Telstra are using covid as an excuse to cut costs, spoke to a guy in WA business said they put off 150 there as was too expensive to set them up to WFH with computers/screens etc when covid started. WA Perth had hardly any cases lol.
Got a tip for us?

I had to take them to TIO on 1/9 only just got resolved today with a $350 credit on my account. Best way to deal with them they soon look after you.
I cancelled my pre order since I can pick it up tomorrow (Vic Metro) in store rather than waiting another 1-2 weeks.
Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense that ordering right on launch is such a disadvantage. I gave up.

Did exactly that as well, picking up tomorrow(from Victoria metro) and was too excited during pre-order that I forgot I had EPP. Re-purchased those accessories at a saving of 8%.

I went into Apple Highpoint today to pick up my online order - arrived 30 min earlier than my scheduled pickup time but they let me in anyway. I was out of there in another 15 min!
Bunch of people in the other queues for Genius Bar and repairs.

Try Pack and Send ( if available in your area), Aus post and others in my experience are reluctant/unable to send o/s because of batteries.
I sent an iPhone to England using Pack and Send and they were good, no issues at all, not cheap though from memory.

Try Pack and Send, I sent an iPhone with them to England ( not sure about Denmark or available in your area) a while back and they were good, not cheap from memory though.
Other companies are reluctant/ unable to do so, because of the batteries in some devices.
Did anyone go to a store in Sydney for launch day. Any need to get there super early to line up?
I want to go to a store on launch morning for 12 Pro Max. Probably Hornsby or Charlestown to avoid having to go right into the city.

Yeah, I did that last year - went to the Apple Broadway store though on my way to the office. Got there 30mins before opening and there was a queue already. Ended up going to jbhifi next door and picking up one instead.. no queue there and I was first in.
No point get your knickers in a twist, very little point releasing anything, as they won't be any different to the ones for the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro. To think otherwise is folly.
what do you mean, the plans are the same as now, you just dived the cost of the phone by 24 months and pick the size plan you want.
Stay at home, order online, and by doing that, you are respecting your community and it's citizens by staying safe. This COVID thing isn't going anywhere fast.
Life has to go on and things are very good in NSW!
I need to go in store as I am using a card to get interest free payments which can only be done in store.
I phoned a couple of stores. They register you and only let a certain number of people in at a time. Can go to the store while still staying covid safe 🤟🏽
I wouldn't say 'very good in NSW', let's not get complacent. Even if we had a vaccine tomorrow, it'll take at least 12 months before we are at a point where it's working, and those at most risk are safe.
Drama queen , there is 0 COVID outside of Sydney In NSW.
So, how do we know the handset costs that the telcos charge on top of the plans for the max pro? It will be higher then the 12 and pro....
