You can (sort of) buy an iPhone through Woolworth’s mobile now

Woolworths Mobile has a new offer that lets you grab any available iPhone and get a discount on plan costs, even though Woolies doesn't actually sell iPhones.

Telco providers have done a lot over the years to minimise pain points for consumers. Nowadays signing up to a new plan takes as little as a few clicks, or a quick conversation over the phone or in store. But because Woolworths doesn’t stock and sell iPhones directly, there’s a few more hoops to jump through to score this offer.

Firstly, customers will need to visit the Woolworths Mobile website and sign up for a 12-month SIM only plan, then follow a unique link to the Apple Store, where the iPhone purchase will be completed.

Once a customer has successfully navigated this online obstacle course, they will receive 50% off plan fees for three months; a discount of up to $75.

Prepaid customers who pick up an iPhone through Woolies won’t get any cost reductions, but they are eligible for a $25 eWish gift card.

Here are all the Woolworths Mobile 12 month SIM plans.

Anyone buying an iPhone through Woolworths Mobile also gets a one-year subscription to Apple TV+, though this offer isn't unique to the retail giant. Anyone buying an iPhone or iPad from any store can take up the same promo. 

A maximum of $75 off plan fees is isn’t a huge discount for a $1,000+ handset, and a 12-month phone plan, but a discount is a discount nonetheless. If you’re planning on buying an iPhone outright, then Woolies is a solid choice of provider to pair it with.
