They never discount the new phones or AirPods. Normally happens a few months after!
Edit - I see this has already been answered. Apologies!
Anyone keeping their old phone as a backup device.
I'm tempted to keep my iPhone 11 Pro 256Gb for a backup spare phone the trade in prices sucks this year last year I received £710 in the end of August for a iPhone XS max 64gb.

I did that once but it ended up being a waste as it sat in a drawer unused the whole time, and depreciated badly.
I’ve got a blue light card from work, and it offers 2% discount on iPhones and that’s across the range.
I'm not NHS but I have access to the Apple Corporate Perks site through both my current employer and a former employer and the discounts seem to be the same.
There is usually no discount on new iPhones for the first few months. The 2% iPhone discount should apply to the iPhone 12 from early 2021.
Nah, just lock in your price sooner.
I have an old 7+ which im using as my backup device at the moment, sent my 11 Pro off to Music Magpie so this is mine until next week.
Quite nice having a button again!
So, which retailers normally have stock for pre-order, other than Apple? I’ve been getting upgrades from my network for the last few years, but I’m going to go SIM free this year.
I’m guessing John Lewis, Very?

My first "iOS" device was the original iPod Touch and i've been around the forums since October 2007 going through the 3G, 4, 4S ,5 ,6 ,7 ,11 Pro as well as several iterations of iPads.
Need a new iPhone as my 11 Pro decided it wanted to swim with the fishes.
I wish they’d bring back Touch ID (under screen) in addition to Face ID, especially now that mask wearing is so prevalent.
I never phone them always use live chat I do that with every company if they ask why not phone us just say I'm part deaf.
or the kid's are sleeping

I might try that myself next time! They may be inclined to cave in if the process is exceedingly slow.
I think the 11 was only a month before it was eligible for discounts. I think it varies based on demand/stock.
What plan is that if you don’t mind me asking? Does it include any smart benefits?
I tried with them over live chat today but they wanted to charge me more for less data that I have just now on a 24month sim only

I may be wrong but I seem to remember that although John Lewis have launch day stock (with 2 years warranty) they don’t take orders BEFORE launch day.
can anyone confirm this?
Anyone else not loving the new design on the Pro models ?
using that great comparison tool link here to compare the XS to the iPhone 12 Pro. The XS looks way better to me. I still don’t think I’m in the market this year. Disappointed by lack of high refresh screen and the pro Max is still a brick in terms of being too heavy.
I might consider a downgrade from my pro Max 11 but l honestly think the 12 Pro is ugly.

Live chat better deals due to the agent on the other end is based on feedback system at the end of the chat any bad or low feedback he/she misses out on nice bonus.
Phoning up is definitely different you cannot rate the advisor or agent.....
I'm on a 100gb 5g Vodafone plan for £20 for 24 months, but with £288 cashback, so effectively £8 a month. Been impressed with Vodafone so far, much better signal and 4g speeds compared to EE where I am.
what options do you do on live chat tried by clicking upgrades then it said online chat not available to phone up
If even go as far to say I may consider picking up a discontinued 11 Pro (cheaply?) rather than a 12 Pro as the design is better on the 11 series.
I’ve spent ages tonight looking at the compare tool and Apples own website but I just can’t love the new ones.

Seems like you got a good deal, I am on the old Max plan 30gb unlimited texts and mins for £21.86. Been out of contract for 2 years but haven't upgraded as didn't want to lose my America and Canada roaming but I guess I can still get this with the swappable benefit. Will try live chat tomorrow
I pay £27.75 to Vodafone for unlimited texts, calls, data and Spotify Premium. Also includes 5G
