Mobile Phones of Doctor Who - Joy To The World


Welcome to this very silly series of blog posts where I attempt to identify all the mobile phones used in Doctor Who.

The 2024 Xmas special is fairly light on phones. Right at the end, we see Ruby Sunday calling her mum.

Ruby's phone with a square camera cluster.

And a shot of the base of the phone.

It looks like it's the same phone as last season albeit now in a bright yellow case.

Probably a Pixel 5

The only other phone-like device is Joy's Mum's iPad.

I've no idea which model iPad that is, but it looks like the case clasp will be covering the camera.

To keep you busy until 2025, you can read all 27 blog posts in the series.

    @Edent Hmm, am I right in remembering that they moved the location of the front facing camera to “landscape mode” only recently? (A quick google suggests so). Not that it matters with TV magic of course. That’s probably a video and there’s no self view in the corner

    Must be an iPad Air 4th Gen. It’s the only one without a Home button available in 2020 (assuming they’re being true to time)

    Also assuming it’s actually an iPad!
