I was going to get one but they look a bit on the cheap side. Maybe it's the gaudy colours but they weren't floating my boat.

Love people's reactions to how bad this is! Go ahead and pay full price if you'd like, I'll take any discount they offer.

That doesn't make it a good sale! No iPad Mini=Bad sale.

The funny thing is everyone knew in advance that it would be in the 10% range, just like every other year, yet still wait up to express disappointment.

Do people really expect a bargain bucket of €50 ipads!

IPads are reduced just not the mini. All the Black Friday sales are disappointing this year.

For some people you just can't criticise Apple at all. That's really obvious in this thread. The sale sucks.

Not even a cent off the iPod Classic, considering they actually increased in price by about 30 quid when they announced all the new stuff a few months back that's actually ridiculous.

also not to mention that black friday is an american thing and we're lucky to even have it at all considering thanksgiving is an american holiday.

Who mentioned anything about an Irish holiday?

You're being very silly.

and being disappointed at the discounts isn't silly?

apple could up their prices of their consumer range by 10% tomorrow and people will still pay it.

Isn't it Apple's right to set their own prices and offer whatever discounts they feel like?

I don't why people are expecting or complaining.

Ipad mini is a new product and no surprise there is no discount.

I worked once in retail and I remember people wanting extra discount on products marked down by 50%, you just can't please people.

It's probably because the majority of other American retailers put up proper discounts like 25 or 50% and the whole retail industry in the US makes a big deal about the huge discounts on the day.
Apple always make a big song and dance about their black friday sale, and then put up pathetic discounts which you expect in any ordinary sale, making themselves look ridiculous in comparison to everyone else.

Though you only get excited about it once and then you stop bothering to even look at the Apple shop once you realise that Apple don't really do discounts.

Of course they could and nobody suggested any different. My point is that they advertised this as a one day sale and I thought they might put the iPad mini up at a small discount; They didn't and, overall, their sale is rubbish, for me.

It's disappointing that the iPad Mini isn't a part of this sale but its not surprising. Apple don't really do discounts but that doesn't mean I can't say that this sale is rubbish and to suggest that is, indeed, silly.

Yeah, it clearly is their right to set whatever price they like.

Some better discounts tbh

Some people really can't help themselves^.

I'm going to order a case for my ipad and want to have it engraved.

I read the comments on the apple site regarding the case and someone said his first case did not fit properly and have to change it a few times to get the right fit.

If I order online can I bring it to compub for an exchange, I know I won't get an engraved one as a replacement?

_Whimsical_

Have to hand it to them they are fast!
Ordered last night at midnight and got a notification that it's been despatched and will arrive monday!

Mine is coming by Tuesday, I thought it would be longer especially as getting it engraved.

My mam was buying an iPad for my dad for christmas, might aswell order it today as €468 is cheaper than €509 so she is happy tbh.

So your doing me out of 10% you told me it was a 17% discount

Employees get one system discounted at 27% every 12 months, and I think its 3 units for friends and family @ 17%. I'm typing this on my MBA which a mate got for me at 27%.....:D

Was thinking of getting an iPad next month in New York but might just order one this evening, less hassle...

Graham_B18C

Bought a 32 Gig iPad for myself for Xmas

I had been humming and hawing about buying it for ages but the 50 quid off pushed me to take the plunge! It's going to kill me not being able to use it for weeks!!

And stop moaning about the sale just because the things on sale don't suit you
