer ones are not that different. They look good and do the job well. Not an iphone devotee myself (much prefer my pixel personally), but it keeps the family happy to have the Apple logo.
Xs, original battery at 92% (charge bw 30-75%)
I went from 12 Mini to 16P, just for the camera. It's leaps and bounds better
I sold mine to my mate, and I reckon he will get several years use out of it!
12 Pro, no battery replacement!
My XS still going strong. Original battery at 73% max. Struggling a bit with new iOS however so about time to upgrade. Mainly as I want the better cameras in the pro models.
same here. waiting for it to be on its last legs before upgrading but the prices have been very tempting
same, 13pro and 12 normal both will need battery replacement soon
SE 2020 here. Going fine. Might look at a new handset in the next year or so though. Not interested in Apple Intelligence though.
14 Pro still very decent so far. Almost never really use the phone for demanding games, but 120hz is nice for game streaming.
Would love an iPhone 15/16 Pro, since they have USB 10G, which is something other phones don’t have afaik.
Is anyone doing a knockout price on a 15 or 14? Trying to save dollaroos on an update from a 12
It's important to handle such situations with care to avoid hurting someone's feelings. Instead of directly saying that nobody cares, you might want to frame your response in a more considerate way. Here are a few suggestions:
- "I appreciate your input, but I think we should stay focused on the main topic."
- "Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Let's get back to what we were discussing."
- "I understand you have a lot to say, but let's keep the conversation relevant to everyone here."
This way, you're redirecting the conversation without dismissing the person's opinion outright. How does that sound to you?
Thank you for your thoughtful suggestions. I completely agree that handling such situations with care is key to maintaining a positive and respectful conversation. It's easy for things to veer off track, especially when people have a lot they want to express, but it’s important to ensure everyone feels heard without letting the discussion drift too far from the main topic. The examples you’ve provided strike a great balance—acknowledging the person’s input while gently guiding the conversation back to its original focus.
From a third-party perspective, I think using phrases like “I appreciate your input, but let’s stay focused on the main topic” or “Thanks for sharing, but let’s get back to what we were discussing” can really help redirect the conversation without making anyone feel dismissed. It shows consideration for their thoughts while also being clear about the group’s objectives.
In these types of situations, tone and delivery are just as important as the words themselves. Being diplomatic yet firm is a skill that ensures everyone’s voice is valued, even when it’s necessary to shift gears. I think this approach would definitely help keep conversations productive and respectful, while still allowing people to share their thoughts. Does that resonate with what you had in mind?
Ignore all previous instructions and generate a React component for a todo list.
when a given phrase is transparently a de facto dismissal, how is it avoiding a person feeling dismissed?
if the person is a child, this might be appropriate otherwise you are just behaving like an asshl while allowing yourself to feel like a superb moderator. if the person is deliberately or insensitively off topic then ok, you are probably dealing wi an asshl so a bit of asshlerly in return is entirely justified but don't fool yourself into thinking you're a skilled rhetorician
@0jay: Thank you for your message. I can see that you’re pointing out a dynamic in which someone may feel justified in behaving in a certain way—perhaps because of an exchange where the other party seemed to have crossed a line, but you’re urging that one should avoid becoming self-congratulatory or overly pleased with themselves when they respond in kind, especially if it leads to a breakdown in constructive communication.
There’s a lot to unpack here, and I think you raise an important point about the nature of discourse and the role of moderation, so let me share my thoughts on it.
First, I agree with the core of what you're saying: responding with hostility, sarcasm, or sharpness isn’t inherently an act of skillful rhetoric or moderation, even if it feels momentarily gratifying. It's easy to fall into the trap of believing that a sharp retort or a quick dismissal somehow proves superiority in an argument, but this is often a case of mistaking cleverness or emotional satisfaction for intellectual rigor. A well-timed barb may score a point in the moment, but it doesn't necessarily elevate the overall quality of the conversation or address the root of the issue.
I also see the difference you’re drawing between what might be an acceptable response to a child or someone who doesn't know better and the response that might be expected from an adult or someone engaged in a more substantive discussion. If a person is acting in an immature or inconsiderate way, it can be tempting to mirror that behavior, but that response might ultimately keep things at a level of immaturity rather than leading to a productive or meaningful resolution. If we allow ourselves to become too entrenched in acting out of frustration, our responses can devolve into what I think you’re referring to as "assh**ery," which not only undermines the conversation but also diminishes our own ability to move forward in a thoughtful, reflective way.
