If you know someone with a LTD company, they can "wink wink" buy them for you without paying the VAT (£2K, if flat rate) or Corp Tax, roughly works out at 31% reduction. They would of course swallow the all payments upfront but will get the tax back/reduction later.

Last year, I brought my MBP Touchbar from Apple Business, they priced match Currys XMAS 10% Quidco. They don't mention it but the business team will match....if you ask nicely or if you get on well with the team.

I bought an XR for my daughter from JL on Black Friday and it was discounted to £719 - back to £749 I think now.

Not many discounts around.

Seriously you are considering spending £3k on mobiles phones? You must be crazy, or must have a lot of disposable income in which case you probably wouldn't be posting on here asking for discount.

That is of course tax evasion if not for use in the business and the cash collected from the person they are for and not declared.... probably not the sort of suggestion to make on a public forum....

Given the price of the XR you're probably better off getting them on contract as you can save money on the flagships assuming you change contract at the end of the agreed term. Alternatively if you can't afford to buy them then get a cheaper phone

If I couldn't afford them I wouldn't have posted on the forum, I just wanted to see if there was some kind of discount code/xmas offer flying around.

Why would anyone pay £700+ for a phone. It's madness.

I was about to buy an XR on contract from O2 to spread the cost over 24/36 months but the phone price was about £850 so it was far cheaper to buy it outright from JL and for daughter to pay me back

Great price, but you need to trade in iPhone 7 Plus to get that price. Your prob not a million miles away from paying full whack. Apple direct trade-in prices are pretty crap.

Appliances Direct - £699 + potential 2% Topcashback

They have physical shops as well as online, but probably worth ensuring the phones are UK stock.

Hey bud. Go onto the M3 Cutters Forum. Once there, find the for sale section & have a look through the ads.
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.

Quick flight to jersey where they are 15% cheaper than uk. You can also reclaim back the 5% VAT at the airport.

When I go to jersey from Gatwick on the way back you don’t even go through customs channels with the red and green channels!

Everyone who has an iPhone does. Whether it’s upfront on via a contract
