Telstras one-day flash sale sees the iPhone 12 mini down to AU$699, plus
other Apple and Samsung devices discounted.

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

Weve seen a number of discounts on the iPhone 12 range this year, but for one day only, Telstra is delivering some of the best yet. Telstras flash sale has brought the iPhone 12 mini down to just AU$699 , which is a massive saving of AU$500.

The rest of the range is discounted too, just not by quite as much. And if youre an Android fan, theres more good news the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra has also seen a AU$500 price cut , which brings the premium handset down to AU$1,348.

Youve got the choice of paying the device off over 12 or 24 months, or you
can choose to buy it outright. Theres a caveat here though to be eligible
for these discounts, youll need to pair the handset with a Telstra mobile
plan .

All of Telstras plans come with no lock-in contract though, so youre free to leave anytime (youll only need to pay out the remaining cost of the handset). That means you could connect to a plan for one month and then jump ship if
you choose.

And if youre happy with your smartphone, you can still take a look at some of the other Apple products that Telstras put on sale the iPad Air 4 is a particular highlight. Just remember that these deals are only available until midnight tonight (August 5).

iPhone 12 mini (64GB) | AU$1,199 AU$699 (save AU$500)

Wed argue that this is the best deal available from the entire sale. Telstra has slashed AU$500 off the iPhone 12 mini, meaning you can pick it up for
just AU$699 the lowest price weve ever seen. The iPhone 12 mini shares much of the same DNA with the regular iPhone 12, with the big exceptions being its petite 5.4-inch display and cheaper price.

If the 12 mini feels too small for you, Telstras also cut the price of the regular iPhone 12. Its had AU$400 shaved off the price, so you can nab the 64GB version of the handset for AU$949 outright. It has a 6.1-inch display thats clear and crisp, and its larger size means it fits in a bigger battery compared to the 12 mini, getting you more hours of screen time. Available in
a range of bright colours including red, green, blue, purple, white or black.

iPhone 12 Pro (128GB) | AU$1,699 AU$1,549 (save AU$150)

While the regular iPhone 12 has a youthful feel, the iPhone 12 Pro feels distinctly more mature in its black, gold, silver and navy blue colour choices. It has the same 6.1-inch OLED display as the regular model, but
youll find a third lens has been added to the back a telephoto camera. The discount isnt nearly as good here, but you can save AU$150 on the 12 Pro during Telstras sale.

iPhone 12 Pro Max (128GB) | AU$1,849 AU$1,699 (save AU$150)

The iPhone 12 Pro Max is Apples most premium handset, and Telstras taken AU$150 off the device. Its not the cheapest price weve seen with the lowest around AU$275 off but its really not a bad price if you want to pick it up now. This flagship phone comes with a bright 6.7-inch OLED display and a powerful camera array, though the camera specs are only marginally better
than the 12 Pro.

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

If you want the best that Samsung has to offer, youll want to check out the Galaxy S21 Ultra. It has a huge 6.8-inch screen, and were big fans of its 120Hz refresh rate. Its boasting five cameras and the best zoom on any
Android phone currently available too. Its quite a pricey phone, but Telstra has knocked an incredible AU$500 off the device in all colours.

Samsung Galaxy S21 (128GB) | AU$1,248 AU$998 (save AU$250)

Telstras also discounted the regular Galaxy S21, which is Samsungs
entry-level flagship phone. So while its not the best of the best, it still packs powerful cameras and great performance into a gorgeous new design. Overall, its a pleasure to use and a great choice for those who want premium features at an affordable price. Now just AU$998.

iPad Air 4 (2020, 64GB) | AU$1,099 AU$899 (save AU$200)

The iPad Air 4 is a stellar tablet, and it comes with plenty of features that were previously only available on the premium iPad Pro. Its almost entirely all-screen, with the powerful A14 Bionic chipset under the hood (the same
chip at the heart of the iPhone 12 range). The lowest weve seen the iPad Air
4 drop was AU$769 last month, but if youre looking to buy now, this discount is the best youll find. Available in all colours.

Apple AirPods with charging case (2019) | AU$249 AU$199 (save AU$50)

The Apple AirPods play best with other Apple devices, so if youre wanting a pair of true wireless buds to go with your iPhone, iPad or MacBook, theyre worth your consideration. Audio quality is fun and lively, though the bass
can be a little underwhelming. Telstra has taken AU$50 off the buds, though you can currently find them a little cheaper at Amazon , where they are AU$188. Best iPhone 12 plans
