Get iPhone 12 mini half price and FREE AirPods: best Apple smartphone deals revealed
Apple has two new smartphones going on sale today including the mighty iPhone 12 Pro Max and the pocket-sized iPhone 12 mini. This smaller device could prove to be hugely popular as it’s not only easier to use one-handed but is also the cheapest of the bunch. The mini costs £699 which is £400 less than the Pro Max and despite its cut-priced cost and diddy design it still packs an impressive punch. For your money, you get a 5.4-inch OLED screen, fast A14 Bionic processor and picture-perfect dual-lens camera.
There’s also a more durable design thanks to Apple’s Ceramic Shield technology and this device can access the latest 5G data speeds which will whizz the web to the phone at speeds of over 300Mbps.

Three is also bundling a pair of AirPods with this contract which are worth £159.
VODAFONE: Vodafone is offering new something new via its trade-in programme. Those who own an iPhone X, XS, XS MAX or XR can hand it over to the mobile network in return for money off their monthly bill.

EE: EE is offering a range of deals including the new iPhone 12 mini on its Full Works plan. This bundle includes uncapped and unlimited mobile data plus access to Apple Music, Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade for a fixed price.
The iPhone 12 mini 5G 64GB is available from EE for £71 per month, plus £30 upfront fee on the Full Works. If that sounds a bit pricey the network is also selling the mini with 100GB of data for £64 per month.
