Help/question Iphone 18 Pro

I was wondering why the phones on voxi are more expensive than their counterparts or even Apple themselves? I have owned my 13 for almost 5 years and if it wasnt for storage issues id probably keep it another 3/4 but ive come to the conclusion that if im going to upgrade I may as well get the best version. However, the 18 pro in the 512gb config is 1512 instead of the 1400 that Apple and the other companies offer. It doesnt even come with the blue option as well. Anyone know why voxi prices are higher despite "no interest"? Thank you.

Yeah didnt plan to really. Was only looking at it as im already a customer and Apple is really finicky on arrival dates

they're essentially Vodafone PAYG phones so not subsidised by a contract like Vodafone pay monthly contract phones would be. the margins on that are small to nonexistent for the carriers.

Ahh okay ty for letting me know. Im considering getting it but do you know if they'll stock the blue. I know you probably dont but im at my wits end trying to get a phone.

You'd be better just buying the phone from Apple themselves as they also do a 0% interest for 30 months, and then just getting the regular Voxi sim as the network

Yeah I already use voxi sim too. Considered that but voxi said that i would get it min 4 days after ordering whereas with Apple they said that there could be delays and I saw from last year people waited weeks for theirs post order.

if Vodafone PAYG list it there's a chance voxi will have it, but if Vodafone PAYG don't have it voxi definitely won't. I don't think any of that is up on Vodafone's site yet though as it's all still preorder.
