Want it cheaper? Try Apple’s refurbished store
Apple sells certified refurbished Macs, iPads, iPhones and Watches with a full warranty and a new battery and outer shell, usually well below the new price. Stock comes and goes by the minute, so iHelp built applerefurb.com, which checks the UK store constantly and can alert you the moment something you want comes back in.
