New iphone 5SE - where to buy?

[rfisher]

An offspring needs a replacement iphone 5SE.

I'd prefer new to refurbed and 64Gb - so where is the best place to buy one?

GiffGaff and Carphone warehouse don't have 64Gb ones.

love the 5 SE perfect size.

I really want the 128gb but rare as hell.

Have you looked at apple themselves, I read they had new ones for sale in a sale, was American tho .

Can't see any on the UK Apple website.

The ones in America were refurbs.

Try eBay, someone will have a new one?

Thanks.

I'd prefer to buy from a large retailer if possible.

Not many 64Gb phones on Ebay either.

Love mine, and I got it from John Lewis - same price, but 2 year warranty.

The reason most retailers have 32gb phones is due to it being in manufacturer up until September last year.

The 64gb phone was discontinued 22 months ago so I imagine you won’t find one at a large retailer.

Good call, if in stock?

Yup - that'll do nicely.

Signed up for an email alert for when they are back in stock.

May even get 2 at that price for 128Gb.

Thanks

I bought an A** grade refurb'd one on Ebay a few months ago for £160. Perfect condition and all good so far.

Still new stock available at Argos and their Ebay outlet

So hopefully JL will get more in.

The website only only shows website stock and not store stock.

Phone your local store and ask them to check the stock system for all their stores which shows what each store is holding.

They are normally happy to send a message to any store holding stock and ask them to physically check, and if they do actually have one (when it gets down to a few stock control numbers may or may not be right) they will send it to your local store.

I currently have an SE 64GB but I'm thinking of upgrading to an XR?

Am I wrong?

Depends on whether you can live with the jump in size!. I love my XR though .Cant recommend it highly enough.
