So does that mean that you are just committing to your existing plan for a further 24 months and, if you change to another provider before the end of that term, then you just pay the $600 back?

Yes, and yes (I assume). Though maybe the pay-back amount reduces over time? I haven't read the small print because I'm more than happy on the One Plan, so no plans to move elsewhere.

Nah, it’s a credit spread over 24 months (so $25/month). All that happens if you churn, or downgrade your plan, is the credit drops off.

turtleattacks: Wonder how much the iPhone 15 Pro Max will depreciate next year when the 16 is out.

$500? $600?

I’d say the same amount as the 14 does when then 15 launches…

We aren't talking about Samsungs lol

iPhones barely depreciate at all. Lets look at the 14 pro max for instance now the 15 pro max has launched. RRP for the 14 pro max is $2199 the cheapest you can buy one right now is $2098 at PB according to pricespy. Coincidentally thats the same price they have been on special for throughout the year.

The will go end of line soon and you may see some deals lower than that but in general most models only drop $100 to $200 max.

As a long time Apple user, one thing I can say for sure is that their stuff holds far more value when the time comes to sell than pretty much anything else, whether you’re talking about computers or phones.

Sure you pay up front but you do at least get a good amount back. Not many PCs will sell for half what you paid for them after being used for 5 years.

I'm just wondering for the iPhone 16 launch and I sell the iPhone 15 Pro Max (RRP $2499) - for say $2000

Does this mean it'll be a free iPhone for me to use for a year with no depreciation? (Of course, minus the $60 plan upgrade from my current $35)

I’ve had a change in plans, I just hopped down to a One store to confirm I would get $1400 instead of $1000 trade in for my 13 PM - just waiting til they have some in stock 😊.

$600 depreciation in 24 months is very very good.

Spark appears to offer a trade in scheme. The website implies that you can ascertain whether your phone is eligible and approximately how much in advance online. However there’s no actual way I can see to do that.

Looks like it's an in-store effort: https://www.spark.co.nz/shop/trade-in/

So no estimate of what your trade-in gets you until you have already bought a new phone? That is useless, Spark!

Vodafone have had a value estimator for their trade-in deals. You enter the model, age and answer a few questions and get an estimate. Much better.

Can those who have pre-ordered let the rest of us know when their phones have shipped?

Also what are the chances mine ships by Friday, ordered a 256gb Pro Max Natural Titanium from 2Deg on Tuesday afternoon....

Has anyone who pre-ordered the iPhone 15 from Spark heard back yet? Spark does not have any update on their website, and still shows the same message "Pre-order now to receive it from 22 Sep 2023.".

At least Vodafone and 2degrees have updated their website to say that some models are in higher demand and could ship out after 6 weeks.

I haven’t had any communication from Spark, but I had to go in store the day pre-orders opened and the guy looked mine up and said it’d ship in 5 days (which works out to be Thursday). This was for a 256gb pro in black which was ordered at 6:45am. Unsure how reliable his data is though, I guess we’ll find out tomorrow.
