​Where to?

Samsung are doing something similar....holding a fire sale of all their stock.

This is a an iPad 'Mini' 2, which is actually quite a bit more powerful than your 3 (which has always been seen as a bit of a dog tbh).

Brought instead of bought **** me right off too. **** stupid.

​ipad mini 2 was only released 3 years ago. but good to hear they're going strong.

​or in fact, realise.

When did you get it ? Today?

Sorry I got the last one from crewe fella

Nine at Asda Walmart Swindon although they did (price tag is there) just OOS

how much extra and from Asda?

Whats the point in 16gig these days, like people have said once you have done a few updates, plus a few apps all the memory is gone. All devices should be at least 32 gig with a micro sd slot. The days of £100 extra for 32 or 64 gb should be long gone.

Hi,
still available this offer !,
is it available in this store or anywhere!

iPad mini 1 and 2 have different hardware, the 2 is the same as the 3 without the finger print sensor.
The 2 and 3 are not latest tech now but perfectly capable and are still gutsy little machines with a very good screen, £140 for this is a bargain, will it replace my surface pro no, but it's not intended to.

The fact it's over 1100% says it all, nothing more to add

There must be something wrong with your setup if the browser is crashing with only 2 tabs open. Have you tried restoring the ipad or trying a different browser?

ipad mini 1 and 2 have the same hardware as full size ipad, which attracted alot of customers. but at the same time apple realise alot of people are going for the mini because it is cheaper and dont mind the smaller size. so when they move onto the mini 3, it has crippled hardware compared to the full size ipad.

having said that, all these are history, as i mentioned before now the websites are so adverts heavy, anything more than 2 tabs in browser will crash and restart the app. This annoys me fair abit, to the point that now im a very light user and only need to charge mine (mini 2) once every week.

I have a normal ipad 2 (I'm anti-apple but I got it free from work years ago, so whatever) and that runs just fine, i run 4 leagues of football manager on it without a blip so I imagine he must have some serious bloat on there.

I just think your just a look at me I'm an apple fanboy, why haven't you got an iPhone 7 yet as that's quicker than your iPhone 6?

I usually never defend apple, the iPhone 6 and iPad Pro are how much? Your not comparing like with like, what 8 inch tablets of any make come anywhere this at this price point.
My surface pro tablet will sh1t all over any iPad Pro, but then again that's not the point.

They are.

Point is they are media heavy users, using original iPad minis.

Why aren't they using an app for those sites?

Well they are not watching the porn sites that you frequent, but yes, the children are continually and continuously using media sites such as amazon prime, Netflix and youtube. My chrome cast is in constant use as well. What is your next question?

Yeah, but are your wife and 2 kids using it continuously on 'media heavy' sites such us Pornhub, Xvideos, xHamster? I think not sir.

Nope

IOS 9 is still slow. Really need to go back to IOS 6 or 7 for a decent speed ipad 2

They added a Decathlon =S

The original ipad mini must be shockingly slow! Maybe you haven't used anything quick recently and don't realise how much things have moved on?

Look I'm not saying it's bad, I still use mine every day but it's clear to me that it's old hat now. It's just about OK in the present but it's only getting older so I wouldn't consider it a good buy if you're looking to use it for years ahead.

IMO you are talking nonsense. My wife and 2 of my kids have the original iPad Mini and they ALL work fine. The Mini 2 will be absolutely fine and is great value at this price.

Honestly not worth the money.

I bought one back in 2013 to replace the rather slow original mini which had the same specs as the original ipad 2. Back then it was brilliant as it was a big spec upgrade with internals that were very similar to the best full size ipad (ipad air 1) inside a smaller case and with a cheaper price.

Nowadays it runs rather sluggishly on many media heavy sites in what I would assume is down to the lack of RAM (just 1gb) coupled with a aging processor. I've been looking into replacing it as I feel it's run it's course now.

