Best Price on Apple iPhone 5s (16gb)

To get into the holiday spirit, we are starting a little game in the forum section. Each day, we will be posting a new product and invite our users to find the best price on the internet and report it on this thread. We ran this game a couple of years ago and not only it was great fun, it also helped people find great bargains on products and some of them were astonished to see how much they could save by just looking around a bit more.

Today's challenge is to find the best price for Apple iPhone 5s (16gb) outright.

Let's see who can find the best price for Apple iPhone 5s in Australia.

The 5s is at a premium, so no big discounts..... better chance getting a cheap 5c as they just aren't as popular so lots of stock. Can easily get them for under $600. Of course the new Nexus 5 is $399 plus shipping... ;-)

Yeah. If you want one NOW you may even have to pay more than from Apple simply due to demand and low stock...... If you're happy with a 5c then no problem..... ;-)

This looks dodgy. Whoever tells you to send order to an email address is trying to steal your money.

I would not even believe that price could be $369.

Decent price .. I thought it used to be a bigger gap bewteen aus rrp and grey stock, $50 is $50 but thought it would be more of a difference, i know it is bigger for android phones, maybe apple price difference has always been small...

Still high demand for the 5s and low stock so no real push to discount on the 5s. Will change eventually... but will never be a huge discount.....
