If you really want to tempt yourself Very are doing buy now pay in 12 months. Delivery 18th March. Whack the money into a stocks and shares ISA make some interest and get a discount (maybe).

There’s no displays now until May so that’s me waiting anyway. Did look into the bnpl thing though and, had there been displays available, I’d have probably gone for it.

Looks like the Studio is selling well. Now not available until April on Apple and not available at all on John Lewis and Very (notably both offering interest free credit).

Is this general new tech though? I was half tempted to get the Samsung S8+ but both itself and keyboard are a bit scarce unless its the bigger version.

Just picked up a studio - just the base one not the gazillion pound one - and now I’m looking for the display. They don’t seem to exist rn.

Hang on! The reviews aren’t amazing for it. I don’t need the camera, so could I get away with any old computer monitor or perhaps even the smallest of oled?

Just seen that in my feed. I’ve got a perfectly good LG for less than half the price.

So what’s my best alternative then do you reckon? Was gonna drop £1500 so it’s not like I’m on a tight budget.

So I think I screwed up.  Again.  Advice please?

UK Gov Website on rules for refunds when goods bought online:

You must offer a refund to customers if they’ve told you within 14 days of receiving their goods that they want to cancel. They have another 14 days to return the goods once they’ve told you

I ordered my iPhone Mini on the night of the 9th. I attempted to cancel early on the 10th, before it was dispatched, but it was delivered regardless on the 11th. It's now been sat in a drawer at work and I won't be in the office until next Wednesday.

So I guess tomorrow marks 14 days since delivery. I'm hoping I can still return it and get a refund, even though I won't be able to post it for another 6 days? is that right?

I've just been doing some calculations and.... Christ, eBay are onto an absolute winner aren't they?!  12.8% of any sale, so even if I sold this for the price I bought it at, I'd still end up £75 in the hole.

I need to get working on my own auction site.  Easy money!

Or just do what your own research has shown you you can do, and what Yoss said you can do: just tell them you want to return the goods. you then get ANOTHER 14 days. So tell them already! in an email! make sure you get acknowledgement, if you bought from Apple there's a special returns process just click the button man

Thought this might be of interest. Apparently back in the early 90s, there was an internal Apple project to get System 7 running on x86 architecture called Project Star Trek. This predates Apple's switch to Intel silicon by 13 years. If you're wondering about the name, it's because they were taking an Apple OS "where it had never gone before".

You have time I think. You have basically started the returns process, which is the only thing you have to do within 14 days of receipt (receipt of goods not purchase, btw). Now you have a time window to send the goods back from that start point. Usually it’s 14 days, I’m not sure there’s a legal maximum

I set up Face ID with mask. Seems like it just turns into Glasses ID.

They are bloody brilliant.
Most extravagant, yet best purchase I’ve made in a long time.
The convenience is subtle but I’d never go back to cheapo ones now.

I’m very tempted to get an 13 mini now I’m out of contract on my 11 pro. Last of the minis apparently , which is a real shame, the size and format seems great.

The iPod died when the classic was discontinued, IMO. The iPod Touch always felt like a different product category, less of a music player, and more of an iPhone for people who didn’t want a contract.
