But the iphone 6 is an older, lower spec phone than this, so surely this is a better deal if it's the same price?

Ment to be a absolute stress nightmare 02 refresh though aren't they? Heard loads of things about them damaging peoples credit files due to not having a straight forward process about cancelling airtime. Rather pay this price than risk refresh

up there for daftest comment of the year, since the phones are near enough brand new and most come with up to 12 months Apple warranty its a massive saving enough to make them a better deal.
16GB are currently out of stock but come in all of the time they don't have a 32 but the 64 less than this. iphone 7 are £270+ as well, check the feedback on the hot thread. Check out other Argos phone threads sure I remember then locking to first sim but could be wrong, it's all in the definition of sim free.

I've not had any problems. Pity the 32gb is out of stock at O2. But where they really £100? Its £112 for the 16gb currently.

5 Jul 171#11
Cold. Can get the 6 for the same price at O2. Even though they are "second hand" they are pretty much new. You also get the same warranty. Easy to unlock and cancel. The SE is only £100 too.

Some people would much rather pay the extra for peace of mind and security and take out the hassle of signing up to contracts, go through credit checks, going through cancellation processes, risk getting stung as people have been now and then, get an unlock code, get a second hand phone from o2.
I've seen the many great deals o2 refresh offer, but personally have never gone for them because there are a few who end up having to see the contract through.

Not sure it's fair to vote cold because it's not a 6. This is a great deal if you're looking for a small phone.

I just don't see it as a deal when there is a cheaper price for the same phone. Especially when there is a £100-£200 saving depending on what GB you want
I've put in a JL price match request as the wife's iPhone 5 battery is kaput, and she's wants a newer model with more features.
I said that I'm still the best looker she's ever going to get, but the new phone will sort the battery issue out.

Is this a lock to first sim version? I swap sims when going abroad, so no good for me if it does that.

From the description: "The sim is unlocked throughout the lifetime of the phone without restriction". In the questions & answers - argos support also confirm that the phone remains unlocked & doesn't lock to first sim.
Typical mindset of Apple fanboy. They think because they throw away several hundred pounds on a bit of mid-range tech only worth half that, it makes them better than everyone else. Sorry, money can't buy you class :laughing:

Only those who can't read or comprehend a contract.
You don't really believe that this is only worth half it's cost do you? It's a quality, very fast mid range phone

Great find. Although I'm holding out for an SE 2 whilst praying my 5C can make it till whenever that is!

It's easy to unlock but cancelling the contract is a pain. I've had 3 and after cancelling they've took out the full contract payment along with phone plan. It takes ages to refund so had to get bank involved for instant refund.
Effectively matches the Giffgaff one I grabbed a couple of weeks ago (£289 + £10 enforced topup), and very happy with it - 6S innards in a pocket / one-hand friendly package - so heat added.
Things to consider before purchasing:
- It still has 6S generation internals despite getting a storage bump recently. It'll be fine for at least a few years for sure, just bear in mind it's technology that came out in September 2015. This is still a pretty decent price when you think about the per-year cost of a device bought full price on day of release.
- If you like taking selfies, the front facing camera is a bit oldschool. I can't stand my own face, so no problems there :smile:
- Possibility of an SE2 in September... this is seeming more and more likely to me with all the SE deals flying around lately. But of course you'd be probably looking at about £400+.

There is an option to remove a £10 top up, it's not mandatory.

Help please?
Was just about to purchase iPod touch 32gb for 8 year old. Is this a better option (although she won't be making phone calls)??
K0YS
5 Jul 17#33
exactly my point with o2 refresh.
Bird68
5 Jul 171#34
I actually bought one pretty much as a replacement for an iPod touch (5th gen) and I'm kind of regretting it. The iPod has a much better screen and it's so slim and sexy. No idea about the 6th gen.
The one plus (apart from being able to make calls), is that it does sound significantly better.
So, yeah, not much help there.
gallopingbanker to Bird68
5 Jul 17#37
Actually that is good to know... I thought screen was the same on both. Sounds like iPod might be one to go for (if not requiring telephone function)

That second hand for your information usually still has apple warranty for up to 12 months in place as well as only 1-2 charge cycles on the battery.

Very easy to unlock and yes people have had problems with O2 continuing to take money out of their bank even after cancelling the contract

I saw people saying if they already had giffgaff they could, but for those who don't have anything active with them? I couldn't find a way.

iPhone SE is the best phone i've ever owned... and this is coming from a die hard android fan, I was just finding getting a good small screen android impossible so tried apple again after hating the 4s but the SE is just a joy to use.
