Perhaps for the Android boys and girls.. never? Get an Android phone!
With that addressed. Will set the seen. I have an iPhone 12 64GB unlocked. I had it from November of the release year of the phone. Was on a great unlimited data deal with EE for 24 months which was significantly chearper than same phone on 0% APR for 24 months from Apple and unlimited Data sim only from EE. The contract came to an end just after the iPhone 14 came out. I saw no justifable reason to jump to the 14 and another 24 month contract. Was on here doing 4G router things when heard about Lebara so switched to them. Another 12 months on and iPhone 15 has been out for a few months. And am still on my iPhone 12. Battery health is 84%. Not really noticed the phone lagging. The other half has upgraded to 14 (she always upgrades on EE once end of contract and start a new contract) and can't say I feel like I am missing out. I also like to avoid mid-contract price rises - especially given how much they jump up with inflation how it has been the last couple of months.
At present, use the 12. £15 a month 30 day contract for 30GB SIM from Lebara. Have a Huawei Wingle (Wireless Dongle) with £10 a month 30 day contract for 20GB SIM from Lebara. Mainly used in car for kids devices.
I saw a deal for an iPhone 14 on VF 24 month contract. £36 a month. 400GB of data. Which given my historic data usage is the same as unlimited data. That's cheaper than same phone from Apple on 0% APR for 24 months and a Lebara unlimited data sim (30GB is highest before unlimited). Looks a great deal. Things putting me off mid-contract price rises. No EU roaming unlike Lebara which is included.
So keep the 12 for another 12 months. Wait for the 16 to come out. Nab a 16 or a 15?
Any apple / iphone users - have all the bugs / launch glitches been fixed on the iPhone 15s now.
The other option is my Dad (80+) has paid of his 13 Pro Max. So might make him an offer for that, based on what Apple is offering him as a trade in.
So thoughts. I have an Android as a work phone - although it is really locked down - but seems really good for the price point - a Samsung A33 5G
While at it, my son is going to get his first mobile, prob going to be iPhone too, he'll be 11 shortly, so thinking a iPhone SE 2020? (v2). Good idea?
Thanks in advance for all input, opinions.
