Description:
Telstra Day is back, and this time it's delivering huge discounts on iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches and more.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Were just one day away from the Apple Watch 7 becoming available, and that means deep discounts on the Apple Watch 6 are highly likely to arrive as
well. Telstra has done just that, and for this months Telstra Day, you can
get the Watch 6 for AU$509 thats a AU$240 discount off its usual retail price.

And of course, theres big savings on smartphones available today too. For the Android crowd, the schmick Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is now AU$500 off, while the iPhone 12 Pro is AU$350 off for the Apple faithful. These arent quite the lowest prices weve seen on these handsets, but its still a good deal, particularly if you dont want to fork out for the newest models.

The good news is, you dont need to pair any of these products with a Telstra mobile plan to score the discount from the online store either, as every device on sale can be purchased outright with the discount being applied at checkout. Of course, you do have the option of signing up for a Telstra plan as well, which will also let you pay the device off in monthly instalments.

Our top picks from the sale are below, just keep in mind the offers are only available until midnight tonight (October 7).

Apple Watch 6 (40mm, GPS + Cell) | AU$749 AU$509 (save AU$240)

With the Apple Watch 7 soon to be released, its great to see the Watch 6 with such a deep discount. The main factor to note is that the Watch 7 is only an incremental upgrade, with changes mostly coming to the screen (20% bigger,
70% brighter always-on display). So if thats not important to you, why not save AU$240 on the Watch 6 instead? This discounted 40mm model comes with GPS and cellular connectivity, but if youd prefer the 44mm case with GPS and cellular, its also on sale for AU$559 down from AU$799.

iPhone 12 Pro (128GB) | AU$1,699 AU$1,349 (save AU$350)

Now that the iPhone 13 Pro is available, Apple has discontinued the iPhone 12 Pro that came before it but its still available at certain retailers. It looks very similar to the newer phone at first glance, and it comes with mostly the same camera setup: a wide, an ultra-wide and a telephoto lens each with a 12MP sensor (though you'll be missing cinematic mode in the 12 Pro). The iPhone 12 Pro is still an excellent device, and its now AU$350 off at Telstra.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra (128GB) | AU$1,848 AU$1,348 (save AU$500)

If you want the best that Samsung has to offer, the Galaxy S21 Ultra is the phone for you. It has a huge 6.8-inch screen, five cameras and the best zoom on any Android phone currently available. Those features mean this is quite a pricey phone, but now you can buy it outright from Telstra at AU$500 off. Its worth noting that the Samsung Galaxy S22 range is expected early next year, but the S21 Ultra is the current cream of the crop.

iPad Air 4 (64GB, Wi-Fi + Cell) | AU$1,099 AU$999 (save AU$100)

The iPad Air 4 is a powerhouse tablet, with the kind of top-end specs that make it tricky to justify upgrading to the ultra-premium iPad Pro. So, if youre looking for the sweet spot between the extremes of Apples tablet
lineup, this is it. The display is 10.9-inches, and inside the chassis sits the A14 chipset (the same silicon that powers the iPhone 12 range). This
small AU$100 discount comes on the 64GB version, with Wi-Fi and cellular connection. Telstra NBN plans compared : every option from Australia's top telco