The iPhone 6 I'm posting on now is quicker to the point it isn't as frustrating. Whereas the ipad pro 9.7 also in the house is so much quicker it honestly makes the old ipad mini 2 seem like a bit of a toy.

A great product for it's time but age has finally caught up with it. Avoid.

Amen to that, 7 calls later, I'm through and got an answer! None in stock here!

Tottenham Hale (Asda Living) were out of stock. Not being an Asda shopper I checked 3 other stores which didn't even sell them :/ Gave up after that.

Good deal. I am tempted

Anyone know if anys in St. Helens or huyton

none left at asda near MCFC Etihad stadium Manchester. :disappointed: but heat added.

Any in Oxford?

Any in Oxford??

You can still roll back to ios9' just google it or look at https://youtu.be/gQPZFXvuVhM

iPad mini 2 is a much newer machine than an iPad 3. , it is a mini one and not full sized.

And you think that is the worst customer service you have come across, you must be blessed indeed!

which store in Nottingham ?

Any in London stores?

How many ?

140 in the asda store in thornaby on tees

They had the last 2 left in Nottm managed to get the space grey.

How is the ipad 2 faster than the 3? I was gonna buy one

quite possibly won't get updated but my sons mini 2 runs just fine on ios 10

Worth remembering that chances are apple's next IOS will drop support for this ipad.
Oh & the latest version make the device run really slow.
So think twice before upgrading the IOS as you will not be able to roll it back.

None in either Ipswich Asda's, so save yourself a trip! Anyone found any stock in Suffolk/North Essex?

That would be a smoking deal

I went this morning, none left.

None left in Ashton

Still available at Leeds anyone ??? :smiley:

Nice one my friend

None left in Asda Dyce

http://www.studentcomputers.co.uk/Apple_iPad_Mini_2_16GB_WIFI_Space_Grey_G_1479398.html
I found this deal

Let me know is it anymore left and also can you ask is it any ipods left for £50

iPad mini 3? Or was it the two you meant

Thanks will go and see if they have any left :smiley:

Strange I bought mines about 10 pm last night

Hi I rang them yesterday afternoon and they said they had no stock

Chester/Liverpool?

Just before I go on a wild goose chase

Anyone checked Llanelli Asda? i noticed Swansea has been checked.

None there but go to Asda Ashton U Line was lots in stock last night bought 2 from there

anyone checked Asda Eastlands (Manchester) please?

Wow, does Stevenage still exist? I thought they knocked that place down ages ago.

They didn't even give me a chance to look! Was told to wait at customer services at the front of the store to pay and collect. Anyway bank balance is helped by their lack of service.

I can confirm there are none in stock in Stevenage Asda.

Thank you

None in Asda Hyson Green, same with the Air's posted on another thread :disappointed:

just got last one in Lincoln asda living. Boston nil stock.

one very happy daughter this Xmas :smiley:

yes, you are wrong.

amazon don't price match.

Just to save your time, there are none left in Bournemouth, Castlepoint or Poole branches.

Am I wrong in thinking Amazon would price match?

Did you pay or just run out ?

Do you guys actually find the 8 inch form factor a good one? Barely seems worth it over my 5.7 inch phone screen but I wouldn't mind something for movie watching

Just got the ipad mini 3 in gold for £140 in Asda Bishop Aukland

OOS In Mansfield, Derby, West Bridgeford, Langely mill - Derby/Notts.

2years old tech...crazy not to buy!!

Canterbury in Kent got space gray and silver

Was there anything else reduced in ferring?

