Which Model are you getting?

Seen a few people asking about paying off finance early etc. I got the IP12PM on launch day online, did all the pre approval stuff with Barclays Partner Finance and have been paying monthly for that.
Today I went onto preorder the IP13PM and had a message saying “your phone is already a part of the iPhone Upgrade Programme, tap here to continue etc”. Filled out all the details and now have this all sorted. Very straight forward and love how easy Apple makes this. Just waiting for the new Watch now! The need to do the same programme for the Apple Watch!

due an upgrade but waiting to see prices on the 13 pro (contract) ... can see its £949

may just buy it outright tbh

got an SE 2020 and 12 mini could get some £££ for !
 
iPhone 13 Pro 256Gb in Graphite pre-ordered using the 24 month 0% APR. Did the same with my iPhone 12 Pro Max.

However do I let both of them run or do I pay the remaining £650 or £700 off now ?

You can keep them both for now, get a trade in price for your 12PM now, then send it in on Sat 25th once you have your 13P set up and running...then settle remaining balance once you receive the funds
 
Also a tip I can recommend is to order the Spigen EZ-fit screen protectors of Amazon while you can. They’re fantastic at what they do and vital for keeping your screen free of scratches if like me you get the new model every year. They sold out around launch time last year so I’ve ordered mine already. Still deciding on a case - if I go for one at all!

That’s good to see. I think it’s a problem when additional payment(s) are still needed to get to the 11 required.

Usually do in store pick up and get them to fit a belkin one there. Will have to check this out as I can’t be bothered to go in store.

I have to say my 12 pro silver has been in its ESR case since day 1 and I took it off today to get ready to send to MM and gave it a good clean. No scratches at all

Just ordered the ESR screen protectors - £7.99 for a pack of 3 along with an applicator guide (20% off on Amazon at the moment). Generally I do not use screen protectors but my wife has been using one with her iPhone 12 and they seem pretty solid.....

Thats a low offer for an iPhone 12.
MM are giving me £500 for my iPhone 11 PM!
 
Im looking to buy a clear case for the 13 Pro Max from Amazon - never been fond of the Apple ones TBH, and I don't like that round MagSafe ring on the clear one - however I'm not sure how well MagSafe will work if I buy a generic clear case from elsewhere.....

Other half has been using a Torras clear case with her iPhone 12, which is rather nice, so am tempted to go the same route.....
