I’ll be honest, this year I could have easily kept the 12 Pro Max a further year, it’s not missed a single beat & been superb in every way. I love new iPhone tech so upgrade each year but definitely get those that hang on 2 years+ before changing up. I do like the challenge of securing on pre-order day for delivery on launch day, although that’s less of a problem the last few years!
My first year selling with MM and want to ensure I receive my locked in £740 on time. Judging from everyone receiving what they locked in with MM after sending in, it should be fine.
I’d prefer to have an X instead of my old 6S but for 4 days I think I can hold out! Getting excited as we’ve not got long to wait now!

That is a very good price. I got £410 for my 64GB sold privately.

Sort of. In iOS 7 a feature was introduced to allow an Apple Watch to be used without it being paired to an iPhone
watchOS 7: Family Setup Features, Requirements, and Activation Steps
Alongside the launch of the Apple Watch Series 6, Apple Watch SE, and the new watchOS 7 software update, Apple introduced a Family Setup feature that's designed to allow parents to set up Apple Watches for their children, letting an Apple Watch be used without an iPhone.

It’s designed for kids to have a Apple Watch, so if that was the reason for your question then it is possible. It you are asking if you can have an Apple Watch when you don’t have an iPhone, then it is a ’No’.

Not sure how genuine these are but thought worth posting

The military green looks cool. Pink and matte black color, confirmed?
Those camera bumps look awful! Comments say these are likely re productions though so hopefully they won’t be on the real thing.
Hope the leather comes out on day 1 this year..
None of those really stand out to me so I’ll probably go with the Black if I get a Silver phone

Yeah those raised edges around the array don’t look great but wonder if they’re necessary because of the rumoured increase in depth. Not long left to find out 😬

I'm bucking the trend of this thread and about to upgrade my first gen SE to an iPhone 12 mini as there's some great deals to be had.
Do I go for a 24 month contract totalling:
1) £687 for any colour 64GB (unlimited data plan) or
2) £783 for blue 128GB (100GB data plan)?
Decisions, decisions... is there a colour easiest to resell?

No saddle brown! 😵 These ones look real by the looks of the Apple box in the photos
I’d probably go dark purple out of all those I think!

Now thinking they’re just really good imitations. Check out the paper insert. The picture doesn’t show a narrower notch or the rumoured relocated earpiece 🧐

If I’m honest, I’ve never understood Apple’s decision to have raised camera bumps which causes the phones to wobble when placed on flat surfaces?!

With the technology as it is and to achieve the standard of photography that we expect, it’s a choice between having the camera lenses protruding or having a significantly thicker phone.

Yeah with how good cameras are the bump is needed…well iphone 14 if those rumours are correct we could have no bump at all

I’d ignore the data limit if I were you.. unless you REALLY use an absurd amount of data, 100gb is more than enough. Now it depends on whether you need 128gb or you can make do with 64gb?
If the latter then the first deal is a good one! Otherwise go for the second deal and future proof your storage needs. I’d say blue will be an easy sell - i can only imagine colours like the green would be more difficult to shift if selling privately

Latest rumours is that base storage will be 128GB, pretty much guaranteeing the base option for the 13 Mini/13 will be around £50 more this year going by the 12's pricing.
Apple are REALLY making it hard to justify upgrading from the 12 Mini this year.
I felt bad paying £629 for my 12 Mini from Currys earlier as felt it was overpriced, and sold it for £410. A base storage 13 Mini looking to be around £750 - plus a new case and screen protector means paying around an extra £400 just for the pleasure of a slightly better battery, a smaller notch and double the storage I don't need.

My matte black 13 will get either the military green or black silicone case. Or black or saddle brown if I go with leather.
I went with white silicone for my silver 12PM, very grippy & it still looks new.

Yeah me neither, when you throw a case on it there is nearly zero wobble - but that defeats the purpose!
