There's a guy (who works for Apple I believe) with a for sale thread.
Loads buy from him, all delivered directly from Apple I think.
Discount isn't massive, but I expect you'll end up saving a couple of ton...

His contact number is in his signature.
His user name is Sullee, I have bought a few Apple products from him.Phones and iPads no problems. Worth asking him for prices.

But be careful not to buy the iphones from Dubai. The standard features like facetime and any messenger audio or video calls will not work on the phones bought from Dubai not even in the ones from Dubai airport.

+1 to that.

I bought a 5 out there a few years back and no FaceTime. Wasn't too much of an issue for me as I just used Skype instead.

Isn't just, nevermind for 4 of them. But I'm very tight when it comes to tech as I sell the stuff so refuse to pay for anything even a phone.

Black Friday was where the deals were at

You were getting 100GB data, unlimited mins and texts and a free phone on Vodafone for £36 a month

There was a bit of a balls up with it but all seems to be sorted now.

May be worth checking around for similar

Nearly bought an UP for the wife, but went with a polo in the end. Don’t know the difference in insurance, but it’s £180pm over 4 years PCP, no deposit. That’s an SE auto. Great little car and the up didn’t feel nearly as nice to drive.

My wife was in a swift before the polo. Top of the range because they force that if you want an auto box. Low spec are pretty cheap but this was almost as much as the polo. Worlds apart in drive, feel - everything. Swift felt like you were sitting on a bench inside a tin box. Generally fine, but felt like a budget car. Polo feels like you’re in a baby Audi - very similar to my wife’s old A3 - just feels solid inside, you sit ‘in’ not ‘on’ it if that makes sense, and it feels much more planted on the road.

Not sure why anyone would buy a golf tbh ;p

I do like the Polo but crickey they hold there price, don't really want to spend too much on a first car(7.5k max) & don't want to buy some one else's trash. Looking for under 20k miles & has to be late 2016(66) as I have bought her a reg

What's that got to do with the price of fish? I just think paying three times what you need to for a phone in strange.

An M240 and 218 are priced about right for what they are. Paying £££ for an iphone is like buying a Tesla model s when a 5 series is a better car.