Too many bargain hunters round Tameside wouldn't bother anyone trying if you live in the area

These were only £190 2 years ago but this is first time prices have went so low so heat added but apple products don't half hold their price..

ah yes my bad :smiley:

Asda Sutton always has f all..even their reductions section is a pile of garbage these days

I said "ipad 2", not "ipad mini 2"

Was one in Asda, Ferring (West Sussex) but not anymore :wink: They're still out there if you look but I think for best results you need to go in person.

ipad mini 1 doesn't have the same internals as the mini 2, your getting confused with the mini 2 and 3

specs arn't great old tech

Got one in Frome, silver but think it was the last one

I bought an ipod in Asda yesterday was lovely and smooth out of the box on IOS 8 did the update to 10 and it became extremely sluggish, just marched it down CEX and made an £11 profit good riddance.

My iPad Mini 1 (same internals as ipad 2) runs as good as it did when new, its been updated regularly and is used daily to the point of needing fully recharged every night. I would try a factory reset if your iPad is running slow.

I'm in two minds in getting one, last time I had a latest iOS downloaded on my iPad mini 1 it left it crashed and useless.apple did not help me with it.

Got one :smile:

bought this back at xmas for 200. beautiful piece of kit. runs fast and smooth and never had it crash on me.

OOS in Gloucester store

im two mind about this. im using the mini 2 still (without iOS update), but now all the adverts on websites are too RAM heavy and anything more than 2 tabs in safari will almost guarantee crashing it. yes it is cheap but it's just isnt as slick as it was.

Home?

No iPads or iPod touches in Derby Spondon or Sinfin

I just rang up my superstore an they asked me if it was a game or an app lol.

Nothing at Astley Bridge, Bolton store.

Nose too near your knickers?

Asda eastlands is next to the city stadium not ashton

why is the screenshot ios6? apple stopped this firmware years back sonny!

Samsung have rebranded to "Smoke and Mirrors", phones goes up in smoke and there only use is a mirror, albeit a shard one!

Still some iPads and iPods left in Corby Asda but no Henry Hoover :-(

Saw one in my local tonight but had no reason to buy it as own the iPad Air 2, they also had the iPad Air 1 for £190

If they don't install many games then yeah

Got one from Asda Ashton under line is lots in stock

Which Asda in Gloucester.....there are two?

Thanks op, just bought 1 from Swansea.......1 left

None in watford

Thanks for this OP :smiley: Only went and got me one usually running about trying to getTesco deals and never getting any

Just got two from Asda Eastlands in Ashton. 6 more left

thats a pretty explosive comment to make.

there's plenty of people posting that they got one

I don't understand your statement...!

I smell a red herring!

None in Robroyston Asda

None in Elgin.

Silver mate

None at Bristol Cribbs Causeway or Bedminster. But both seemed pretty useless on the phone.

None in Birmingham or surrounding areas eg Tamworth, Minworth! :-(

What colour mate?

Just picked up one in Asda Gloucester many left

Thanks :smiley:

He just told you he was in ASDA next to Ikea.

Rang first

Where you in or did you ring the store?

They have stock in Cwmbran. I picked up an Air, last one, for £190.

Unfortunately none in stoke ,stafford or crew

Any in Chelmsford do you no?

​Probably the staff lol

​True, I have 16gb and it is great for what I need it to do; a few movies, apps and a few favourite music tracks and your 16gb has gone. If you lots of games and videos definitely get the 32gb.

This is a an iPad 'Mini' 2, which is actually quite a bit more powerful than your 3 (which has always been seen as a bit of a dog tbh).

Asda Wolverhampton price at £269

Apple's software "upgrades" have made my ipad 3 unusably slow. I imagine an ipad 2 is even slower.

They are prefect for kids.

Lol

Got 2 thanks a bunch

Obviously not a native of this parish. It means, "you're no fool" i.e. sensible person.

The clues in the name of the product.

Did they not say rubbery? A rubbery cup of tea?

Might have had a lithp.

Loads left Edinburgh next to IKEA
Bagged for Xmas

Yes!

Unlucky!!

Absolutely pointless. 16gb nowhere near enough. There's a reason they're cheap...

I just rang Mansfield store and they also told me they had a robbery. something fishy going on here?

​which one did they do the ipod in?

