My experiences of music magpie??? Avoid them like the plague. Messed both me and my partner around something crazy. Took ages to scan it in one took two days the other took and additional day, despite being sent and delivered on the same days as each other, they then lied about the state of the phone, took ages to return it to me. Took it to CPW who tested it there and then, no issues, money on card in 3 days.
long story short, there must have been an error with the price on their website, they realised and instead of owing up and offering the actual going rate, they offered us the lower rate and said the screen was water damaged etc etc, exactly the same on both handsets.

Apple offers 14 day returns in good faith. Don't think I would want to game them like that, but I'm an old-fashioned boy and probably a mug.
I personally think it’s a bit scummy to take advantage of the 14 days no questions asked returns like that, doesn’t matter how rich the company is.
What are peoples UK pricing predictions?
I know the iPhone 11 was sold for £729/$699 but the most recent Air pad 4 had better currency conversion at $599/£579.
I’m hoping the iPhone 12 Mini is sold at $699/£679.

2 trillion dollar company. Apple can afford it. Even when you do a return they will still end up making the $$$
Locked in my Pixel 4XL with Music Magpie as I've always had good dealings. May resell on a popular auction site this weekend if I can get 1% selling fee and a reasonable sale price!
So I've gone and pre-ordered the Google Pixel 5 - an anti-Apple thing to do but the deal was mega. I have really enjoyed my experience with the 4XL this year, especially the camera.
My direct comparison of the Pixel 5 will be with the iPhone 12 Pro & Pro Max. Looks like 5G and the new Air Tags will be their primary sales push. If Apple step up and include 120hz refresh rate, even as an option, then I am sold. Interested in seeing the camera/video upgrades on the 12 Pro's too. Plus what they can do with the LiDAR scanner - will it be actually useful or an AR gimmick.
Looking forward to the 'Hi, Speed' event!
It's gonna get busy in here!

I think Apple must give very concrete example / functions about LiDAR on this event since the LiDAR on iPad is used by few users and developers.
The drawback by putting LiDAR exclusive to Pro iPhone is that not a big enough incentive for third-party dev to focus since the pool of potential customers for their apps will be too small.
Developing a game exclusive for A14 chips is non sense so developing stuff exclusive to half of A14 iPhone is even less attractive from a business perspective for third-party dev.
In the short term, Apple must use LiDAR for their owns app and photos. And only 1-2 years later from now with a way bigger pool of compatible users, third-party dev would reasonabily focus on provide use case of LiDAR.
But wait & see !
Still amazing how good resale value is for iPhones. When i sold my 11 pro max 256GB think it went for £620
True. I have a good deal for a pretty old device. I have found someone ok to pay €250 for my iPhone 7 128GB right after the 12 is out. 😊
You still lose about £500 from brand new but after what 13-14 months is pretty good really.
I used them for the first time a few weeks ago. I sold my S4 SS 40mm watch and got £210 for it (same as quoted). Everything went smoothly so I’ll probably be using them again to sell my 11 Pro.
I was, now I will just buy my phones and use sim only
Got my fold 2 on annual upgrade though
I will still use the forum to see the comments and threads as i’m sad like that...
I’ll be heading to EE after 8+ years with O2, not annual upgrade though as I don’t need that. Looking forward to finally having decent network coverage after being lazy and sticking with O2 with their dismal service in my part of Wales for so long!
I really wish I could afford the phone outright, but gone are the days of the latest iPhone costing £600, I just simply cannot afford £1000+ outright.
EE are brilliant. I have used them for three years and not a glitch. I buy my phones and watches outright but for sim services on my watch and phone, they have been brilliant
Agreed, however, the standard iPhone 12 might be a tantalising choice this year (it’ll be around 600 I suspect) and may only lack LIDAR and an additional camera from the Pro.. things I’d be probably be happy to concede. Excited to see what shows up.
Liking the idea of the mini but it depends how many functionality concessions it has for the size...
Yeah EE and Vodafone are apparently the best for coverage in the Welsh Valleys and EE have a huge headquarters in Merthyr so you’d expect them to be good. I could afford to buy outright but to be honest I like to pay £400 upfront and then go on a 2 year contract with as close to a £30p/m tariff as possible. If the total cost is £900-950 over 2 years I’m happy. I’m tempted to use the extra cash this year to get an iPad Air. Then again I’ve just built a home office so I might need to get a PS5 lol

Oh yeah, I have also just pre-ordered the Series X
