Apple Discount Codes for April 2025

You can contact the Apple customer service team by calling 1300‑321‑456. Alternatively, you can visit the support page on the company's website.

University students, parents of university students and people working in education can get exclusive access to discounts and promotions over at the Apple Education site. Discounts are usually offered upfront through the Apple Education store, but there are also the occasional bundle deals to consider – usually around the back-to-school period in early January.

Generally speaking, you're going to be able to get a discount of anywhere between AU$50 to AU$200 off the current range of MacBooks and up to AU$90 off iPads. You can also take advantage of monthly payments with 0% interest and Apple trade-ins.

Officially all Apple products come with a one year warranty that covers "defects in materials and workmanship when used normally in accordance with Apple's published guidelines".

However, Australian Consumer Law grants statutory rights to consumers in Australia, and that applies to Apple products, too. This means that within the first two years of purchase consumers are entitled to a replacement or refund for major failures. And, under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010, consumers can request repair or replacement for products that are not of acceptable quality.

Apple doesn't directly offer a military discount in Australia. However, there are programs such as the Australian Partners of Defence (APOD) that partner with Apple to provide discounts to veterans, those currently serving in the ADF and their immediate families across different products at various times of the year.

Apple has an expansive trade-in program that can be used to get discounts on everything from the latest MacBooks to Apple Watches. You can trade in both Apple devices and third-party electronics to get significant discounts in the form of Apple store credit or Apple gift cards. Trading in can be particularly effective when upgrading to new Apple products as, generally speaking, even fairly old Apple products can fetch really decent trade-in values.

As of April 2025, the estimated trade-in credit on offer is up to AU$1,135 for the iPhone 15 Pro Max, AU$1,300 for the iPad Pro, AU$530 for the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and AU$880 for the MacBook Pro.

While Apple itself might not offer discounts or sales during peak trading times, several retail partners will. JB Hi-Fi, Amazon, The Good Guys and others all will provide significant discounts to Apple products on Black Friday and other events – just keep an eye on TechRadar to stay on top of the best deals, and use coupons to make sure you get the best bang for your buck.

The latest iPhone is the Apple iPhone 16e – a late addition to the iPhone 16 family that's comprised of the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. The iPhone 16e offers a small 6.1-inch display and the A18 chip, as does the standard iPhone 16. The Plus offers a large 6.7-inch display, while the 16 Pro reverts back to a smaller 6.3-inch screen – adding Apple A18 Pro chip – while the Pro Max combines power and size with the A18 Pro chip and a 6.9-inch display.

The two biggest upgrades for this generation of iPhone are the Camera Control button and Apple Intelligence – which is also available on the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max, which have been discontinued by Apple.

Technically, the cheapest iPhone you can buy right now is whatever the oldest model you can get your hands on. If you're willing to go second-hand or refurbished, you could pick up a dirt-cheap iPhone 8 or iPhone X. However, the cheapest iPhone that we would recommend in 2025 is the iPhone 13 thanks to its 5G connectivity and continued OS support for years to come. And, crucially, the iPhone 13 is very similar to the iPhone 14 – but considerably cheaper.

Also worth mentioning – though the iPhone 13 is the better choice for most people – is the 3rd generation iPhone SE. If you're looking for a super cheap iPhone, you can find a refurbished model for less than AU$300 – while a new model is available for less than AU$600 from retailers.

However, if you're working off a budget, but still want one of the better phones on the market, we'd point you towards the iPhone 16e. Apple's latest iPhone – and the phone that we thought would be the iPhone SE 4 (and kind of is).The 16e offers the excellent performance, Apple Intelligence and action button of the iPhone 16 family, with small concessions like no dynamic island and a fusion camera to reduce costs. Coming in at AU$999, it's not exactly cheap – but it is the best cheap iPhone.

Before the iPhone SE, the cheaper model of iPhone was the iPhone 5c – and the iPhone 16 has an all-new more affordable model that doesn't continue the naming convention of the SE and 5c.

For months leading up to its announcement, we had heard rumours of a new iPhone SE 4 that would even boast more power than the iPhone 15 – and the rumours were true. However, it's not the iPhone SE 4, it's the iPhone 16e.

Priced at AU$999, the iPhone 16e completes the iPhone 16 series – offering a near-flagship Apple experience with its 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display, aluminium build and IP68 durability. It even has the iPhone 16's Action Button, wireless charging and 26 hours of video playback on a single charge thanks to improved power efficiency provided by Apple's all-new C1 modem chip.

Some may argue an iPhone becomes outdated when a new one is released, but in reality that isn't true. We don't know how long Apple supports their phones, but the common thought is that it works out to be about seven years. Following that rule, the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max will be supported until 2028.

The iPhone 13 is probably the oldest iPhone we would comfortably recommend purchasing in 2025, and we even think it's a better option than the iPhone 14 – especially if you catch it when discounted.
