I stick with Sim only - £16 a month for 100GB (which is pretty much unlimited for me!!).
This year Im getting the 13 Pro Max 512GB on finance (for the first time - usually just pay up front), which is £56 a month, plus the £9.95 Applecare + theft (which can be cancelled any time).
What company sent you that better packaging? I have a trade in order from CPW I am waiting on so maybe theirs will be better.Same here...spot the problem(That's a 12PM)

Rather handily though, I'd requested trade in from another company who sent me this, much better packaging, so I'll send to Argos (Likewize) in that packaging!

Give or take same price at paying £90 at EE. Have you also got Apple Music, if so EE would be cheaper by £8pcm
I put my phone back in the original box (without accessories) and then place that back into the original brown Apple postage box it came in (yes, I'm sad, I save postage boxes in the shed for when I send stuff I sell on eBay!!)
Currently I pay via EE.
£55.15 100GB + One Smart Benefit for iPhone 12 Pro Max 128GB
Total paid so far £55.15 x 12= £661.80 (price was £2-3 lower until price change)
Sold to MM for £705.00
Pay EE Early Fee £602.00
Cost me £558.80 @ £46.56 per month

I usually collect from store each year.. just not this year
I had an 8am pick up last year when the store opened.. it was quiet.
Apple stores are limiting numbers in the store at any one time and the timeslot reservations help. there will be a different (shorter) queue for reservations
Looks like Facebook marketplace is the same as USA. I had and the same experience. " Is it available" or those that wanted it shipped or those that offered me half of what my asking price was.

Last year I went to the Liverpool store before 10am and didn't really have any problems. It was reserved so I didn't just walk up and the COVID measures were in place etc. At that time the queues weren't bad.
If I remember rightly, there was a clothes shop downstairs that were having some sort of sale had a bigger queue!
I thought the condition of anytime upgrade is that you have to upgrade to an equivalent or higher price plan? Im pretty sure this is in their rules.
I had chosen that color originally, until earlier today that is, when that sick vision and feeling sunk in. . 🤣
Says more about your eyesight than Pro-Motion TBH. I notice it’s obvious absence from my 11 Pro and MacBook every time.
Nah? S model at best. There will be plenty of stock.
I think its better to go apple finance (interest free) and get a cheap sim only deal with a phone network. All of this bundling in of Apple Music etc doesn't work out good value, in fact all it does is contract you to a music streaming service.
So I've got an iPhone X right now. I held off upgrading last year, assuming there'd be a redesign this year.
The smaller notch on the iPhone 13 is good, but I'm slightly concerned that we'll see a complete redesign in 2022. But, in the absence of a crystal ball, I can't know for sure.
Still in two minds about this one.

I’ll be picking mine up from my local store. Going to trade in my 11 Pro and don’t want to do this via the post!
But don't forget the negative points. Your phone is locked, its a PITA if you want to change configuration / colour. Any issues with the phone is a PITA to deal with. Apple always have more flexibility with those who have purchased direct from them.
