Try posting it, it might beat your last deal

I was going to buy one until I read this comment. You seem like a genuinely knowledgable chap who would never deliberately mislead anyone because Apple products are too expensive for you. Thanks for saving me from wasting 250 quid on this substandard toy.

If I sell you a piece of turd for 20p, would that still be a hot deal?

This is old tech as you say, and to pay over 200 quid for it is outrageous.

what a foolish comment,you bring me a better tablet at £250 with same build quality and then make nonsense comments.ok?

Anyone found a good price for the official Smart Case?

So true!

​ipad defo worth an extra £50, I'm no tech expert but the screen was noticeably better when I went to have a look in Curry's and it felt all round quicker to use. if the tab A was £150 I might have gone for it though

I've seen people selling brand new sealed iPad Air 2 for £300 on Gumtree and eBay I would much rather pay £50 extra for the newer model

Not sure if the grade a 32gb iPad mini 2 around the same price was worse...

Or it's bought by people who have kids in education & are forced to buy them!

I figure this is more of a BMW; pretty well made, nice to use, very famous brand name. But ultimately, over-priced, limited and bought by people who know very little about technology.

IOS 9 ruins this tablet, turns it from something slick and fast to a Samsung tablet experience.

I think that may be a burn. :smile:

Or you are! Given that I have an iPad Air 1 it's hard to see how I can see a drop in performance which has just not happened!

As I have seen no other reports anywhere of anyone else seeing this aledged problem you see to be alone in seeing it.

2.5 year Rolls £100,000 ? New Vauxhall £15,000? Hardly a fair comparison.

And you're wrong. Simple as that.

I recently bought my daughter an apple watch and a week later it dropped £50 as was reported on here. I rang them and they said that they honour price matches up to 30 days - including themselves! Result. Got the £50. Now.... my outlaw had a Basil Fawlty branch wielding moment recently and his iPad was wrecked (hit with a rock kind of wrecked). :neutral_face: So he bought himself another (an expensive lesson) at £329. Just told him to get down there tomorrow and take his receipt. Hope this helps anyone else who has recently bought one from JLP. (Assuming this is available in store as well??)

This tablet is good if you are in coma.

Lets be nice to each other now, because the sun is shining, and move on from this.

Edit: ignore this as it looks like the naughty posts and children have been removed :smiley:

But that was the Mini and iteration 4. The next one is the 3rd iteration of the iPad Air. Anyway, we are all just predicting.

I've had them all. Including the iPad Pro.

JUST DON'T UPDATE TO IOS 10 WHEN IT COMES OUT.

Big warning there, as likely by the time IOS 10 comes out it will be out dated.

Definitely wait a few weeks after and Google to see if any issues etc.

This isn't Android - where updates cease after the first few months!!! IOS 9 supports all hardware back to 2011 - so expect the iPad Air to be fully supported until (at least) 2019 or so.

Split screen multitasking works just fine on the one I picked up! It does not let you do 50/50 however 75/25 is perfectly fine - have used it quite a few times already! Picture-in-Picture video also works.

Yes, I think at the moment that's all it doesn't support. But what about when the iOS comes out ? What will it not support then ?

A year ago I paid £65 for the official leather case in an Apple Store.

I'm still having the nightmares.

This looks exceptional, have you used one at all? Very tempted.

DO NOT BUY THIS - It's 2 1/2 year old technology and even some features of the current iOS do not work on this model. A new iPad Air will be announced on 21st March.

Cases wise, I picked up a pretty good 'Star Wars' one in Sainsburys two weeks ago for £4.50. It's pretty tasteful, with just a vague millennium falcon on the back and is pretty strong and protective for the money.

They had loads in various stores last week at least (was reduced from £15).

2 1/2 year old Rolls Royce is better than a brand new Vauxhall

Even one of those self-immolating hoverboards is better than a new Vauxhall

great value. thanks for posting

These were £249 on Black Friday (Dixons Travel) and Sainsbury's cleared their stocks for around £212 recently (deal was on here). So I guess 16gb to be discontinued, but 32gb to stay and Air 2 replaced with Air 3.

If you're worried about memory (not RAM) then I use the sandisk wireless stick and it works well (these were also on half price offer at Argos at Christmas).

Will be discontinued shortly, with new model being released shortly.

Not necessarily. Apple discontinued the iPad Mini 3 when the 4 came out, and continued to sell the 2.

Either way, I personally would wait until the Apple event to see what the new release brings.

My daughter has an Ipad Air, my wife an Air 2 - i have to say that i dont notice any difference when using either ,may be if you play a lot of games you would , but for using internet , watching movies etc both just work well, so i would not be bothered about it being an old model.

