    Is there such a thread already?
    I’m in the market for a new sim free XR or maybe XS for myself, and I’m keeping an eye out for a new sim free iPhone 7 for a family member. Has anyone come across any bargains they would like to share?
    I missed out on an XR from amazon Italy yesterday for €580.
    Has anyone bought from the various sellers on adverts and had any problems with warranty?

    There is a big bargain alert forum already:https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=346
    Apple and bargains don't go in the same sentence, so there isn't much requirement for a dedicated thread.

    Apple bargains are indeed very rare, but they don’t really get posted in the main bargain alerts forum as it turns into an Apple v Android argument!

    It would be good to have this thread for any bargains on Apple products or accessories (cables, cases etc.)

    I’m looking to change from an iPhone 8 at the moment. Torn between the XR and 11. I will probably upgrade again next Christmas if 5G phones are released. If I could pick up an XR a bit cheaper (like the OP had spotted) than it currently is, I’d be tempted to just go for the XR so it’ll be interesting to see if anybody else spots it a bit cheaper

    Sounds like it was a great bargain. Any chance of it coming up again over next few days or how did you come across it in first place (so we can all jump on board of course!!).

    vidafone have a sale on for the next day or 2 with 100 euro off an iphone XR and a few other models. Can get a 64gb iphone XR for free as an upgrade, sadly only in black. No idea why vodafone refuse to stock larger capacity phones in white or gold

    I see in another thread there’s €50 off Vodafone pay as you go iPhones if you switch no.s but I’m not sure how true the story is that they are unlocked from Vodafone. I would doubt that they are.

    Apple shopping event on Friday.
    No idea of what offers will be on. Most likely gift vouchers.

    I think I have a replacement sorted for my own phone. I’m still on the look out for 2x new iPhone 7s, a 32gb and a 128gb version if anyone has seen any?
    I did think that BlackFriday would be the time shops would be selling on some old stock and I’d pick them up for a reasonable price.
