Hi all,

I own an iPhone XR which, whilst still works, is beginning to show its age. I'm looking at the cost of new iPhones as being quite expensive - at least £40 per month/36 months and I'm tempted to buy a cellular Apple Watch or Ultra 2 to try and prolong the life of my XR for a much smaller monthly cost of £18 (AW) - £23 (AWU)/48 months.

I was leaning towards the ultra as its battery life will hopefully fair better over the four years.

Does this sound like an insane plane or am I on to something in terms of cost savings?

For context, I rarely use my phone but occasionally need it for calls, texts and to act as a sat nav and play podcasts in the car.

Thanks

I’m sorry, what? The Watch Ultra 2 is as expensive as an iPhone 15: £799. You can get financing plans for both, but I don’t see why you would. The Series 9 starts at half the price, but with no cellular and no sapphire.
