Where from?
Sky.
Ā£720 for the Pro alone. I wouldnāt get AppleCare.
Thatās insanely cheap. The phone is Ā£999 from Apple.
Buy it
I got it wrong, itās over 36 months not 24. Quite a misleading website
So itās not 720?
Itās not as if Sky hides the contract length, but it could be a bit bigger (not the phone you want I think, just an example)
I get mine from sky. Since Iām unlikely to keep the phone past 24 months anyway I sign up for the 36 on the full expectation sky will offer me a good deal for the next one. Get it sim free and then pair with EE. Have done for years, way cheaper than O2 etc.
EDIT: I should say, when you get to the 24 month mark and become āeligibleā for the swap they let you do this without additional costs and you just pay the new monthly device, since the trade in value (if youāve looked after it) covers whatās left.
For the first time, Iāve bought a phone case that Iām actually going to use just to make sure Sky is happy with it at the end of the 24 months
100% while glancing it looks to be a 24 month contract.
Well done for your maths.
Yours, with depreciation is probably the same price if not less.
No chance itās Ā£720 after 4 months.
But you should definitely get one. Treat yourself youāve been sick, and itās a good get well reward
Iām still pondering but Iām not sure itāll be much different to my 14 Pro. Iād probs not use AI, and the feedback on categorisation looks
Do you find you use any of it productively? Iāve not toyed with any AI tbh. I have Perplexity and only used it twice
I love the summary stuff, and the updated Siri functionality is due out in 18.4 supposedly so Iām hopeful thatāll be a big step forward.
I donāt use the categorisation on mail - but I turned it off in gmail years ago too. These things never categorise how I want it to be.
Ultimately itāll be faster, and newer than your 14. But honestly just wait till 18.4 beta comes out and see what people say about the updated Siri first imo
Wife had a phone from Sky, the 13. Trade in value was zero even though In perfect condition. Think they basically just wrote off the contact that was remaining.
I got the battery replaced in my 14 Pro when the 16 came out. Feels like a new phone. Hanging onto this one for a couple more years, the new ones never have anything exciting anymore.
Nothing, I bought a pair of jeans from Leviās.
Im not entirely trusting of these swap schemes in general, but no harm in trying to redude the damage to the phone just in case
Happy forum anniversary day
The one thing on my wish list for iOS 19 is categorisation in the Wallet app.
Keep cards at the top, but then have loyalty cards and other passes in categories like shopping, travel, hotels, etc. itās getting hard to wade through them all.
Most of the time summary has been good and when it hasnāt worked itās been a simple misunderstanding of whatās written.
This time was the first that Siri justā¦ auto corrected something to create a completely different thing.
Two texts from the fiancƩ:
- Responding to a text I sent about my tie at work
- Saying he had a lot of H&S things to do at work
Siri I suppose was linking them together, saw the tie comment but then just changed H&S to H&M.
All of these make me laugh to be fair. One of them was a response to me saying I canāt wait to be home and under the covers it was so cold and Siri was harsh at a glance:
At what point when you get these, like the last one, and think āoooh someoneās having a bad dayā before you realise Siri is adding the attitude?
