Australians can once again bag a bargain on popular Apple devices at Coles supermarkets as BOOST MOBILE – the world’s largest youth-focused telco brand, announces a range of Back to School deals available in Coles Supermarkets nationally from next Wednesday the 26th of January. This includes high quality refurbished iPhone 8s (64GB) for $279 and iPhone XR’s (64GB) for $499, representing significant reductions both original RRPs.
High quality refurbished iPhones and iPads from Boost Mobile have proven to be ongoing popular items for customers, most recently being one of the hotter items in its pre-Christmas sales. Coles Supermarkets has been partnering with Boost Mobile to sell this high-end technology at great value prices since November 2020, with Boost Mobile able to secure additional stock of two highly sought-after Apple models in time for some great back to school bargains.
The iPhone 8 will be on sale for $279, a saving of $150 off its usual refurbished RRP. It features a 12MP back camera, 7MP selfie camera and a range of other smart features including fingerprint scanning and Siri smart assistant. The iPhone 8 has a glass back allowing for wireless charging and ‘True Tone’ technology to react to and edit the display’s colour balance depending on environmental light.
The iPhone XR takes these features yet another step further, being offered by Boost Mobile at Coles for $499. While both phones have the same resolution cameras, the XR uses more advanced software such as its A12 Bionic Chip to develop better photos and can record 4k videos at 24/30/60fps and 1080p videos at 30/60/120/240fps. It also features a larger 6.1-Inch Liquid Retina Display and Aluminium and Glass Design with a wider range of Colour Finishes. Smart features such as Siri are added to with Face ID and Advanced Camera Systems to unlock your phone.
The phones are unlocked but is bundled with a Boost Mobile starter SIM for a quick and convenient option. Customers can choose to bundle this further value offerings from Boost operating on the Full Telstra 4G Mobile Network, with $10 off a $30 Recharge when purchased with any iPhone in the same transaction in-store. Or choose between a range of other great offers that suit them from 7 day, 28 day and long-expiry recharges via the My Boost Mobile App. Customers can bring their number or get a new one as they choose.
Peace of mind comes from a rigorous 72-point inspection process that each refurbished iPhone undergoes by Boost Mobile to ensure that every device is genuine and in excellent aesthetic and functional condition. All phones are Australian compliant, have been data-wiped and are cross-checked against a national police lost and stolen database. These phones also come with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee and 12-month warranty for additional peace of mind.
Boost Mobile is a leader in the refurbished smartphone market. Boost Mobile’s partnership with Coles underlines both companies’ shared commitment to delivering value for customers while improving sustainability outcomes by extending the useful life of high-quality technology. This remains front of mind for both Coles and Boost as they renew this focus with yet another exciting offering being rolled out nationally.
“We know that smartphones are a very common talking point for families as they prepare to send kids to school, and refurbished iPhones continue to prove extremely popular with parents and kids alike. If a family decides it is time for their child to have a phone to keep them safe and in contact, we are proud to be able to deliver Aussie families great value handsets and data plans on the biggest network,” said General Manager of Boost Mobile, Jason Haynes.
“We have seen such a fantastic response from our customers every time we have offered refurbished smartphones through Boost Mobile and we anticipate this drop, just in time for Back to School, to be no different,” said Coles Business Category Manager Richard Jenkins.
“We’re proud to offer our customers a high-quality, well-priced mobile offering through refurbished iPhone 8s and iPhone XRs at a time when household expenses are typically higher. We know that these refurbished iPhones sell out extremely quickly, so we advise customers to get in early to avoid disappointment.”
