Aucklandjafa: Spark’s $400 off offer is pretty impressive - don’t think I’ve ever seen that promo for a launch offer


Nothing that 36 months on a high $ plan isn't paying for.

My IFP is over 12 months and I’m already on the $85 plan ($68/month after my 20% team up discount). So yeah, I am getting $400 off my device.

No trade-in boost or $500 off on 2degrees business plans.

$500 deal on 2d is only for $60 consumer plans.

Yeah, it also requires you to move to 2degrees. I’m better off handing my 12 pro down to another family member - still got a tonne of life left in it!

Available for existing connections but you don’t get the discounted monthly plan.

Do the stores have display models now that pre-orders are open? or do they have to wait until they receive a shipment, before they are able to do a display model? 

 

 

 

i was hoping to go see the titanium in person- I've pre-ordered a Blue, but unsure of my decision.

2D recently forced me to upgrade to this plan from an older cheaper one, and as I qualified for the $500 off I decided to buy a standard 15 for my birthday on 23rd. That will be a nice upgrade from my iPhone 8 which I purchased 2nd hand and I have only purchased SE’s new in the past. I tend to spend my $ on iPads, AirPods, and apple watches instead.

 

I also like how you can get over 12M term, pay $529 up front, and the discount remains after 9 months.

 

It was almost 1am before I finished my order as after paying the workflow was odd and it was asking me to pay again, but I could see the funds had been debited and I did get an order confirmation email. Phoned them this morning to make sure it went through ok.

 

i have family sharing on my plan as well and my mother in law got a text saying it was no longer active so I need to check that with 2D once I can be bothered going on hold. The App indicates it’s still functioning.

They won't be on display until the release date sadly, so Friday 22 September.

Missed the start of preorder last night - what a mistake. Estimated shipping now end of November!

To be very honest there is negligible difference between the 15 PM and my current 13 PM. I will wait and see if the periscope makes an appearance next year :)

I was surprised that 2d did the $500 off for current customers as well.  

 

On the 2d side you also need to remember that you can only get tradein boost etc once every 12 months.

Do the carriers have any indication how much stock they will be getting at launch? It seems they are accepting pre-orders but have no delivery estimate other than "shipping from 22 Sep".

So I’m probably getting the 15 pro max, but actually at the moment I am wondering if anyone has seen any good post-event discounts on older models?(for my parents)

 

Been eyeing up the iPhone 11, but so far haven’t spotted any discounting vs the pre-event pricing ($799 for the 64Gb model). 

 

anyone else seen any good deals on iPhone 11 or 12 now that they are end of line?

I just ordered my 15 pro max natural 256g from a 2degrees shop. They said that I should have it within the first week from the 22nd. I was quite surprised as on the apple site, it is already at 7-8 weeks.

It will come when it comes.Will be awesome to get it by the end of the month but not holding hope.
