Just a heads up you can only use the code once. I used it to sell my apple watch and just tried it to see what price I could get for my phone and I was told I'd used the code already. Bummer.
 
Anyone considering moving up a size this time around? I’ve had the regular sized 11 pro this year and it’s been great but tempted to go to the Max size this year with the new design. I’ve had plus phones in the past but I’ve enjoyed having a smaller phone for one handed use. But then a bigger screen and battery life… decisions, decisions.

if we’re on iup since 11 launch day, what would be left to pay to settle? wondering if selling it would be better than just handing it back and swapping.

No idea what's going to be left to settle but you'll almost certainly be better off selling and then paying Apple the balance than handing it back. You also get the balance of your unused Apple Care back too.

The only thing I don’t like about the Pro version is the shiny sides. I’d much prefer that to be like the aluminium on the watch.
 
Looks like Music Magpie are going to be doing an extra 10% code in October.

capped at £20 now but still better than nothing might get a quote in this week or wait until october

I'm in two minds with the new iphone i'm currently on the xs max which has served me well and still works great no problems whatsoever.

I've just got the samsung fold 2 and its awesome if apple just release a bog standard update ie better cameras but hardly touch anything else other than 5g then i might sit this update out as well. A 120hz refresh rate would get me to buy but i think that ship has sailed this year.

£20 is better than nothing, would be better if they didn't cap it though obviously.

I'm also on the XS Max. As much as I want the 12 Pro Max there's nothing wrong with the XS Max so like you if it's a meh kind of update I might sit it out.

I bought an 11 pro max 256gb from Amazon UK with 10% off (£130) earlier this month. I was thinking if returning it and getting a 12pro, I have until 9/10 to return it, but, I think I will keep it. To much messing about and I do not think the 12 will be a big upgrade anyway.

Yes and for every payment while 12 is delayed, the scales tip more toward paying off and selling, or even just trading as a regular trade in

It’s easier to contact Barclays to find out remaining balance for IUP. Go via the partner finance website on your phone and can start a convo on messages



I’ve got £530 left and had an offer for £655 locked in with magpie. And will get some more back from AppleCare too.

Not likely to keep that magpie offer as it’s close to expiry. Can’t be that long without a phone

...if the new 'mini' version is near the £500 mark then I may be tempted - I'm really not happy about delving into yet another £600 - £1000 2 year monthly payment plan again on the IUP, especially due to the fact that my XS has had minimal use during the past 7-8 month lockdown period.

I may just save my dosh and go for the new 2020 iPad Air this year - now THAT is a viable and worthy upgrade for my current first generation iPad Air 2.
;)

I've decided to stick with my current phone and look at the new iPad Air as well this year. 😆

Oh does Barclays do iUP in UK? My wife's is through Citizens. I got a SIM free paid up front since that is the only one that was available after my in store launch day pickup delayed at the absolute last minute
