I am currently on a refresh contract with an iPhone XS Max.
If I were to buy an iPhone 12 Pro outright from Apple, can I just take the SIM out of the XS Max and put it into the iPhone 12? Would it work straight away?
Do I need to speak to O2 about my contract?
Thanks

Yes it will work but the max data speed will be 4g.
If you are in a 5g area, you can calll into your local o2 store for a free 5g sim swap.
There's no need to tell O2 that you are changing phone.

Also, is it cheaper to buy a device outright from Apple and use the O2 SIM or buy the device on contract from O2?

Your airtime will be cheaper / better value if you just have a sim only tariff and buy the phone outright.

I can concur with that. I am O2 sim only (100GB and unlimited texts/mins for £20 per month) and have purchased the iPhone 12 Pro direct from Apple. It works out approximately £9 cheaper per month and you get more data allowance.
