Student Discount / O2 Open Excluded Devices

[MrFrenzy]

Looking to get the new iPhones when they're released, and have a student discount I want to use. I just wondered if anyone knows whether the new iPhones are excluded from the discounts? I remember years ago they were but don't know if that changed? Any ideas on the last couple years?

Yes they will be excluded so if you want to apply a student discount then you need to decide if your desire for the latest and greatest  outweigh your desire for the discount

If not you may need to wait a couple of months before going for the release date purchase

Sorry another question related to this… I’ve searched the forum and twitter/x but can’t find when o2 allowed discounts on the iPhone 15 after launch? 

my phone is on its last legs - I might upgrade to the 15 that’s on offer, and then in 3 months switch up to the 16 pro max and apply my student discount at that time. Anyone know?

It's not a fixed length of time.

O2 determine it by availability to supply demand.

If a device proves very popular and supply is restricted, it could be 6 months, conversely, it could be 6 weeks.
