Miles away damit! Don't suspose you're planning to offer a free delivery service with your comment? :wink: jk.

Thanks much... got John Lewis price match by referring Belfast store today... fortunately they had one left in the store when JL rings to check.... :smiley: Great help

As an owner of several great android tabs (2013 note is probably still the best imo) the IOS eco system is leaps and bounds ahead. Even my Surface 3 gets less play than my Mini2.

Their watches, the computers, hell even their wires are overpriced tosh, but they do Tablets better than anyone else sadly.

lol that fact you posted this on an iPad offer says you are trolling! do you have an iPad I bet not, as a user of both I can tell you they are well worth the money, less hassle, more apps and it works..

you can't fill out the online form as that's for JohnLewis.com and Sainsbury's don't sell it via their web site, just instore.
Find a Sainsbury's store that still has some in stock, then ring a John Lewis store and indicate that you are looking to buy a ipad air, but noticed that they being sold in store buy Sainsburys for £212.64, inform them of the store and their pass it to their in store price match team which will give you a call back with 24 hours (was 4/5 hours yesterday, depending how busy they are), you can either pick it up from the John Lewis store or their send it out to you.
The "3 year guarantee included at no extra cost" is until 24th Feb, then I think it go back to 2 year, plus for an extra £30 you can get 3 years accidental damage cover on top.

Order it from John Lewis with a Price Match from a Sainsbury's store in the country that still has some still in stock.
did mine today against the Sainsbury's Kempshott store (Basingstoke), there was also 1 left in the Alton store this morning.

bear in mind it has to be in stock when they check which in my case was 6hrs after i submitted the price match claim by which time there was no stock and they declined my claim

Stirling on Scotland !!!!

Probably discontinued, they are about to release the iPad air 3 so i doubt sainsbury's will get anymore stock, these are probably clear outs.

Just as I said on here 3 days ago :-) !

Just rang Pontypridd and they are oos

I've never had apple care and never needed it (fortunately) thats with the iPad's in the house being used by 3 young children constantly

Here, hear! second this bit of advice

Good advice, ive ways thought this with my phone.

Seems a bit overpriced in first place. John Lewis selling it for £29.99 and reviews don't look great but can't argue with £19

Thanks, picked up the last one from Warrington.

Cheers gave it a go

Hi! Just want to know if is it ios 8.1 when you first started it?

I think you get roughly 11Gb free when IOS is first installed. While 16Gb is not perfect it's what I have on my iPhone and has got a LOT better for me recently by moving photos mainly to the Cloud using Photo Library (also Music)

iPad Air 1 runs just fine on current IOS 9.2

Apple Stores will do warranty - You don't even (vitally) need to register! Apple know when any iDevice first activates by connecting to their servers! Apple Stores can access this "first activation" date.

i got rid of my £299 purchased ipad3 (hukd very.co.uk deal) after 3 years traded in and got £130 cash @ game absolute bargain ipad for me.

Only if the horses have been fed so they can power the mill

Yeah just about ! We also have running water and roads . Best place in the UK to live !!!!!!

Apple won't do a budget iPhone. Press said the same about the 5C been a budget iPhone, it wasn't.

Great price for the iPad Air (if you don't already own an iPad) battery is all but dead on my iPad 4 (daily charging since release), but 1GB ram again! I've had far too many Safari crashes to stick with 1GB ram, otherwise I'd jump. Need an upgrade, not more of the same, 1GB = a nope, will wait for an Air2 upwards - tempting though, as a new battery is £83.

There is a comparison you have overlooked and that is the price difference.

How can you say there is no comparison? Lol

I beleive it's an AIr 1

Hey, I called yesterday and they said they had none in stock? :/

1/3 of all your posts.. Well done

Air 1

Incorrect as I bought 1 in the evening and they still had 2 left

That's somewhat limiting on a wifi only device...

Cloud ain't much use if I'm travelling and want a whole bunch of entertainment stuffed on it. I guess I could pop it all on a nice 64gb SD card and shove it in though..right? :-)

Basic tablet price, but the specs on this tablet far outweigh most of the £200 Android alternatives around today.

nothing venture nothing gain lol

That's a bit harsh :wink:

iOS updates will rarely brick devices. Its more planned obsolescence. Also no point waiting if its going to be a present. This all said i do get what you are trying to say

so you can flog em on ebay?

I believe its just 16gb, they have applecare for £26 if anyone interested

where abouts in newcastle? heaton is my local store

Quite amazing timing with that post as this is the exact reason I stopped using the iPhone as an update knackered it.
Apple tend to like it if you continue to get there latest models.

This seems to be the iPad Air (1) which went on sale in late 2013. It's been available for £319 for over year now, since they released the iPad Air 2 in late 2014.

The iPad Air 3 - which was not released according to the usual annual schedule in late 2015 - is expected to be announced on March 15, 2016. It will probably be in shops by late March / early April, probably starting at £399 for the 16gb version (the grand-son/daughter of the model in this post).

Two points:

1.
16gb is really very restrictive with iPads, even more so than with iPhones. You can expect about 11gb to be available out of the box (since some storage is consumed by the operating system). It's fine for light web browsing and streaming, but anything involving media - such as magazines and videos - will become very annoying with only 11gb.

2.
This model is now two-and-a-bit years old. It should receive iOS 10 this year, and iOS 11 next year. But Apple will probably move to integrate more closely features like TouchID (the fingerprint reader on the home button) and 3D touch (where pressing harder on the screen previews emails, etc), which were first introduced with the iPad Air 2. You may not want or need these features, but they are worth considering in terms of the long-term life of the tablet.

All told, this is a great price if you are happy with the storage and just need a tablet for web browsing, organising stuff (email, calendar) and streaming videos (Netflix, Amazon Prime Video). If you are going to play games, store media on the device (e.g. for long-haul flights) or want to guarantee the long-term ownership of the tablet, you might be happier after spending a bit more on the iPad Air 2 today, or the iPad Air 3 next month.

Hope this helps.

Never understood people who claim this - if this happened to me I'd assume something went wrong in the upgrade and tried restoring the device again.
My 1st gen iPad Mini is spec for spec, basically an iPad 2 (early 2011 spec) and it's still getting updates 5 years on. 9.2.1 was the most recent and it runs like it did when new, never noticed any slow down whatsoever.

Which Exeter store please?

​at this price? If so, ill be checking out my local

​the pro?
