I am not sure I have had my moneys worth out of my 13 Pro Max yet! I am keeping it at least another year. Plus that settlement figure makes me realise I much I still have to pay off
You and me both!!
My monthly payments with Barclays is £39.98 for my 13 Pro 128Gb so I'll be exactly half way through my contract come this September.
I highly doubt any new iPhone announced this year will cost less than this per month hence my choice to skip this year's upgrade (when I switched from the 12 to the 13, the cost of the 13 was actually less than the 12, so made sense to upgrade).

But I got £775 from venti so even made some money!I am not sure I have had my moneys worth out of my 13 Pro Max yet! I am keeping it at least another year. Plus that settlement figure makes me realise I much I still have to pay off
Wish I bought the 128GB.
The 512 is wasted on me. Don’t think I’ve even used more then 60GB!!!
My thinking was to keep the handset long term (which I still intend to do) and thought I would use it more for video etc. Maybe I got pulled into all the hype! Lol
...good job there's no hype train this year then (well, not until after the new phone is announced anyway!).
How quickly do you think Apple will implement any VAT decrease (the 5% decrease rumoured to possibly be implemented)? It should be straight away, right??
Looking to buy a M2 MBA, but hoping for a VAT decrease to save some money! lol

If it happens (the VAT decrees) it will happen everywhere at the same time. So wait if you can. But no guarantees it will happen at all.
I am just checking in with everyone. I didn't realise there was a UK thread here!
I suspect it's part of a certain individuals' sales patter for a particular audience. There are different rates for different things though, so I guess it's possible it could be used for certain sectors that are about to be hammered by high energy costs (pubs, hospitality etc). Personally I'd be surprised at it being used for expensive imports but life constantly surprises me these days...
So I purchased a new NAS for home in Feb this year. I used to have an 8 bay and I decided to downsize to a 4 bay instead, so sold the previous unit.
Purchased in Feb this year, with a warranty extension until Feb 2027, and it's been sat on my desk for several months switched off. Don't even use the thing any more!! Thinking of selling it now.......lol
If I sell that I'd sell my 10GBe switch along with it.......and then I have no need for the TB3 to 10GBe adapter I use as well....
Could put the money towards a MBA I'm planning to buy instead, and a couple of extra external USB backup drives......
Just came up with this idea tis morning......and I'm tempted to sell up!!!
It's been one of those things that's nice to have.....but then never used.......lol

I have lost count the amount of items I purchased believing them to be a good idea at the time…… only to find them in a drawer a year or so later never used.
If only Amazon sold Hindsight they would make a killing. 😉
Same, paid mine off about 8-9 years ago as well
Car was purchased up front. I don't believe it taking loans etc for anything other than a mortage, if I can help it!
Actually, tell a lie - only loan I have is my iPhone Barclays payments, which are interest free anyways....
I guess we can enjoy the extra few quid from interest on savings then!
Finished my mortgage about 10 years ago. But decided to take the plunge again for a better place three years ago. About 9 years left and 2 years fixed. So not too bad.
Also not one to borrow for anything else. Paid cash for my car as savings were so poor. Quite happy not paying petrol prices in my EV.

As for Savings:- I stuck a large sum in ZOPA 90 day pot. It’s currently running at 2.25% but hopefully will get another rise at the end of the month.
First Ive heard of Zopa.
Currently just have savings in my Natwest savings account - would be interested to hear what I could do with it!
I did try my hand at trading a few years back, but found it a little stressful when things don't go your way, so ended up pulling out!
