Can somebody tell me if I have got my maths hideously wrong.
I bought a 14 Pro including "AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss" on Barclays Partner Finance starting in 2022, with the total finance value being £1458.
By the time I get my 15 Pro, let's say I've made 11 payments, so that is £60.74 * 12 = £728.88.
But my understanding is that I can get a refund on AppleCare+ because I've paid for it for 3 years, does that apply in this case?
I have to settle the Barclays account, which must be £1458 - £728.88 = £729.12 to settle.
I have £715 locked in with MusicMagpie, so by my Maths that means I've spent £728.88 + £729.12 - £715 = £743 to own the phone for a year. Does that seem reasonable?

Rejoining the thread for a few weeks during the launch!. Got a £200 Amazon voucher + £670 locked in on MM for my 14Pro.
I'll be in LA on Sept 23rd. Will see what the cost difference is & Sim tray Situation before deciding whether to get it from AmazonUK or Apple in the US.

AC+ is a pro rate refund so you get roughly half of it back
Not sure why I was only paying £54 for a Pro Max per month unless I paid the AC+ upfront.
Your figures do seem roughly bang on
I am totally not excited about iPhone 15 hype.
Either something is wrong with me or some one aka Jinjin needs to start a new iPhone 15 thread and pick an argument with you know who cant be named.
That oomph is missing this year.

I only come round here once a year like the lurker I am but I do remember Dino, what did he do to get banned? 😂
Just read previous page apologies. Dino wherever you are my man I hope you are well 😁
What's everyone doing if the event invite shows the colours and there are only these 3:
Look closer… there’s actually a fourth shade in there. Supposedly the white backed iPhone will have a slight yellow tint to the titanium.

some say he was moonlighting on here after taking a break as the Stig
it would have been 2 years finance with Barclays.. you should get roughly half of the cost back on it
I'm with you.. but I've got a larger preorder bug this year... has defo taken the shine of the phone knowing that's 3 months away.
the hype will come though, you know it will..
Taycan over iPhone any day lol.
Is getting an EV effecting your car insurance premium significantly?
in the grand scheme of things, its the same cost as an annual iPhone upgrade!
quotes are absolutely bonkers
Yup, heard similar stories from my friends. Insurance companies are charging ridiculous money even for a modest Tesla.in the grand scheme of things, its the same cost as an annual iPhone upgrade!

Dino is part of the OG, UK Pre order thread.
There was him, me, @Jinjin, @WRXiceman and @sparkie1984
Makes sense when you are going off the grid completely.in the grand scheme of things, its the same cost as an annual iPhone upgrade!
