The iPhone's Assemblers
The components manufactured by those companies all around the world are ultimately sent to just two companies to assemble into iPods, iPhones, and iPads. Those companies are Foxconn and Pegatron, both of which are based in Taiwan. Technically, Foxconn is the company’s trade name; the firm’s official name is Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. Ltd. Foxconn is Apple's longest running partner in building these devices. It currently assembles the majority of Apple's iPhones in its Shenzen, China, location, although Foxconn maintains factories in countries across the world, including Thailand, Malaysia, the Czech Republic, South Korea, Singapore, and the Philippines. Pegatron is a relatively recent addition to the iPhone assembly process. It is estimated that it built about 30 percent of the iPhone 6 orders in its Chinese plants. |

Ok The Leopard you've talked me into it
 Not the 11 Pro just the 11.Buy from John Lewis £779. The way I say it the phone is a minimum 2 year investment so approx £30 a month or £1 per day for the phone. Sim I pay another £30 a month with 3. I have excellent 4G coverage where I live and the sim is unlimited data. So all in all for £2 a day for 2 years it seems a decent deal to me |

Steve, take a moment to think about this if you have not already ordered the phone. Do you really need unlimited data? Would 100GB not be sufficient? You can get the Iphone 11 on three contract, for £45 monthly for 24 months and no upfront payment. Thats £1080 total payment. Worth considering unless you really need unlimited data.

I have a 6 plus. I had similar problems with the screen...when typing in it didn't recognise what I was entering....thought it was a screen problem
took it to Apple shop who said it was a known problem and that replacing the screen wouldn't solve the problem. He gave me the choice of giving me a new 6 plus for £90. 1 year warranty. This I did because I was only paying about £8-10 a month SIM only. That was about a year ago. Obviously, I don't use much data. This has done the job for me and saved me loads. Replace my wive's iPhone 4 with a 7 a few months ago. What we did was took out a contract with O2. Under the terms of the approx £25-30 per month contract, we could pay off the balance on the phone approx £275 immediately after taking it out, then go to SIM only - with any company, but we decided to stick with O2. Had to clarify this with them several times as it seemed too good to be true. |

Steve, thats through Affordable Mobiles. Highly recommend them. Their phones come from Data Select which is Peter Jones ( Dragons Den) distribution company. I got mine delivered in only 3 days.

Got an iPhone SE on release 4 years ago and still use it. Still works as fast as ever but the battery doesn't last as long as it used to. They used to deliberately slow down older models after about 3 years but they got caught and stopped doing that.
Will probably upgrade to the latest version on the next release around Sept/Oct and I'll probably get a new battery for my SE then too as you can still use it like an ipod touch and for things like spotify etc. Wouldn't get any trade in value for it as the screen is slightly damaged. Batteries don't cost very much, about £50. Buy the new phone outright and get a cheap 30 day SIM only plan if you can afford it, you will save hundreds that way. If your 6 can be sorted I wouldn't bother and if the battery is degraded I'd consider getting a new battery. Google how to fix it and what people who've got a new battery say about it. Doing a hard reset might work. The 11 seems to be expensive because of the camera and unless you're into taking advanced pics I wouldn't bother. |

Steve, no reason to be nervous regarding supply by Data Select. In fact exact opposite is true They are a very respected company within the telecoms industry.

Does Apple still slow down older iPhones? Yes. Since Apple confirmed the practice in 2017, it has implemented it on several more iPhones including: iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6S, 6S Plus iPhone SE iPhone 7 and 7 Plus iPhone 8 and 8 Plus running iOS 12.1 or higher iPhone X running iOS 12.1 or higher iPhone XS, XS Max and XR running iOS 13.1 or higher |

How do I stop Apple from slowing down my iPhone?
Here's how to do it: Go into Settings. Tap 'Battery' Tap 'Battery Health' Scroll down to the 'Peak Performance Capability' option and toggle 'Disable' |

He must be using reconditioned phones or something and using a loophole to brand them as new. I won’t be investing my money in anything associated with Pete Jones. Just too dodgy |
|
By:
Ok Steve. Good luck with whatever deal you go for. I would not touch a reconditioned phone myself. Quite surprised at your assessment of the guy. I have the opposite view. Definitely brand new phones.

They only slow down an older phone when it has experienced an unexpected shutdown because the battery couldn't deliver peak performance power, not automatically, and you can reverse this if they do it.
