Depends on what you're upgrading from. Missus moved from a 6S to an iPhone 12 Pro and it was a huge leap for her. I'm still on the 11 Pro (going from a 6S) and that too was a giant leap. However, not much in it between the 12 Pro and 11 Pro. Either way, I'd say go for the 12 Pro if you're not bothered about the larger footprint (no beadle hand).

Parts aren't interchangeable in the iphone 12, theyre somehow coded to the original handset and using an original part from one iphone 12 in another iphone 12 results in errors and loss of functions. Theyve basically locked the iphone being fixed or serviced by anyone but themselves.
Theyll probably just try and sell them in a different region, though how you get 48 pallets of apple gear over a border is another issue in itself!

Cheers fella.
Yes, the Mrs is still on a 6… so couldn't decide to either be cheap and get her a SE / XR as no doubt she will drop it in water or something… or roll the boat out and get her the new tech.

£50 off the Pros on Amazon - https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Apple-MWP22ZM-A-AirPods-Pro/dp/B07ZPML7NP/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords;=airpods&qid;=1605881759&sr;=8-5
i
hugely impressed with this also. weird having nothing to moan about
is the new 12 considerably cheaper than when new ones normally come out? is it like 700 dollars? £500 ish actually seems reasonable for a new iPhone. not brought a new one outright in years but wouldn't mind paying that for a 12 - just smashed my 11 pro to pieces and I feel like I might as well just get the new one instead of a screen repair
have to say i am pretty impressed with the iphone 11 battery. first time it actually feels like there has been a battery upgrade

I was away to get a SE2 when it came out but after reading about the battery i decided against it. Now I’m thinking will I get an 11 for £470 on the 02 refresh deal or wait and get the mini for £699. It’s quite a big difference in price and I only really use my phone to check emails, place bets, WhatsApp and phone calls. That being said the mini looks an ideal size and should last me 4+ years.
Will there likely be any deals on it come Black Friday or is it too new and being an Apple product unlikely to get any discount?

If someone you know has Perkbox through their employer, you can get 5% off John Lewis gift vouchers and purchase the the iPhone from them. Alternatively, if your employer runs a Tech Scheme (similar to the cycle2work scheme), you can save a bit through that, and you have the bonus of spreading the cost over 12 monthly payments that is deducted from your monthly wages.
Has anyone bought the 12 mini? thoughts?
or should I just go for the 12…

i was thinking about this the other day. i assume they would split them for parts; screens etc (the fate of numerous stolen/bricked iPhones in the uk)
or they can somehow wipe/flash the icloud lock… have heard it can be done but you may need a "donor" phone