​did you manage to get one from there ?

​sorry clicked the wrong name meant the mansfield one

There is some on my local Asda but I don't know if I should get one because my son keeps breaking the screen

​where abouts

Are these the 1st generation IPad mini?

not sure...why?? As seen it just over an hour ago

Wonder why they told me they'd had a robbery did they have any more ?

​it was behind the elec goods sale counter on display less than an hour ago

​I just rang they said they had a robbery and there was none in store?

??

Yer no wassock..

Its a good price and the ipad mini 2 still works very well with iOS10 even though its nearly 4 years old now.
However, youll find 16GB very limiting unless youre only going to web browse or facebook on it. About 4GB of space is taken up by the OS already when you turn it on.

Anyone no if there is any in Benton ASDA?

iPod touch at Bodmin store tho :wink:

Forest town Mansfield Notts

Where from ??

Thank you just got one

Thanks poster, thought is was going to be a wild goose chase but no managed to get one... so thanks OP. A couple of black ones left still at asda St austell...none at Bodmin.

Good! This isn't the way to nab a bargain, you need to put in some proper effort if you want one.

There are none in Blackburn and there has not been any as rhey don't sell them in Blackburn store!

Just got four from Blackburn.

none in any of the north west stores

Is this only in Asda Living. or in the supermarkets as well?

anyone know if any stores in Leicester have any? no luck for me so far.

anyone if any stores in Leicester have any? no luck so for me

None in Huddersfield, this store is ****.

Phoned 2 stores in Glasgow; Govan and Rutherglen. Both don't have them in stock.

Just picked one from ASDA pilsworth, they have one left.
I never ever thought I would cross over to the dark side, I hate apple.

They had several White/Silver iPad minis in Asda Watford but full price when scanned (£219)

None in asda Wolstanton

Managed to grab two, with seven more in stock! Heat added!

Nice to see it be further afield. Just so people know Durham is now OUT OF STOCK. Please don't ring :stuck_out_tongue:

no stock in mine but did pick up an iPod touch for £60 which I think is a good deal :smile:

I got one at Bradford store on Rooley lane, they only have whites left. Called Foster square but they were out of stock.

Your better off getting a 32 gb for a bit extra.

I've phoned a number of stores and they we're all quite helpful even if they didn't give me the answer I wanted. Finally found one in Tamworth which they reserved for me for an hour.

I want to buy one but will need to go on a goose chase to some local ASDAs :smile:

No stock at Byker Asda store.

I literally don't understand why people get this.

To his home, of course

Samsung are doing something similar....holding a fire sale of all their stock.

My god kids that's a bargain

OP, thank you for posting. Asda have the worst customer services I have ever come across. I tried their main customer services tel no to ask them to check instore stock locally and the lady couldn.t understand what I was asking and even asked if I was near our lcoal shopping centre as the Apple store sell it and gave me their address! Her English was appaling and she couldn't spell even to check the product to start with....in the end gave up. Imagine if there were any issues trying to deal with a customer services Dept like that!

Rings for ages, then you get the option to go to the Switchboard. You do that and you tell them what you want and they put you back through. It rings for ages and then just cuts off. I called another store and the exact same thing happened! Just tried to find a way to email them. But, the only suggestion they have is 'call us'! Asda is useless when it comes to customer service! Hot from me for the find. But, as for Asda, it just made me remember why I shop at Tesco & Salisburys!!

Or indeed, release.

all sealed boxes with warranty, brought one this morning

Good find op thank you,just a pity its Asda woeful.

toxic stock?

On hold now, trying to find one locally!!

Toxic Stock!

My ASDA has literally had a hole in its roof for the last 6 months, they have had barriers around the gaming shelves where the leak is for 6 months, and no fix. makes me wonder what their stock rooms are like where customers cannot see. Toxic sounds about right.

Anyone spotted some outside of Durham? Fantastic deal if so.

Heat added OP :smiley:
