$65 a month for 80gb

there is a month to month contract for $49 and $59, the $59 gives you 100gb 

how is this a credit offer when it seems like you would loose the $550 in either being locked in a contract that may get better if month to month and also the month to month provides more data. 

Being a contract you would think it would be cheaper than month to month so this should be around $50. difference of $15 x 24 months = $360

I am comparing my options, but calculations as I see it are

Assuming purchase of an iPhone 12 128GB memory @ $1429 or $59.54 per month ($59.52 at Optus)

$800 credit - (1429 - 800)/24 = $26.21 and similarly for$550 credit is $36.63

So sweet spot seems to be 24 month contract (if you don't mind a contract), 80gb, is cheaper over all by at least $255 total

Purchase At	Contract Term Months	credit	phone cost per month after credit	contract	data	month cost	24 month max cost	Note
Apple	24	$800	$26.21	$85	150GB	$111.21	$2669	Excludes international calls
Apple	24	$550	$36.63	$65	80GB	$101.63	$2349	Excludes international calls
Optus	1	$0	$59.52	$49	60GB	$108.52	$2604	Included international calls
Optus	1	$0	$59.52	$59	100GB (but double for first 12 months)	$118.52	$2844	Included international calls

This is misleading guys, Apple are not honouring this deal in store. They are only doing the $800 deal with new iPhone 12. I went in to get the $550 deal and was turned away. Very disappointed.

I went on chat to confirm it with Apple at www.apple.com/au/retail/

I have heard this is not being honoured in store.

Can you please confirm the $65 plan offer is valid?

Thanks

Does anyone know if this $550 credit deal can be used with the purchase of an iPhone cellular watch?
