iPhone 12
Apple have unveiled their latest iPhone 12 devices with a fresh new design and support for faster 5G mobile networks. This year, you can choose from the following handsets from Apple:
- The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Mini: The iPhone 12 is Apple’s popular mainstream smartphone. It’s been upgraded this year with a new OLED screen and a new 12-megapixel dual-camera system. The phone is both thinner and lighter than last year’s iPhone 11 and also has the addition of faster 5G connectivity. The iPhone 12 has a 6.1-inch screen and the iPhone 12 Mini has a smaller 5.4-inch screen.
- The iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max: If you’re looking for a more powerful iPhone, you can upgrade to the iPhone 12 Pro. It adds a triple-camera system along with LIDAR depth sensing, more storage and uses a stainless steel body instead of an aluminium body. The iPhone 12 Pro has a 6.1-inch screen and the iPhone 12 Pro Max has a larger 6.7-inch screen.
All four devices are available to buy on Sky Mobile. You can now buy the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro. Meanwhile, the iPhone 12 Mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max are available for pre-order, with delivery due on the 13th November.

Sky Mobile Features
Data Rollover
Each month, any unused data from your Sky Mobile allowance will rollover into your Sky Piggybank. It’ll be stored there for up to 3 years and you’ll be able to withdraw from the Piggybank whenever you want extra data to use in the future.
For instance, if you get the iPhone 12 on Sky Mobile’s 20GB plan and you only use 10GB of data in one month, the remaining 10GB of unused data will rollover and will be added to your Sky Piggybank. The data in your Sky Piggybank will continue growing over time (e.g. you might have 60GB of data in your Piggybank after 6 months).
You can withdraw data from your Piggybank whenever you like. Alternatively, you can also share your Sky Piggybank data allowance with other phones or SIM cards that are linked to your Sky Mobile account. For instance, if another family member also has a Sky Mobile SIM card, you’ll be able to assign data from the Sky Piggybank on to their plan.
As an alternative to withdrawing the data, you can cash in your unused data for Sky Piggybank Rewards such as a discount on a new phone, tablet or mobile accessory. Alternatively, you can convert your unused data into a voucher for the Sky Store where you can buy or rent movies and TV shows with your voucher.
Unlimited Streaming on Sky TV Apps
If you’re a Sky TV customer, you’ll get access to a feature called Watch when using your iPhone 12 on Sky Mobile. This allows you to watch Sky TV channels using Sky applications without it counting towards the download allowance on your plan.
You can use all of the following apps from Sky without it counting towards your data allowance:
- Sky+
- Sky Go
- Sky VR
- My Sky
- Sky Store
- Sky Kids
- Sky News
- Sky Sports
- Sky Sports Mobile TV
- Sky Sports Box Office
The content you’re able to watch within each application depends on what your Sky TV package includes. For instance, if your TV subscription includes the Sky Sports channels, you’ll be able to watch the Sky Sports channels on-the-go through your mobile phone.
If you’re not a Sky TV customer, you’ll still be able to watch free-to-air content such as Sky News without using your data allowance.
5G Coverage
The iPhone 12 is Apple’s first smartphone to support 5G coverage. You can access 5G coverage on Sky Mobile using any of the iPhone 12 devices, with this being a free upgrade for anyone who signs up to the Sky VIP loyalty programme (free to join).
The 5G coverage on Sky Mobile allows you to benefit from ultrafast download speeds that are five to ten times faster than 4G. You’ll also benefit from a more reliable connection in busy or crowded areas and reduced lag due to the greater network capacity and lower latency offered by 5G technology.
You can check the availability of 5G coverage in your area using our Sky Mobile 5G coverage map.
Swap
You can also benefit from a feature called Swap when buying the iPhone 12 on Sky Mobile. This gives you the flexibility to upgrade your phone at any time. This can be done either by swapping your device for a new one or by upgrading to a newer phone and still keeping your old one.
Normally, on the Swap24 plan, you can upgrade your phone after two years with nothing further to pay. This is providing your old phone is still in good condition. This is ideal, for instance, if you’d like to upgrade to the iPhone 14 in two years time.
Alternatively, if you’d like to upgrade early or keep your old phone after upgrading, you’ll need to pay extra to upgrade. You may, however, be able to cash in some of your Sky Piggybank data to save money on your new phone.
Keeping Your Phone Number
If you’re switching to an iPhone 12 on Sky Mobile, it’s easy to keep your current phone number.
To do so, you’ll simply need to get a PAC Code from your old network. You can get one through your old mobile network’s website or app, or by texting PAC to 65075. Once you have this, you can order your new iPhone 12 from the Sky Mobile website.
When your new iPhone 12 arrives from Sky, it will initially have a temporary phone number assigned to it. You can then submit your PAC Code online through this form on their website and they’ll move your phone number over on the next working day.
For step-by-step instructions on moving your phone number to Sky Mobile, please select your current mobile network from the drop down menu below:

Hi Alastair,
Thanks for your comment. Sadly, Sky Mobile don’t currently have support for the eSIM technology that is required by Apple Watch. Hopefully this will launch sometime soon, but for the time being, you’ll need to go to EE, O2 or Vodafone.
