Yeah I though so too..
Although it might take some time for the new Nexus to be available in Australia.
Get the 6p.. It's a great phone for the money..
I'm forced to use a 6plus for my work and I really despise the thing. If you rely on the ecosystem of Apple then that's a different story altogether.
I got my 6p last week and am truly impressed with how smooth and fast it is, not to mention being able to tweak it as much as I want to to my preferences..
Music plays good on BT and wired, the camera does a good job, it connects great, the screen is down right beautiful and the speakers sound great..
It's not perfect for everyone but out of all the phones I have owned it strikes me as as the best overall phone you can buy, namely because of what you can do with it over the iPhone or the majority of other Androids available right now.
You can also wait it out and pay a lot more in a few months, but I think this phone will be around for some time.
You may not be into rooting and tweaking, and if you aren't, you should see for yourself what you can have running on it if you desire to.. That's one of its greatest assets...
So I say go for it..
