    I'm in the market for a new iPad and was wondering if I should hold off until Black Friday to save a few quid. I know Apple used to give a few quid off a few years back but didn't they change it to just giving vouchers to the Apple Store recently or is my memory wrong?

    I remember last year they did indeed to the vouchers instead of the money of the product.

    They did the vouchers in places but we got money off. I think it was €40 off my iPad Air.

    I bough the iPad 4 from apple.ie last year. They reduced it by €50 iirc
    Most places are in it around the same.

    Sold it when the Air came out as I got an Air on Groupon for the same price as I sold my 4 for :)

    Yes. They can't keep up with demand for the phones so no discount as far as I can remember.

    Looks like there's no Black Friday this year on apple.ie. Is this punishment for ending the Double Irish? :)

    Are they likely to offer any deals on Cyber Monday? Or has Bono swallowed the profits again.

    Picked up iPad Air 16gb silver for my daughter in argos today for €379, last night was €409.
    Also got €20 in vouchers which bought most of the €25 iTunes card needed to get the popular apps (minecraft for one).
    Think it's one of the best deals out there!
    Loving Black Friday........

    For an extra €70 you could have bought the iPad Air 2 with 64gb of memory on Amazon.
