Who cares about O2 hassle when it is 16GB only with no charger and 3 months warranty? Lol

I'm always wary of proprietors claiming how successful their business is whilst simultaneously posting thousands of comments on HUKD............F.O.S. comes to mind.....

Please post the rubbish O2 deal so I can vote cold on it.

Almost £300 for a phone that's almost a year and half old! :confused:
I'm struggling to see how this is a deal!

Still not as good as O2 for £102 with 1 year warranty :smile:

£300 !!!

just bought thanks op

You sold five of them for more than you would pay in Cex or the like with an original box?

You're clearly a Jedi.

I'm afraid not, had a phone business for 25 years, you got to have the punters i'm afraid and still provide the service when there are problems :wink: I've fitted 9 Iphone screens today, whilst fitting everything else in :wink:

Just another week in the shop mate :wink:

I bought this for 340 about a month ago. Does anyone know if JL will discount the difference?

>magimix or whatever you're called.. I wouldn't buy from you if you were the last phone seller on planet earth!

"Just another week in the shop mate"..you say

..yeah I've seen "Open All Hours"..are you the one with the nice little tank-top riding the delivery bike !?

I was forced to vote hot just to cancel out the cold vote from this dreamer

I agree, the O2 refresh method that gets you a pretty much brand new SE for just over £100 as well as 12-month o2 warranty and pretty much always 3-12 months directly with Apple albeit not the easiest but definitely justifies a whopping £200 saving in my opinion. Got a Rose Gold version for my mum and she's very happy with it.

Appreciate there are cheaper and probably better phones out there for the same money, but if you want to stick with iOS, then this is about the best way or doing it as cheaply as possible

So you bought phones via O2 refresh using a personal account, rather than trade, then sold them on through a business.

Is that even legal?

Nothing personal but just based on what you've said here, as a buyer I'd avoid your business on principle. 150% mark up, and exploiting a loophole to obtain a competitors stock (thereby reducing availability to the public via that method) isn't a business model I'd want to support.

Because it not an Android phone & will continue to get updates long after the current & last years Android flagship's has stop receiving them.

The SE is perfectly capable of running this year iOS 11 & possible 12 aswell thanks to the A9 & 2GB of ram, so there is at least another good couple of years left in this phone before it starts to slow, Apple only recently released a new iPad with the A9 so it shows there is plenty life left yet in the chipset.

There's as much life as apple allow. While manufacturers stop supporting after awhile.. don't believe samsung are any different. (S5 got updates officislly).

Failing that.. and this is where android or samsung is superior... you can flash whatever you want and keep up-to-date unoficially through community builds which are often better anyway.

One major benefit of having an Apple product is that if it develops a fault you can take it into an Apple store and they'll replace it immediately. I've taken phones that were over two years old in and they have replaced them under warranty.

Yes, it does make a difference if you buy it direct from Apple. If the phone is over 12 months old and purchased elsewhere Apple will tell you to take it back to the retailer you bought it from.

I have a iPhone SE,great little phone with excellent battery life and a superb camera

Don't believe everything you read on the interweb :wink:

" Pretty much " brand new isn't a term that instills confidence in our seller/buyer relationship! ;p

Well done. HUKD is not all about spending money then!

Look at the O2 deals. £102 for 16G and was £192 for 64G. I got a 64G and it was in immaculate condition and never been used.

Only trying to be helpful, don't have time to read all the comments, if you want to ignore it just do that!

Can I buy a refreshed SE without first being on an O2 contract?

How an iPhone se can sell for 300 is beyond me. Garbage

Imo only a deal around £600 for the latest iphone is a DEAL. Just because rrp of an old phone is high at apple doesnt make these attractive to me.

In addition to the 2 year warranty, another good point to buying from John Lewis is that the iPhone's they sell are completely unlocked and remain unlocked after inserting a SIM, so you can easily swap SIMs and use local SIMs in foreign countries when travelling. These are the same as the one's sold directly by Apple.

However, so-called "SIM free" iPhone's sold by Argos and Carphone Warehouse will become permanently locked to the network of the first SIM you insert, and only work with UK SIMs so are no good at all if you want to change networks.

Good point. Can't speak for Argos etc but for those considering buying on o2 refresh, you are a contract customer, and can unlock the phone from o2 using the online form thingy. Just remember to do it before cancelling the contract.

Funny you should mention milk as several supermarkets have been subject to widespread boycotts at times due to their underhand trading practices. The supermarkets responded by producing lines of milks with assured supplier pricing and internal regulation.

I suggest you 'get a grip', because how you spend has the power to influence the market, and if you have any decency at all, you exercise that power judiciously. It's called consumer power and it's basic economics.

Amazing deal. I always promote plus net aka LIFE

Can anyone recommend one of these as an upgrade from an Iphone 6? Or is it just very similar? I'm struggling to decide whether to order one... Thanks.

I totally agree, especially with Apples "planned obsolescence".
There are sites like XDA and MoDaCo with communities that support Android devices for years after any manufacturer abandons support!
So you get the best of both worlds, a high spec value for money product, without making any compromises.

***URGENT***

Has anyone received their phone from John Lewis please? If so, does anyone know if the phone will lock to the network of the first SIM card please?

"The phones sold there (John Lewis), and also from Carphone Warehouse will lock to the first SIM inserted and activated. If you want a truly unlocked phone, you need to purchase it directly at Apple."

Many thanks!!

Not sure about "***URGENT*** - you're linking to a discussion from 2015 - but the John Lewis product page has the reassurance you are asking for, surely, in the paragraph just under the price?

from JL

Space Grey version only back in stock - more than 10 available - ordered!
