That’s exactly what I’ve just done, 2 years 0% on a 12 pro and then 100gb 5g sim only deal for £20 a month..

That works out to be £1880 .... more expensive than going with a provider....?

cafcross · Oct 19, 2020

Remember that most contracts nowadays are for 3 years.

Gally · Oct 19, 2020

I have never seen any at 3 years!

On two years? A great price.

That seems cheap. I can't see any deals even close to that

Had a leaflet through about a phone and looked a great deal, was 3 years in the small print. That was sky

Yes 24 months. I had a friends and family discount on my account but I got a further 20% as my friend works for the NHS and he has got a code. If you know a student or anybody who works for the NHS you can get 20% off.

This isnt a bad price for a 12 with 100GB.
Works out at £36 per month

iPhone 12 64GB on Three: unlimited mins + texts + 100GB Data - £36/month x 24 + £129 upfront using code = £993 total via Affordable Mobiles | hotukdeals

Ah ok mate that would make sense.

Probably stick with my new 11 and be done faffing.

imprezaworks · Oct 19, 2020

My deal is actually 36 a month

Where do you get £1880 from?

12 pro 256=£1099
24 months at £20 = £480

Ordered my 12 pro this morning, arriving tomorrow.

Ex-User (19928) · Oct 23, 2020

Thinking about cancelling mine now.

I don't need a new phone. The main thing in my mind was memory, but I've started trying to use my phone less and since I've done that it's not been such an issue having 64GB

f**k. Off.

I ordered ages ago, delivery 2nd Nov

ChrisR · Oct 23, 2020

Doh.

I’d planned to buy from John Lewis as had some vouchers plus 5% off through work, logged in this morning and they had most of them in stock.

Less than an hour after I ordered and all the 128/256 Pros had gone.

I’ve got one heading to my local Waitrose for tomorrow. Quicker than Apple could supply me with one, which would have been delivered Tuesday until I hit the cancel order button.

JL will most likely get more stock in fairly quickly, they always seem to

MarcB · Oct 23, 2020

This is what im going for tomorrow.

Just got a free iPhone 11 Pro from work and I still have my iPhone XS

F**k this 36month contract stuff.

Cause work have a mass business account with O2 and have 100s of mobiles with them get 25% off airtime calls (I Think)

Hang on I've worked for the NHS for 10 years lol... where's my discount. Guessing it won't apply as I'm not a new customer.

MarcB · Oct 24, 2020

So walked into O2 today to be told alot of utter sh*te.

Seemingly cause the iPhone 12 pro is just out and very expensive and it is a new contract I cant use any sort of discount via my work.

Think im just going to wait another couple of weeks.

Won’t be weeks. Voda put the same thing in place last year, lasted 9 months of something silly.

To be totally honest I don't even need it but I refuse point blank to do what everyone else at work has done and that is use there work phone as a personal phone.
Plus the the iPhone 11 Pro from work is only 64gb🙈

Darren61 · Oct 24, 2020

I’ve got to say, it’s a good upgrade from the X 😁

The one I ordered yesterday at 9am turned up at about 11 this morning if it makes you feel any better

. Haven’t even opened the package yet :/

ChrisR · Oct 24, 2020

Finally opened it up just to make sure DPD hadn't swapped it for a brick or something.

First impression coming from an 8, it's big and weighty, I'm more used to having 4 or so inches in my hand than 6...

imprezaworks · Oct 25, 2020

Mmmm 🧐

Gally · Oct 25, 2020

Going from 8 to 12 must feel like alien tech!

FaceID surely isn't viable any more, whatever happens a lot of people will continue to wear masks from now on.

I'm hoping the 12 pro is launched soon enough that we see some deals on black friday like we did with the XS, not holding my breath though.

I was thinking about taking my photo with a mask to see if it would recognise me!

Deeg · Oct 25, 2020

How often are people wearing masks that Face ID isn’t used 99% of the time?

With the change to Face ID a while ago, it quickly changes to pin if you do have a mask on.

Apple Pay, and using my phone at work or in a shop.. so actually a fair whack!

Good points.

i’m WFH, and don’t use Apple Pay much, so I’m out of touch on it.

Not massively, considering I work in the tech industry a phone is a phone to me for the most part.

It’s only really the camera aspect that’s given me the want to ‘upgrade’, pretty much everything else I can take or leave.

Screen is bigger which is useful for some things, but then sometimes things look a bit like those phones for old people with the massive buttons and things look too big and chunky

As for the touch/Face ID thing, I still just use a pin anyway (!) so it’s here nor there for me!

At the moment I’m a bit ambivalent on the change, the camera seems a big step up in quality and night mode when testing last night was very good, but other than that I’m not really wowed or have the feeling when I went from a 5s to an 8.

The size doesn’t help, it feels a bit chunky and awkward, whilst on the old 4/5 models I loved the squared edges picking up my 8 now it just feels nicer in the hand.

Decision for me now is do I stick with this, or try the mini when released and see if it still stacks up with the lesser camera stuff.

The lack of telephoto lens isn’t probably that big a deal for me, but the lack of lidar to help focusing, night mode potraits etc could factor in.

As in my opening line and my use of a pin still, I’m a bit of a luddite when it comes to phones, never really been one for having the latest and greatest

I’ve changed from an 8 plus to a 12 pro. The 8 plus was easier to use one handed. Going to change to the mini I think and manage with out the telephoto lens.

No, ordered from John Lewis and was just lucky I guess, they had everything but the blue models left in stock when I looked.

Will give it a good try out the next week or so and see

This was also irritating me. Fortunately my new Apple watch solves the problem.

Face ID’s never been as good as Touch ID imo.

I wish they’d find a way to reimplement it.
