Quick iPhone question please

Gustov · 2 Jan 2015 at 22:34

Hey chaps,

So I was mugged and had my iPhone 5 taken off me.

I have a new one coming in insurance tomorrow (brand new) and I was wondering what my best options are with regards to selling it and then buying out an iPhone 6 outright?

I see on the apple store that the iPhone 6 costs £619.

What am I looking at for a brand new 5 please?

This seems like the best option?

Bring your iPhone to any Apple Retail Store and we’ll give you immediate credit for its value toward the purchase of a new one

According to the Apple site, they will give me £110 for a brand spanking new iPhone 5 - that seems very low! The 6 will still cost me £509. Not worth it! I'll just hold out until the next model and buy on release.

Thanks for the advice guys, all makes complete sense. I'll wait for the 6 to drop in price once the 6s is out and keep the 5 for now. Just to clarify, it's the 32g model.

Also yes, I had to pay £50 excess.

Hey guys,

quick question - new phone just turned up and I can't restore my backup from the icloud as the Ios isn't up to date.

As I right I need to start the phone up as new, update the ios and then manually restore it?
