Where to buy ipad

koolpc · 11 Jul 2021 at 18:48

I am looking to buy the new ipad air. Would i be better off buying it at John Lewis because of the standard 2 year warranty? Any thoughts?

Also, can you recommend a decent screen protector for the new ipad air.

Thanks

I generally buy all my apple stuff directly from apple. Good idea to buy from JL for the additional year warranty though.

Screen protectors are pointless, just stick it in a case/sleeve.

Directly from Apple or Amazon if cheaper and don't bother with screen protectors.

Apple more expensive. Amazon cheaper (£20)...but, JL has 2yr warranty as standard.

So do Apple if you push them.

Then buy it from Amazon like I said?

Apple or John Lewis are the best places to go for Apple gear as their warranties are good and generally worth the piece of paper their written on!
Amazon has a lot of grey imports which is why the price can vary so much. This shouldn’t but does sometimes cause warranty issues with Apple.

I always prefer buying from Apple direct. If ever I've had an issue with anything and had to go back to them, one of the first questions they ask is "where did you buy this?'.

If you do you’d be as well waiting until August and getting a free pair of AirPods

If there’s a JL close to your Apple store they will match the price as an FYI

But without the 2 year warranty obviously...

I usually go John Lewis for the 2yr warranty - but you may want to consider Apple directly if you want to do a trade-in (usually they wont give you as much as selling your old stuff to CEX or game).

Going to see if Apple bring out updated ipad in september
