The iPhone 6 is due to be released over the next couple of months (although no-one actually knows when), and you\u2019re probably very excited. So excited, in fact, that you\u2019re planning to splash out over \u00a3500 to buy one.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, you…erm, don\u2019t actually have \u00a3500. But don\u2019t let a little thing like that get you down, our fellow gadget addict – just use some of the methods in this guide and you\u2019ll have enough to buy your own iPhone 6 in no time!<\/p>\n
The obvious one. Sell your iPhone 5 with musicMagpie <\/a>(or your 4s, or whatever you\u2019re using) and you\u2019ll be well on your way to hitting that magic \u00a3500 mark.<\/p>\n The average Brit drinks 11.5 units of alcohol a week<\/a>, which works out to roughly 6 pints of lager or glasses of wine.<\/p>\n Depending on where you live, this amounts to about \u00a321 – that means cutting alcohol out between now and the iPhone\u2019s expected launch date in October will save you about \u00a3168. And let\u2019s be honest: a lot of us probably drink more than \u00a321 a week anyway!<\/p>\n This little psychological trick might help you spend less.<\/p>\n Buying stuff on your card is easy. Somehow, spending on your card feels like less of a transaction, whereas handing over a bunch of tenners can feel slightly daunting. Hence, when we use our cards, we\u00a0 can end up spending more.<\/p>\n So, from now until the iPhone 6 is released, don\u2019t use your card for anything and pay using cash instead – you might be surprised how much you save.<\/p>\n Are you the person who bores all your friends with highly-opinionated tirades on music? Or do you just fancy getting paid for listening to new bands?<\/p>\n Well, good news: now you can. Slicethepie<\/a> is a website that pays people to listen to unsigned bands and offer their opinion. You get paid based on the length and quality of your review, as well as how well it fits with the general consensus (so you can\u2019t get away with writing \u201d\u02dc1 star, rubbish, lolz\u2019 for every track you\u2019re presented with).<\/p>\n Admittedly, it\u2019ll take you a while to make the \u00a3500 for an iPhone, but it\u2019s a nice little earner on the side.<\/p>\n We live in a society where we\u2019re encouraged to buy loads of stuff (case in point: a new iPhone). While this isn\u2019t necessarily a bad thing, it does mean that a lot of us have a lot of stuff that we don\u2019t actually need.<\/p>\n Luckily, that stuff you don\u2019t need is probably worth some money. And what do you know? You\u2019re on a website where you can sell it! If you\u2019ve got CDs, DVDs, Games, Clothes or Electronics you aren\u2019t using any more, see how much you can get for them on musicMagpie<\/a>…then spend the cash on your shiny new iPhone.<\/p>\n Even though the cost of living is going up, there\u2019s actually more free stuff than ever. Gaming-wise, our phones are portals to thousands of fun experiences that don\u2019t cost a penny (unless you develop a serious addiction that culminates in you spending thousands of pounds on trophies and other useless trinkets like this guy<\/a>).<\/p>\n If you love movies and music, you can pick up a free trial to something like Netflix or Spotify. While you do have to register your card details, you can cancel after a month of free movies and music. Excellent!<\/p>\n Are you planning on buying the iPhone 6? How are you planning to save for it?
