Of course, what I didn't think about was the accessories...

If anyone asks you what she can be doing with for birthday or Christmas, that's you covered then....not necessarily buying an accessory outright as might be too expensive, but putting cash towards buying might be a good idea?

Look at refurbished on the Apple UK site, keep looking as they change every day.

The minimum post length on here is 10 characters.

If you type fewer than 10, the system won't accept it and puts up a message.

Try it.

'iPad Pro' is only 8 characters.

When is your wife's birthday?

I only ask because "Black Friday" is November 25th this year and if you can bide your time you might save some money now Apple have increased their prices.

As of November 1st there's only the iPad Pro 12.9" under the Refurbished section of Apple's site; as pointed out above they do change often.

One retailer you could investigate is John Lewis for their three year guarantee.

Our Ipad 2 4 years old became slow and has intermitent browser crashes on both Chrome & Safari, all this happened once I upgraded the IOS past 6, a bad move. I have spent months trying out all the suggested fixes and none work, I have even replaced the battery still no joy as far as I'm concerned it's Apples way of getting their customers to buy a new Pad. Not us though we went for a new Samsung Galaxy

It's sooner than that, I'm afraid! I believe the recent Apple price rises were just for laptops and desktops, but I'd expect iPads to increase too.

Yes, John Lewis is always worth checking, but our local Stormfront also does three year guaranties.

Sorry but the obvious comment has to be made - are you not risking undervaluing Herself & how the dickens do you show this exchange to the insurance company?

(Offhand, check when the next ipad is due, sit tight & browse all the early adopters' selloffs. Giver Herself a bunch of flowers & a promisory note in the interim.)

Buy me an old android tablet and you can have my wife, heck an etch-a-sketch will do:eek:

iPad Pro, the reason being that the Air 2 is somewhat dated, nowadays.

All android tablets are utter crap, in my opinion, having had the Nexus 7s and the 9. Sony and Samsung aren't any better.

I've heard of Stormfront.

Alas Apple jacked their iPad prices back in September when iPhone 7 was announced!

For example the WiFi only iPad Pro went from £499 to £579.
