If you trade in after 2 years, there'll be some extension to your contract jiggery pokery that adds another 24/36 months of payments, along with all the CPI+x% increases that go with them.

Just buy interest free from Apple and add a VOXI 30-day sim for a tenner a month. It'll cost fifty quid a month but in two years the phone will be yours and you won't have seen your monthly bills creep because of the yearly increases.

Exactly what I have done, bought through Apple and getting a Voxi 30 day sim plan
 
Does anyone on here have an iPhone 12 mini? I'm trying to decide between the 13 and 13 mini?

I like the idea of a smaller device (having gone from an iPhone 5 to an XR previously and found it too big for comfort) but wondered what the experience of others was?

Whilst I haven't, a friend downsized from an XR to a 12 Mini last year and loves it.
 
Yep I really like my mini, but on a day out where I'm taking photos and videos the battery cannot handle it.
 
That makes a lot more sense. I was thinking, if it was £43 over two years that was an amazing deal whereas if it was £43 for three years it was actually pretty poor.

Actually works out fairly competitive with outright purchase and SIM-only if you stay the full three years.



The "extra" cost is that you'll effectively start again and sacrifice the third year which would have been cheaper. The effective cost of the initial plan then becomes nowhere near as competitive.

It's not an issue for me as I plan on keeping it for the full 3 years.
 
Id avoid any form of contracts, unless 0% APR or upfront (klarna etc.). Too many people are trapped in for 24-48+ months overpaying monthly and dont consider this, or want the new flashy phone to show off, but getting stuck in to a 3 year plan.
 
I want to be able to upload future pictures. If I absolutely have to, I'll sync them with one drive or something. Seems pointless to have 40gb of photos I'm unlikely to look at (but would like to keep).

Settings > Tap name > iCloud > photos and tap optimise iPhone storage.

It’ll leave all you’re photos on iCloud and remove the vast bulk of them. You’ll also be able to upload new photos at a later date.

You could also go settings > photos and chop and change more settings there. You could transfer the originals to a PC/Mac
 
I downsized from a XS to a mini, and haven’t looked back. 5.4 is just spot on.

It's a shame Apple aren't selling enough Minis to keep developing them, since everyone who uses one loves the size. The only complaint I've heard is that the battery life struggles in certain use cases, but if you just sit on wifi and use it for social media and browsing, the Mini gets eight hours screen on time, which is definitely not even close to terrible.

Maybe Apple will have a re-think if the 13 Mini sells better than the 12 Mini.
 
Honestly, I’m usually at about 30% by end of day when I pop it on charge. Been at work since 5 this morning and I’m only down to 92% at the moment. Okay, I haven’t used it much at work. But the battery life is more than enough.
