It's back again. It was just 0% with PayPal before but now it's Barclays. I've had more success with Barclays Finance before so this may be better for some people.
Sorry link in deal does work, copy and paste this! http://www.apple.com/uk/shop/browse/finance/loan
I know finance isn't for some people but with 0% over 12 months it may help some! It's 14.9% for a longer term.
15% with a valid Unidays account, I used my girlfriends with success.
Queue the finance Apple haters ;) Merry Christmas.

*facepalm* For the umpteenth time:
Making use of finance products does not mean you are broke
Broke people are not the sole users of finance
For some, using 0% finance products presents an opportunity to earn money back in the form of interest on a wedge of money you would otherwise spend in one go by drip feeding it into the total cost of the product over a longer period of time
If this does not make sense to you read it again until it does.
Also, it's you're, not you

I went for this last year, literally just paid off my 12th and final instalment 8 days ago.
I could have afforded to buy my iMac straight up, but just found it easier to pay monthly... much easier.

Same I opted for the iPhone 6 64GB Last year this year I'm debating about an iPad Pro 128GB WiFi + 4G or a MacBook... Barclays Finance is brilliant easy and simple.

Yep I agree it's much easier and saves you paying everything in one go. I looked a couple weeks ago and they only had the PayPal interest free option but now they have Barclays. Never had a problem with them.

How is it "easier" to pay it in 12 installments if you have the money to pay it off in....1 installment?

Tried signing up for a UniDays Account but needs to confirm a study institute.. :disappointed: I still have my 6% Off Work portal which is better than nothing I guess! Would love the 15% Discount though! Anyway to get through to the portal using someone else's Uni ID then Just making Finance Payment as Normal as myself or would that get checked?

Just get a 0% credit card, then have the best of both worlds!

I used unidays student discount through my nephews student ID - obviously, I was buying the macbook pro for him :wink:
Not sure if it's possible to get student discount + this 0% finance offer as well though, that would be great if possible.

Ignorance of the dangers of debt is indeed still rife in society. Other than mortgage there's no need. "I can afford the payments" is fine until you have an emergency or a change in your circumstances. Far better to pay in full.

Same here. Its got some educational thing encoded in the URL I think. Just go to the regular store.apple.com/uk site. You may have to clear your cookies though as this URL screwed them up for me.

I think the link is fixed now! EDIT Nope it doesn't seem to want to correct. I've edited description, maybe a mod can fix the link! Strange.
I used 15% discount from my girlfriends Unidays account and signed up to finance with my details so that works.

that's because there is no educational discount on phones, just computers and iPads.

So Barclays is the only major bank in the UK not to support apple pay, yet they offer interest free credit for the apple store......

0% financing? Usually a sign a line of new products coming in soon like the much needed updates to the macbook pro.

27 Dec 15#55
I guess paying off £150 a month for 12 months when you have a salary of say £3,000 coming in every month is easier than one £1800 hit payment.
You can still afford to spend the £1800 in one go but might as well do 150 and spend rest on something else.
However, the argument that some people do this to earn interest on the 1800 is ridiculous to me. Pretty sure the interest is insignificant if you're happy enough to spend 2 grand on a machine.

Excellent offer ordered the new macbook last night on this deal, with usb c adapter through unidays portal so 15% off Barclays finance instantly accepted. Had money to pay off in one go but nice to spread over 12 months @ 0%

looks like this is expired - I can't see any 0% options here.
(Also the student discount was only 5% or thereabouts on an iPad - is that not what was offered before?)
