iPhone SE 2020

Jesus Vodafone are something else. Rang them on Friday to enquire about stock and the customer service guy swore blind that they hadn't received any iPhone SE 2020s yet - no 64GB, no 128GB and no 256GB.
I told him that I knew of people ordering and receiving one from Vodafone and he said no, I must be mistaken.

That's something else alright!!

I bought mine on their site and I'm still waiting on the €50 euro to be refunded into my account, however, they have sent €165 (!!!) credit to my phone in batches of €50/65/50 for some weird reason. Not that I've anything to spend it the credit on either, I'm just donating it when I can! So all in all, I'm not too pushed if I get the porting discount back but it's just a bit nuts!

Got a 256gb ordered for wife on vodafone same price as 128gb will be interesting to see what arrives. Terrible website took from saturday till tuesday to get order thru, got cancelled for no reason that we could find, support giving eir a run for money ( lol think eir was better).

vodafone website is riddled with errors and bugs - customer support told me i should use the app as that was "way, way better"

Ordered online (just about & I was overcharged - shocking system). Yep 128GB. Maybe the 256GB is out of stock? Did you try give them a call?

Yes, called them twice. Was told last week that I would get a callback when they got the stock in. Will try them again tomorrow.

Compared to the 11 Pro? Because you have to move further back (than a normal photo) for that too.

Never used a pro but I presume it’s better because of the extra telephoto lens.

Were you able to order on their site or did you have to do it over the phone?

PS - presume yours was 128GB. I am looking for 256GB which still says “not available online”

For insurance coverage outside of Apple Care, am I right in saying that repairs are via 3rd parties and not via Apple?

Or does the insurer pay for Apple out of warranty repairs?

Not sure about loveitcoverit but gadget insurance use Apple certified 3rd repairs. I got my Xs max repaired from a crowd in ballycoolin ind est over in blanc. Great service and screen was perfect.

Haven't checked insurance yet but on my old iPhone 11 I used LoveItCoverIt and was relatively cheap (about 8 or 9 euro) and covered everything.

EDIT: Only €6.69 a month for the Premium Plan ( for 128gb model - €6.49 for 64GB). I've just signed up for it!

So far I've bought:

Multipack Glass protectors (4 pack - even come with a handy guide tool for the perfect fit, case friendly too.)

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07MQ47B2H/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_327NEbKZFYH5Q

Spigen Ultra Hybrid case (fits like a glove and seems to be excellent quality. Great response from the buttons. Bought and used Parcel Motel, good price for a reputable brand like Spigen)

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B075SHQ5WT/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_y07NEb412AZ60

Clear Cover with Dust Proof Plug (bought x2 as they're so cheap!) ( I always get these cases with the dust port covers when possible. Minimal protection but I'd be very paranoid about moisture etc getting in the charging port so good to have imho )

What is everyone doing about insurance? Normally I would have the more expensive phones and used gadget insurance and added accidentally damage and loss normally €12.99pm (it’s come in handy a few times)

I see gadget insurance haven’t the se 2020 listed yet but I figure it should be around the same xr insurance. €7.99 + €1 for loss cover. It’s a pity apple doesn’t do the accidentally damage cover like they for the AppleCare+ in US.

What are all you doing, insurance it AppleCare+?

Received mine on Friday, only got to set it up yesterday. Finding the camera so good, the Portrait mode is great. First time transferring from iPhone (old SE) to iPhone...what a Godsend!

Now to find a suitable cover! Any recommendations?

Yep on the lookout for a decent slim cover myself, picked up a nice screen protector on adverts

Only detecting faces Reginald so yeah, in that case you may be disappointed. New baby in house here, it’s all that’s being photographed! :-)

Yeah Huawei do it that way too so I shouldn’t be too surprised. It’s not a massive deal anyway, I keep a pixel 2 on hand if I ever need to do a portrait of an object anyway.

Cameras is brilliant, portrait mode is excellent. Still get use to the size but great having Touch ID back and you do slowly get use to the screen size

I ordered the grip case from Dbrand use DEFRANCO link for 20% off

https://dbrand.com/defranco
Access code is DEFRANCO for 20%

I also ordered a few cheap cases I’ve had before on other iPhones and they are great quality.

Cheers Bobby, I’ll check those out.
Had a Spigen on the last one. Brilliant cover but quite chunky.

Portrait mode is awful on the 11 so I’d be rightly miffed if they’ve got it working on a single lens on this now.
