The best Australian EOFY tech deals

Tax-time sales are here again. The end of the financial year is often when retailers try and get rid of aging stock or work overtime to reach sales targets, with the result being massive discounts on a range of products – from cars to home appliances and plenty in between.

The TechRadar team is here to help you find the best tech products on sale for the cheapest prices, handpicked to make it easier for you to find your newest toy.

Note that some of the offers on our list end before 30 June, but we’ll keep this story continuously updated to include any new deals we find between now and the EOFY to help you snag the best bargains.

And don’t forget, we’re still collecting the best non-EOFY tech deals over here, so take a squiz to find more of our hand-picked bargains!
