Hey Richard,
We say a dogs breakfast here in NZ and I think they say the same in Australia
also.
You don't pay for 5g,
That's great,
I don't think my city has 5g yet let alone paying to have the service as well.

I have to say that I find it odd how American mobile providers sell their
phones to customers locked to the networks,
And apple do this as well on behalf of the providers.
In nz we only have 3 main providers and they all sell unlocked and unbranded
phones over the counter,
So I could buy from
My only other thought that hasn’t been mentioned- Are you signed into iCloud?
How much free storage space is available in iCloud? Is Blind Square turned On
to backup to iCloud? If you go to Settings, iCloud & swipe down to Blind Square
you can check to confirm that Blind Square is on to backup
'I wondered if your carrier was Xfinity. I won't bother with the details of one

Sorry to disappoint, but my carrier is Xfinity. The reason I didn’t
buy the phone from Apple was that Xfinity was offering a $250 rebate
on new iPhones in the form of a visa gift card. Also, Xfinity has a
yearly upgrade program where the customer can get the current iPhone a
year after
This is correct. When you order an iPhone directly from Apple, you can specify
your carrier from one of the Big 4 carriers, AT, Verizon, T-Mobil or Sprint,
and your iPhone will be ready to activate and use upon arrival.

I never had to get my sim card for my iPhone from Verizon. When I
ordered my iPhone 8, apple asked me who my carrier was, and I just
told them Verizon. I had a lady at a local Verizon store set up my

I have had the mini for a couple of months now and I really like it. And I find
the battery life better than the SE2? No complaints here but I suppose it has
something to do with the use of the phone.

Getting an iPhone directly from Apple, insures that the device will be
unlocked, and not tied to a carrier.

Well it's no longer working on either my or my husband's phone, but it has

I agree. I bought my iPhone 8 directly from apple, and had a great
experience. I'll probably do the same thing again once I save up
enough money for a new iPhone. I actually wouldn't be saving up for a
new iPhone if it weren't for the fact that my bottom speaker on my
iPhone 8 just died on me

If I jump to a 13, a big if since I just got the SE 2020 last year; I'm glad to
know that my carrier, Xfinity does not charge for the 5 G service.
I too would buy from Apple direct then get the SIM from Xfinity.
I was thinking the same thing.
