I've the exact same phone. I thought you only got 14 days to send the phone in to Music Magpie?

21 days at the moment.
I’ve been signing up everyday to extend the deal until after the device arrives and to lock in the price.

The 10EXTRA only works once per email account so have created aliases for my email account and each morning when I wake up create a new account and lock in again.

Managed to use the 20% discount code supplied by Jonnyslats for my new EE contract.

Spoke to them on live chat and they've applied a further 10% customer loyalty discount (taking the following contract down to £16):

  • 200GB
  • 5G
  • Unlimited text/minutes
  • BT Sport Ultimate (with casting)

Dear diary... JACKPOT!

Any chance of DM the 20% discount.
 
Was that declared in 'Like New' condition? I was looking at them for my XS Max 256 earlier and they are only offering £270 for a 'Good' condition one which I thought mine would be because it's got a couple of very fine scratches on the screen that you can only see under a certain light.
Maybe I should declare it as Like New and then get more for it?
Yes I specified it was like new as very good condition was £220. I think I was pushing my luck asking for the £407 but when they offered £380 I took it as music magpie only offered £366. Money already been paid in. I never used a screen protector so it was a little scratched.

I’m getting this for £10.20 after doing some haggling.

Ah cool. I'll look into doing something similar.

I've had a screen protector on for quite a while but when Apple fitted it for me they did point out a few very fine scratches if you looked under a bright light. It's also spent it's entire life in a case so should be in good condition.

12 years old! Lovely iPhone at the time though. Felt good in the hand as I recall.

Just received confirmation of payment from Music Magpie. £555 (including 10EXTRA) for my 11 Pro 64GB. Lost about £25 by waiting an extra day to get my price.

Got my price on Monday 12th. Posted it on Friday 23rd and it arrived with MM on Monday 26th. I know they’re doing 21-days at the moment but my order definitely said 14-days at the time I placed it. Very happy that everything went smoothly with no quibbles over value or timeframes.

You did well it’s drop to £470. The XS Max went up about 3 days after the pre orders went up. I expect it to drop once the 12 pro max is available.

That one looks in better condition than the one I’ve had in my drawer for the last few years. I bought mine at a car boot for a fiver as a restoration project and never got around to actually doing it.
Maybe we should start a classic iPhone restoration thread somewhere.
 
So my deep navy mag safe silicon case is now preparing to ship. I wish it was my phone lol! I think that'll be tomorrow or Friday. So just curious, as I am blind and can't see on the videos, how do the mag safe cases work? Do you just line it up with the back of the phone and it fits into place? Just curious for when the phone arrives. I love apple stuff and how great it is for accessibility! All I have to do is grab my new phone out of the box, turn it on, tripple click the side button and voiceover comes on and reads me what is on the screen! I'm also really impressed with face ID as well, because I can't control the movement of my eyes, I didn't think it would work for me, but it does which is great!
 
If anyone looking, there is iPhone Pro Blue stock in John Lewis at this very moment.
7 left. I've decided to wait for Pro Max
Gone already by the looks of it!
 
Dunno whether to go for the 12 pro or 12 pro max. I’m usually all about the biggest phones, however I’m hesitant to go bigger because I have an iPad mini and I think there would be too much overlap between the 12 pro max and my mini 5.

I have the 11 pro max now. Last year after my note 10+ debacle I briefly had a Xr before I got the 11 pro max. I didn’t have an issue with the screen size. I had the X and found it too small but the Xr was ok.

It seems that the 12 pro max doesn’t actually have 5x optical zoom either.

Not convinced you will notice much difference between 11 Pro max and 12 pro Max
