What I want
1. Jet Black PLus 256gb on apple upgrade programme pronto (or ideally before i need to send my 6s to Envirofone ) and stick with a cheapish sim only plan. Will drop increased iCloud storage and get all music and photos back on phone so Apple Music streaming does not cause me to go over my 3MB data allowance some months
What I have:
1. An instore reservation for a Gold 256 7 plus on launch day/16th (reserved at around 8.30am this morning to purchase on upgrade prog) but am
really not keen on the white bezel
2. a Jet Black 128gb order direct from Apple on PayPal credit (4 months 0%) delivers November
3. a Jet Black 128gb upgrade via EE delivers in next 2 weeks £65.99 per month (same £49 upfront as AUP)
I currently pay around £22 per month on sim only contract and I have £450 trade in money (which essentially means I can cover the 10 or so months of apple upgrade payments without increasing my monthly outgoings which is my objective).
Taking the colour out of the equation (but not entirely)............... for around the same extra monthly payment I can either have:
1. Via Apple upgrade I get a 256gb with ample storage and Apple Care (do have insurance via bank but £100 excess).
2. Via EE I only get a JET BLACK 128gb but with plenty data for streaming and get option to upgrade after 12 months (like Apple Care so then doesn't matter that it is locked) but I still have another 12 months of the contract at £65.99 pm
It looks a little bit like am going back to contracts at the moment