There are other cheaper makes out there and I used to be a new release nexus chaser but from experience Apple products might not have the highest or latest spec but they do just work and are a lot less hassle than Android devices and the quality of a lot of (not all) apps seems better.

If the "Air 3" IS called that this will probably be correct. If the new iPad is, instead, an "iPad Pro Mini" then it could come in at new price points.

I have a 3rd part (eBay) one of these (for ~£5) which works well. I did have to replace its predecessor when some IOS update stopped it working - but the current one is fine with IOS 9.

The mechanics of whether this is a deal says this is hot, right - I mean - where can you buy cheaper?! so the temperature of this deal racks right up. And rightly so I guess.
But at the end of the day, £250 for a tablet is nothing to get excited about at all. Its a tablet; you do tablety type things on it, big deal - why spend £250 for the pleasure? Obviously, if you dont have any money pressures then no worries - you can still pat yourself on the back at getting a 'good deal' :smiley:

Guess you have a custom built tablet lol

Air 2 will probably still be available when "Air 3" comes out

Good deal for an apple product but I would be more interested in something like this.
Voted hot either way. Some may find the product to their liking and the price is good.

You dug deep with that imaginative and original retort. Bravo.

Well done also for using up your time, trolling the thread of a product you clearly have no interest in. Very worthwhile.

How do you get photos off a camera on to one of these?

What do you think?

This tablet IS a Samsung more or less. Don't kid yourself you're buying an Apple product - they just put in the order for Samsung's retina screens, slap their own logo on the back and watch the suckers queue round the block.

Actually DO kid yourself you're not buying a Samsung product - it will make you feel more...'premium'. :sunglasses:

Seems Apple have high stocks and need to shift quickly prior to new iPad launch in 1 week

this v/s Samsung galaxy 'A' woorth 239.99 with S Pen functionality from JL, or £199 on Samsung/pcworld sites without S Pen?

If you want/need more storage, the options are gathering pace now but I hear good things about the Leef iBRIDGE

Thanks for posting this. My son has to have one for school in September so I'll get this & give him my old iPad Retina with broken screen!

If I sell you a piece of turd for 20p, would that still be a hot deal?

This is old tech as you say, and to pay over 200 quid for it is outrageous.

Some may want to consider this option from Amazon with double to storage (32GB) for another £50:

You got any good Samsung Galaxy deals where I can pay silly money??

Since it be the size of these iPads, I think that there may be some price reductions. I think we're going to have to wait and see!

I think that anyone thinking of buying this should wait, because Apple is announcing the new iPad on March 21st. Hopefully it means that this and and the Air 2 will be significantly reduced, especially since they are a bit old now.

Surely that would be too advanced for an iSheep? Peanuts AND Sweetcorn?

If you were smart, you'd be a smart-ass!

Or in your native toungue: baaaaa baa baaaa baa

I was going to buy one until I read this comment. You seem like a genuinely knowledgable chap who would never deliberately mislead anyone because Apple products are too expensive for you. Thanks for saving me from wasting 250 quid on this substandard toy.

You can get better tablets for about £40 although the build quality is slightly lower - not by a lot though. Apple build quality is rather substandard...

This is just a Fisher Price toy at an extortionate price.

Best tablet available at this price, HOT

Nexus 9? £260 from Amazon at the moment. Has been £199 before.

No ipad Air 3 being released now. So very decent deal. :smiley: HOT for the price and JL warranty :smiley:

Clearing stock due to iPad Air 3 imminent release.

still no deals on the Air 2 even though its been out for almost 18 months!

you have to pay atleast around £350 for something better with same quality.so I vote hot.

16 Gb just not worth it these days. Most decent apps are large in file size, throw in a few pics here and there and you've burnt through the memory! not to mention the operating system itself uses up a lot of te memory!

HUKD Burn!

What's wrong with my last deal?

Aye, steaming ones are the best.

Don't mind paying extra for those.

Depends on if the turd is still steaming!

Voted hot. may be old but it's better than any other £250 tablet for most people.

you should buy it from http://www.apple.com/uk/shop/buy-ipad/ipad-air Apple for £319.

bla bla bla old tech comments are just so lazy. voting hot.

eBay offer posted earlier today at £169 is better IMHO.

I purchased a used iPad Air 2 16gb + cellular for £250 on eBay. That was a deal. The Air 1 is worth no more than £150 IMHO, considering the Air 3 or Air Pro is due this month.

Old tech but the price can't be beaten. Voted hot!
