I'm not sure to be fair I always sell mine around a month ahead of the new phones coming out as the value is still high.

I think the iPhone 11 currently fetches for around £370 depending on storage capacity

Some fascinating historical data to look through here…

Thank you both. Gonna see what I can get for my 256GB 11 after the 13's launch, I think. Can't go back to my old iPhone 6 which was chugging when I upgraded to the 11. Who knows, I may not even get the new Mini and stick to the 11. It's just the size of the 11 I still find uncomfortable, and that's nearly two years after buying it!
 
This would be my dream 13 Pro lineup (assuming they keep maximum numbers of colours at 4).

Sunset Gold as the new colour while also doubling up as the gold option, Matte Black replacing Graphite as the black option, Pacific Blue kept in the lineup as a favourite from last year, and then Silver retained as we know it.

That sunset gold is growing on me…
Dammit!
 
2021 upgrade plans sorted.

Won’t be doing the usual phone recycling through music magpie but missus needs a new phone and will buy 12 pro off me (through her business so win win).

Son get hers (my old) 10 as his first iPhone and I get the 13!

Will pay off the 24 month on the Barclays loan and then if all goes as last year, use the pre auth finance and simple check out again.

Am also now contemplating sell my series 5 watch for a redesigned 7.

Also sold my 2019 13” mbp earlier this year thinking the new 14” M1X* would be out by now… alas that looks like a November splash out again.

No presents for the kids this Christmas me thinks
 
All the renders of the sunset gold are looking really good - it's still between that and silver for me. I've never been a huge fan of black/space grey/graphite phones and somehow the blue has lots its appeal to me - not sure how I feel about them keeping it around for another year

How much are you getting for the 12 Pro thinking of selling mine private this year
 
Am I correct in thinking that the current 12 Pro Max cases will not fit the new 13 Pro Max?
 
Bit stuck… need to trade in my iPhone 12 Pro but don’t have a phone to use if I do this now so I have to wait… don’t know who to trade with whether it be Apple or MM… not sure on value so don’t know how much money I need to put towards the new one just AHHHHH!!!

I have an SE 2020 purely for this reason. I wasn't going to sell my 12 and upgrade but I ended up doing it anyway so currently on my SE until the new ones drop!

Just do what @Jinjin did last year. Buy yourself a ‘burner’ directly from Apple and initiate a return within 14 days. I believe you then have a further 14 days to get it Apple. Just don’t break it 🤣

Looks like Apple are increasing the prices this year, like it's not expensive enough everywhere outside the US.
 
I'm likely to upgrade as the prospect of improved cameras is always tantalising to me. An improved ultra-wide lens would be welcome as I've surprised myself with how much I've used it since the 11. An improved telephoto lens with a wider aperture on the Pro Max would also be welcome, as they provided longer reach (2.5x vs 2x) in exchange for a smaller aperture (f2.2 vs f2.0). My telephoto images are noticeably rougher compared to my wife's 12 Pro when indoors.

Would probably opt for the 256GB option and could simply enable optimised iCloud photo storage if things got too tight; reluctant to spring for 512GB if I won't actually use the storage capacity as it not only costs more, but the depreciation is hard on the highest storage tiers.

I would seriously consider using Apple's trade-in option again after my most recent experience. I don't remember the specifics, but Apple's trade in on my 11 Pro Max wasn't dramatically lower than what the likes of Music Magpie were offering; crucially for me, the trade-in value was agreed up-front against the purchase of the new device, bringing my monthly repayments down to almost half price over 24 months - only £25 per month. They also gave me 2 weeks to send the device across. Yes, I lose a bit of cash and need to pay off the Barclays loan balance myself with no funding offset from the outgoing device, but the solution seems to hit the sweet spot for me.
