Is the 100Gb limit actually useful or is it just a big number to make you go ooooh? I don't usually go anywhere near my 2Gb limit but then I don't stream much.
Anyway, here's what a contract costs, comparing 24 months of 8Gb/month on EE. (Sure there are other deals, but they're my provider)
[b]
Full contract[/b]
Initial handset cost: 50
Total contract cost: 57.99 x 24 = 1391.76
Total: 1441.76[b]
Handset & SIM only[/b]
Initial handset cost: 700
Total contract cost: 21 x 24 = 504
Total: 1204
So more or less a tenner a month extra for a contract.
Why would I do that and waste £500?
The 7 128gb is £769 to buy from Apple + 18pm on your plan. Whilst assuming your £18pm as the data cost from O2 the and the remainder as paying for the phone it costs £504 from 02.
In reality the cost of the phone works out even less as a 5gb plan from 02 is over £20 pm.
Sim only deals make the most sense. Especially with the newest handsets. Agree with Jamba.
The maths disagrees.
Depends on the deal is the correct answer.
Oddly the SE is still silly money with 64+ gb
Look on eBay. 64GB ~£200 if you stalk suitable auctions.
I think Wilburt's right, but he's talking about an 'older' handset I think - he gets a good deal on a 7+ with his provider. There's incentive for the network to take a small hit on the price of the handset to keep you locked in because those phones will be getting discounted in lots of places.
Unlikely to see any good deals on the new handsets at the moment though so they can charge more for their contracts. That's why (in the example I gave at least) SIM only + buy the phone is cheaper.
Can anyone shed light as to why to upgrade/download ios 11.2 on an iphone 7 from 10.3.3?
As I have ios 11.2 on the ipad mini and have found it to be slow and annoying to use so far.
Does ios 11.2 improve battery life over 10.3.3 and improved security?
Do you guys in the know believe I should wait for ios 12 for the iphone 7 and not to download any updates after 12?
Anyone?
Are you saying you think there might be a specific issue with 11.2? If so they will sort it (I see 11.2.1 is out now)
Or are you saying should you upgrade in general? iOS 11 is fine on my 6S (still running 11.1 though). There are a couple of usability improvements that make it a no-brainer IMO. What's the alternative, just never update & miss out on new features, security updates, etc?
So there are much needed security updates ?
