Need to buy 'something' from Apple Store for £80

redfox05

Hi there,

tl;dr. I need to find something on the apple store, apple branded, for £80. I need your advice, as I am struggling.


Apple have given me an £80 goodwill credit to buy something from their Apple Store. They suggested the urBeats Headphones (http://www.apple.com/uk/shop/product/MK9W2ZM/A/urbeats-in-ear-headphones-space-grey?fnode=8c) but looking at the reviews, they are poorly built and wont last long, even if they have great sound. They said however that I could pick another product or several products up to the value of £80, or slightly over would be fine , such as £86. Can't be used as part voucher and the rest I pay, that wont work they said, so the full amount has to come from credit.

I had a look, but its a hard to browse, cant sort or filter.
Anyone have any suggestions?

I took a look at the Plantronic Voyager Headset (http://www.apple.com/uk/shop/product/HA315PA/A/plantronics-voyager-legend-bluetooth-headset?fnode=8d) but on Amazon its selling for £45 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Plantronics-Voyager-Legend-Bluetooth-Headset/dp/B009ES6FTO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1454583145&sr=8-1&keywords=Plantronics+Voyager+Legend+Bluetooth+Headset) so thats crazy! Altho the Apple site mentions a 2 in 1 car and USB charging kit, which may be extra? Plantronics support confirms the product itself is the same on both, and not an upgrade/newer model etc.

BUT, even after the crazy price increase, this may not work, as I seemed to remember they said it had to be Apple owned products (Beats is owned by Apple), so.... this could be hard. I need to give an answer by Friday...


Anyone fancy helping me out and suggesting some accessories to buy from the Apple store for around £80?

Given Apple prices you may be able to afford a couple of sheets of Apple branded toilet paper, good luck.

How about a 2TB backup drive for £84.95? You do backup, don't you?!

Is that the Applecare where Apple misleads consumers by claiming a standard warranty of one year, and then selling an optional AppleCare extension, when EU law means that manufacturers are legally obliged to offer a minimum warranty of two years as standard????

That isn't what EU law says at all.

An EU Directive 1999/44/ec instructed all EU states to ensure that consumers were able to seek a remedy from sellers for at least two years.

The UK's Sale of Goods Act together with The Limitations Act ensures that UK consumers can seek such a remedy for up to six years.