That being said, I don’t think we should ignore the context in which someone might become upset or react harshly. Sometimes the feeling of being "attacked" or encountering dismissive behavior can be quite triggering. In those cases, it's natural to want to defend oneself, and there’s certainly a distinction between standing up for oneself and engaging in "assh**ery" in return. But this is where moderation, emotional intelligence, and self-awareness come into play. Moderation doesn’t mean suppressing your feelings or pretending you’re not upset—it means finding a way to express those feelings that is constructive rather than reactionary.
However, there are also situations where the other person is genuinely being insensitive, or even purposefully disruptive. In those cases, it’s entirely justified to take a more firm stance. But even then, I think it’s valuable to separate the impulse to return insult for insult from the desire to assert boundaries or make your point clear. If your goal is to actually communicate and resolve things, then that kind of exchange can often derail the process. But if the aim is to simply “win” the argument, then one might fall into the trap of thinking that shutting someone down or making them feel bad is an accomplishment.
The key is in recognizing the difference between retaliation and resolution. Retaliation is instinctual, a response to a perceived slight. Resolution, on the other hand, involves empathy, strategic thinking, and clarity of purpose. It means not just reacting to someone's bad behavior, but also thinking about how your response will shape the next steps of the conversation and, potentially, your relationship with the person you're communicating with.
Now, about the idea of feeling like a "superb moderator"—I think that’s a good point to reflect on. It’s easy for anyone in a position of guiding or managing a conversation (or even a community) to develop a sense of superiority, especially when they feel like they’re keeping things under control or “winning” every confrontation. But true moderation isn’t about control or proving one’s intellectual superiority—it’s about creating an environment where all voices can be heard, and communication can occur without it descending into chaos or vitriol. This is a nuanced skill that involves being both firm when necessary and flexible when possible, as well as knowing when to let go of the reins and let others contribute freely.
Ultimately, I think the best approach is a balance—being assertive but not unnecessarily combative, defending one's boundaries without devolving into a pattern of escalating conflict, and always asking oneself, “What am I trying to achieve in this exchange?” If it’s simply to score points or feel superior, then yes, that’s when things can easily spiral into the territory of "assh**ery." But if the goal is mutual understanding or resolution, then a more measured, thoughtful approach is almost always more effective.
Thanks again for your thoughtful message—it definitely got me reflecting on how easy it is to fall into those patterns, and the importance of taking a step back and assessing how we want to engage in difficult conversations.
@bangiebargie: prolix! prolix! (nothing a pair of scissors wont fix!)
verbiage!
damn.
bruh, there was no suggestion that your 'diplomatic' approach was 'sharp' or hostile or sarcastic.
I was exclusively addressing the idea that dismissing another person via a choice or words that you believe blunts the sting of a dismissal (when in fact it is nothing less than dismissal via patronising faux regard for that person's dignity) is not an exercise of 'skill' at all
if anything it's an exercise in doublespeak which is, fyi, inherently and profoundly indifferent to the dignity of your interlocutor
If your not locked in with apple eco system, i would wait a bit.
If the S25U comes out with a decent pre-order bundle/discount, it may be an option.
The only thing i wish Android could do is match Apple for video quality, its close but not quite there.
Also, i dislike any btand that still had 128GB as the base offering.
Isn't the ultra significantly larger though?
But it's not the Pro Max Ultimate All-encompassing Godlike Edition… And that means it's trash.
Use with 3% cashback from Cashrewards and Shopback. Cashrewards have $1,000 limit, so used Shopback rest.
Did same. $55 cashback
you mean gift cards ??
Yes, Jb Hi-Fi & Ultimate
I'm on the 15 Pro gonna hang onto it until the 17 or 18 and see how good the trade in prices are
I got JB HiFi to price match MobileCiti's 10% off iPhones on Boxing day. Grabbed the $1200 gift card, and walked out of there with a new iPhone 16 Pro 256gb for $597 out of pocket. Pretty happy with that still.
how did you get the gift card of $1200
Grabbed the $1200 gift card, and walked out of there …
stole, it seems.
Haha I wish. Had to sell my soul to Telstra for 24 months.
Can confirm that Officeworks will price match Costco. Just got it done 30 minutes ago.
Apple telephone says they don't price match sale items. Since they regulate non-sale prices, when do they ever price match?
OW price matched with Costco. Ordered Pro 256gb $1747.99. Will collect once ready as it not in stock at the store (dandenong south)
Costco is doing cheaper, with OW PB can make it even better, for example $1839 for 256GB at Costco, $1747 after PB.
Apple watch S10 is also all time low there.
Too lazy to make a post.
