Will these have any kind of Apple warranty?

25 Nov 151#3
in the listing it says 1 year limited warranty...
but the seller is listed as in New York, I'm wary of non-UK addresses even if the item is listed as a UK location.
edit: the FAQs at the bottom of the listing say it's a US model, uk-us adaptor, 1yr Apple warranty.

If these are standard Apple Devices, then 12 months . Excellent thing is you can go to any apple store for help...but....
Its an Apple, you could purchase 10" Android for the same price. All depends if you are user of iTunes or IPhone etc...

I read reviews on Pixel and they all seem pretty good. I bought this deal last week for a Christmas present. It arrived quickly, the box is sealed and it came with an adaptor , voted hot from me!

Have a Blackberry playbook (which I love but getting slow and laggy), have a 9 inch nook hd+ android tablet, a 7 inch android tablet and a 7 inch windows tablet (even had a HP touchpad once). Problem with all of these are that apps are not available or won't run on my version of android. Quite frustrating so thinking of going down the apple route.....have a windows phone which I love so not interested in an iphone.
If this is their (Pixel's) normal price probably worth waiting for Friday and see what offers come up

For nook do cyanogen mod.makes a lot more apps work and a fine tablet for £50 but agreed with the whole android scene.

If you are going to pay full price for a 16gb mini 2, you would be better buying from John Lewis (£219) as you get a 2 year warranty.
There is a comparison page which shows all the ipads http://www.apple.com/uk/ipad/compare/
The Ipad mini 4 has only recently been launched and main difference is that it has a faster processor....

No latest version of a piece of hardware on this planet has a slower CPU usually, just saying, it is only worth pointing out when it is no faster or slower.

16gb is really not enough nowadays. I have a 32gb iPad Mini 2 and that is really the minimum acceptable amount of storage.
sancheez to ceebs
26 Nov 15#29
Ha ha ha!
I KNEW this would be in here somewhere!
Not enough for what?
I have a 16gb mini 2, wifi only, and have never run out of space on it. Had a 16gb mini 1 before it. Never ran out of space on that either.
If you want to store a lot of media on it (which I don't), then you have a point.
If you just install apps, then for the vast majority it's absolutely fine. I have plenty games and TV related stuff on mine and still have several GB free ...

Thinking about getting this one for my mum for Xmas,doesn't really need the 4 as she will only use it for eBay and going online. Can appreciate its a 2 year old tablet but that doesn't mean it's no good

Maybe I've misunderstood what your saying. The IPAD mini 4 is certainly faster than IPAD mini 2. Info taken from an independent review: "The iPad Mini 2 uses one of Apple's dual-core 1.3GHz A7 chips, whereas the iPad Mini 4 uses the newer dual-core 1.5GHz A8 chip – the same chip inside the iPhone 6. As a result, the iPad Mini 4 is significantly faster than the iPad Mini 2, scoring 1,694 and 3,058 in the single and multicore tests of Geekbench 3, while the iPad Mini 2 only managed 1,385 and 2,485 respectively in the same tests.
The iPad Mini 4 also has superior gaming performance compared to its older sibling, as it not only managed a higher score of 925 frames in the onscreen Manhattan test of GFX Bench GL (which renders at the device's native resolution and is almost double what the iPad Mini 2 managed with its score of 548 frames)."

I have a few of these for work (over 200!) and I have had all the various iPads. For this money - this is a great deal. Currently setting up 30 Mini 4's and so far I can't see what the benefits are. They device is taller but thinner - however it does have a smaller capacity battery. I have done a real life test on whether you tell it is lighter and nobody guessed right. Most people don't use the iPad for the camera - and the software is the same. I would be very happy to stick with the Mini 2 for this price.

Hmm, a Samsung S2 can be had for £198 (Inc cashback) which is a fair bit more tablet for £18 more. Still, decent for Apple fans.

Currys have a UK spec for £189 today plus possibly 10% quidco and the 32gb is £229
