I've got mime locked in with them for £760. Think I have 14 days to send it off to them. Think I'm going to go with that. One question; I've had a screen protector on since day one. Do you think I should take it off or just leave it on?

And is it best to take photos of the phone as you pack it as proof of it's condition?

I would maybe take it off when you pack it. Yeah take photos before and as you put in box so got proof ahead of time

I’m currently locked in with Music Magpie for the 21 days return.

Smart Cellular have the best prices with 14 days return but some of their reviews are pretty scathing, just looks more of a gamble in my opinion.

Definitely agree it’s best to take lots of photos as proof before sending to be safer if they do question condition.

I'm sorry but I don't trust any of these websites who say "we've locked your price at xyz" and then expect you to post your shiny phone to them for xyz stated price.

Royal Mail currently is a shambles (ordered a lateral flow test the other day which shows as delivered on their tracking page and yet nothing was delivered to me) so there's absolutely no fudging way I would trust them to deliver my phone.......

Never had an issue with music magpie. Have sold plenty of iPhones, my old ps3, 12” MacBook and other stuff in the past with no issues.

When I sold my iphone X to musicmagpie in February I used one of their ‘smart’ terminals (can’t remember exact name) in my local ASDA, having agreed price online. Terminal examines and confirms price and, if you accept phone disappears. Money was in my account by the time I got home.

Wow not seen those before!

How does the Terminal examine? or is it a manned terminal for a person to check?

As a mini owner, becoming more and more convinced that for the first time, this upgrade might not be worth it.

I hope Apple pull something unexpected out of the bag in a couple of weeks that persuades me but right now I'm 50/50 on it. It comes down to the fact it's going to cost me over £300 at least just for a smaller notch and slightly better performance.

This should be an easy decision not to upgrade - but that's why we're on forums like this, because we love new tech.

I’m in the same boat with a 12 mini. What’s convinced me to upgrade is my battery health is at 87% after 10 months. Going right up to the 13 Pro so now it‘s a no brainer. Have loved the smaller form factor though - will miss that

So hopefully same as last year £1100 for the 13 pro max 7% Currys work vouchers £1023, then 10% complete savings £110 cashback £913, minus £705 trade inn £208 for a years rental I look at it 😄

£1100 - that is an INSANE amount to pay for a phone.....??!! 🤪 🤪

Wasn't the iPhone XS even more than that...?!
 
I'm not sure what to do. I'm a developer making the move back to Macs after a decade or more. I want to make macOS and iOS apps so I'll need an iPhone but I'm not sure which model would be best to use for development. It'll also be my primary mobile phone.

Thanks for the heads up. Won’t be upgrading this year (not long had the 12) but good to know for the future.
