1. Have 11 pro max. Gone for 12 pro max. Maybe they'll notice, maybe they won't?Here's your options... Use one or more of these tips to solve the problem.
1. Stick to the same size iPhone when you upgrade, and updgrade every year or two. Unless your other half loves iPhones as much as you, they're probably not going to notice you've had a new phone... And if they love iPhones as much as you, you should both upgrade and then that solves the problem...
2. Get the same case as your old case for your old iPhone. Further stealthiness...
3. Say work got you a new phone...
4. Buy them a new iPhone, too... As their main Christmas present. Two birds, one stone, and all that. Get a monthly (ideally interest free) payment scheme of some kind if you need to spread the cost. Multiple iPhones gets expensive.
Good luck!
Totally forgot about this, partner is a teacher, you may have just saved me £200That’s before VAT but yeah I did get education pricing (wife and I both work in education).
I'm going from an X to the 12 pro max hoping they don't realise 😂1. Have 11 pro max. Gone for 12 pro max. Maybe they'll notice, maybe they won't?
Yes plenty time yet they have a lot to get throughNot looking good for me still nothing from Curry’s do you think there is still time?
GOOD NEWS FOR ME!
After all that crap and delay with three I decided to change to O2 and preordered earlier.... AND JUST GOT DELIVERY FOR TOMOROW!
How the hell does Three have no stock for their customers yet everywhere else has stock?!
So happy!
Me too 👌Order Arriving 18th just changed to ‘Prep to Ship’

I had the same issue with Three for IP12 launch.
They just continue to take preorders without knowing how much stock they’ll get.
Then they also hold back the majority of their stock for new customers, so when you see it in stock on their website it’s for nee contracts. When mine was delayed they told me I could take out a new contract and get it next day or wait 4 weeks for my upgrade. Disgusting service, so glad I left and joined EE!
Just tell lies.When would you say is a good time to tell your other half you've dropped more than a grand on a phone you don't really need? Any suggestions?
Yes. There will be a lot of orders to go out.Not looking good for me still nothing from Curry’s do you think there is still time?
That’s awful... it’s definitely not first come first serve as I got confirmation email at 12:43... before launch time.
They suck.
1. Have 11 pro max. Gone for 12 pro max. Maybe they'll notice, maybe they won't?
2. I have actually done this. haha!
3. I own the company, so not so easy.
4. No way! Then they'd think I liked them or something.
It's always easier to ask for forgiveness than permission🤗When would you say is a good time to tell your other half you've dropped more than a grand on a phone you don't really need? Any suggestions?
I love them really. Phones are not on their radar - it's not something they are into. Tomorrow's courier delivery will be met with a scrunched up face and a "what new amazing gadget did you absolutely need and couldn't live without today?" I'm the breadwinner so I have the freedom. Haha. I'll buy them something much nicer than an iPhone and redeem myself.1. If they notice... How can they prove otherwise?
2. This helps 1. to not be an issue.
3. Why didn’t you say?! You’re writing off tax liabilities - this is a company expense, with a net-zero outcome!
4. The fact you’re asking on an online forum how not to hurt their feelings shows that you like them! Buy them a new iPhone for Christmas. Just so you know that I’m not a hypocrite, I have bought my husband an iPhone 12 Pro Max, arriving with mine tomorrow, for Christmas. To aid my cause, he is having it tomorrow and doesn’t have to wait for six weeks....
Must say after spending today reading about people who've already got their PS5 whilst we have to wait another week, it's quite nice to know at least some of us will be getting our iPhones a few hours before those across the pond![]()
