BPP I’ve got an iPhone 12 128gb (I’ve just seen a value by a refurbished company for £85). Would that be of any interest to you?

buffy Hi
I actually have that option as my Granddaughter still has her 12 after she upgraded to the 16 .. I was thinking the pro models as they seem to have a better camera .. But many thanks for the kind offer ..

Have a look on Amazon 🤷🏻♂️ they sell refurbished items in Warehouse Deals.
I got a reworked Dell laptop a few years back and has worked a dream, only issue is rubber ring round screen peeling slightly

You can already installed Graphene on Google Pixel phones too. The OS may be secure, but what about the hardware?

Paying a fair chunk of money to get the pro over a normal version just for a better camera?
Keep your eye on a the battery health, anything under 80% and it’s quite degraded. If you still want Apple updates go for at least a 14 if the phone is to do you a few years.

Many thanks Guys for all the help .. advice .. mirth and recommendations
Have taken them all on board
Berkey .. I have not a clue for what more than half the things do on an iPhone but the camera is probably more important to me than refresh rate .. chips .. nits .. ceramic shields..and cores as I do like to take Pics .. good advice re the battery health .. Cheers

Plug the charger in. Iphones are usually difficult to switch off and on for some reason but plug the charger in first, make sure it’s got enough battery then press and hold the single button on the right (if it’s still the same layout as my iPhone 13)

Are you definitely fixed on an iPhone vee?
If not, and you can hold on for a wee while, it might be worth waiting for Black Friday/Cyber Monday.
I managed to get a Samsung with 250 quid off last week on Prime Day.
Was tempted to give the Nothing Phone a shot, but it doesn`t have enough guaranteed software updates for my liking, unfortunately.

Argos currently special offer on Samsung A17 which appears good enough for my basic needs.
Trawling around for deals.
