I still use two phones rather than physical and eSIM, there is something about work stuff going to my “usual” phone that annoys me.
Yeah I totally get this. I try to keep my work and personal lives as separate as possible otherwise I feel I’d never be able to “switch off”.

My work implemented BYOD, and I’m not buying an extra phone just for work. I ignore calls and notifications from work when I finish the day, unless it’s urgent, they can call me on my personal number. No one has ever used the ICE section to contact me.

I spent two hours stuck on a live chat with Vodafone, expressed to them my disappointment about that. I managed to £25 off my next bill and only paying £46 now for the iPhone 12 pro graphite with 48gb data. Chuffed about that

thats £5pm for the data plan assuming you’re paying the full 999 for the phone over 24 months? Or did you have a trade in?

website even as an existing customer is saying £66pm for that for me

I can understand that. I’ve no idea, but if you have dual SIM, I’d hope it were possible to at least disable/turn of one line if you didn’t want to receive calls on that line. (e.g. on your work line after hours, or at weekends)
 
I had exact same situation, same time and everything. Gutted I haven't opted for pick up as my local Apple Store is about half hour walk away, but it was genuinely saying 23rd until everything was confirmed. But hey let's be hopeful our dates get pushed forward 🤞

I ended up securing an in-store pick up for Friday afternoon today.

I cancelled my online order after. It hadn’t moved from ‘processing’ over the weekend, which led me to keep an eye on the Apple Store stock with a cheeky Siri Shortcut 😁

I get a new iPhone every year so last years model ( 11 pro max) will now be my work phone.
See now this used to be me few years back until my current company allowed me to purchase a second phone, so thats when i like to test out the Google Pixels, however this year i think iPhone all the way for both, but again still thinking of returning the 12 for the iPad Air, and rock my iPhone 12 pro
 
This would be a good idea and maybe is possible ?
It is possible

Phone line is the least of my issues with a work phone - mine is all apps etc so difficult to switch off. I’d love to be able to put them in ‘groups’ and turn notifications on/off with a shortcut at the end of the day

Yes, I'd love that functionality as well.

They're doing the trade in thing where you trade your iPhone in with them and they give £ a month off your iPhone 12/pro bill. They should give you a % off for being a existing customer upgrading with them anyway without trading your phone in. For me it was trade in + existing customer discount.
