Optus’ Black Friday deals include a $499 iPhone

Optus' annual Black Friday sale has deep discounts on handsets this year. 

The most eye-catching deal is a 50% discount on the iPhone 16e, bringing down its price to just $499 for a 128GB model. This is available to anyone who buys the phone on either a 36-month or 24-month plan. This works out to be a $13.88 per month discount on a 36-month plan, or a $20.82 discount on a 24-month plan.
