@Jinjin

Nice one. Mine will he tomorrow then but by that time I’ll have hopefully upgraded already

 

[Ninjacuts1111]

Has any one seen price plan prices yet for EE?

Also, regarding eSim, if I ordered through ee, but then my work sim is Vodafone, will I require the phone unlocking to be able to use a sim from another network?

EE is a rip off no max plans on sim only they are the fastest speed but who on earth benchmark speedtest to show off.

This may have been answered before but regarding the IUP, if i manage to reserve an XS Max 64GB tomorrow morning, to be collected next week and choose IUP do i have to part with any money or go through a credit check at the time i place a pre-order or does this all take place when i go to collect the phone?

Nothing until you turn up to store next Friday. You are just reserving a phone for store pickup. You won't even choose how you are paying tomorrow, that happens on collection when they ask you how you want to pay.

Cheaper to buy on iPhone Payments Plan and get Sim only through Three. Tis what I do. 200 mins, unlimited texts, unlimited data for £20/month on top of the £50/month for the phone...

EE is a rip off no max plans on sim only

Not true, I'm on SIM only with them and have a 4GEE MAX plan.

 

[Ninjacuts1111]

I’ve decided not to go for the XS and will look for a well looked after used X 256GB instead.

It’s just too much money, tempted by the XR though!

Mate I already have a iPhone X 64GB PAYING £13 unlimited everything on three uk
Purchasing a iPhone XR With my new three sim unlimited everything for £14
both phones with two sim deal cost me only £27
better off purchasing sim free no way on earth i'm paying £80 or £100 each month on a 24 month rip off contract.

even with Apple IUP is showing £45 for the iPhone XR + £14 SIM still cost me £59 a month

New customers that is.

Your three plan is a rip off hangle them over the phone.

EE is cheaper - I have a £16.99 SIM only with unlimited calls, texts and 10Gb data (which is more than enough for me).

With what looks like ridiculous contract prices

I just dislike EE for some reason the main reason I stay with three unlimited data which I hundred's of GB each month.

Unfortunately there’s nothing cheap about these phones.

If it’s a case of spreading the payments then iPhone payments is 0% over 20 months. Check the first post as I’ve put options in there

Hi everyone,

This is my first post on here so I thought what better section to post in than here as I'm from London UK.

Little bit of history regarding phones. I've owned various iPhone's and Samsung's.

Galaxy S2,S3,S4 and S7 Edge.

iPhone 3GS,4S,6 Plus and 7 Plus.

Currently running a S8+ which I traded the 7 plus for as I loved the all screen on it.

When the X came out last year I was so tempted to sell the S8 and go for it but I didn’t want to go to a smaller screen as I had got used to the 6.1 inch.

Now I’m due for my EE upgrade on the 22nd and last night Apple made up my mind. It has got to be the Xs Max for me.. just need to decide if 64gb will suit me or if 256gb will be more sensible.

I have 64gb in the S8 and never seem to fill up the storage with pics and vids.

I'm getting the iPhone XR £750 sticking my cheap £14 sim deal run that phone to the ground till 5G comes out.

Was it mentioned anywhere on the keynotes that the s4 watches and new iPhones would have always on display so you can still see the date and time when the devices are in standby?

Just thinking it’s gonna be cheaper 0% with Apple and sim only contract than taking a 24 month contract out with a carrier

 

[alFR]

New customers that is.

Fair enough, didn't realise they'd stopped it for new customers. Doesn't really seem to make sense competitively...

You get mugged off with prices with any carrier here you get charged like no tomorrow + RPI price increase next year on top.

They still have it take out a EE 24 month iPhone XS MAX/iPhone XS/iPhone XR you will have max plan speed.
