Blondi Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Hi, I'm wanting to get my daughter the iPhone 12 for Xmas, we're currently with 02 and not tied in, been thinking about switching over to Sky mobile, not sure if they're any good? Does anyone know of any decent monthly deals for the iPhone 12? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burndens Bogs Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Bought my daughter an iphone xs 2 years ago on a 2 year contract, phone cost £1000. Just before the contract ended, the phone is fucked - it won’t switch on. She looks after her stuff and the exterior is like brand new. I have a theory that apple kill the phones after 2/3 years through software updates or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be good business for them if all their phones lasted for years. Like i said, my daughters phone was £1000 2yrs ago, now it's worth £0. Fucking hate Apple.

I think we’ve peaked with phones. Wouldn’t surprise me if they started charging for software updates instead next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking hate Apple. slow down, stop working, same ball park, it's frustrating as fuck and you end up getting a new one another factor is technology goes at a rapid rate, so a 2 year old OS can soon become incapable of handling todays apps got a One Plus 6 miself - had it 2 years, only used 46% of 256gb storage, and reckon it will perform well for another 2 or 3 years at least https://www.oneplus.com/uk best phone I've had Apple don't even let you upgrade your memory with an SD card fuck Apple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daughters iPhone broke when it was 18 months old. Took it to Apple who tested it and found a processor fault. Replaced it for nothing. I'm sure the standard warranty is two years for a Apple and Samsung. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I switched from vodaphone to Sky in March as they had a brilliant deal on Got the iphone11 (latest at times), standard one (not pro or mini) for £40 a month. Includes more than enough data, calls etc. I’ve never gone above £40 a month. Was always £60 a month for the latest iPhones on Vodaphone but I did get Spotify with that (which is now costing me £6 a month) I was nervous in case the signal was Shite but it’s been fine It is a 3 year contract rather than 2 but you can upgrade after 2, think they are just trying to tie you down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
