I do enjoy watching TP have a meltdown every Apple product release. I honestly can’t believe there are people that fanatical about products they don’t use, it’s nuts, think how long he’s spent typing here, for something that doesn’t affect him in any way, all that negativity, it’s a waste of a life.

No. Going off your nut about something that you don’t own nor intend on owning is sad. Going off your nut about products you do own is fine by me, fill your boots, enjoy your toys.

Why not just leave him to it. If you ignore him he’ll either wear himself out and go away or continue and just end up looking like a complete nutter.

These arguments are completely pointless because Apple could release a copy of the galaxy at exactly the same price and it would still be overpriced crap “because Apple”.

i ignore 75% of his outbursts and definitely don’t follow the links, waste of time. Can’t resist throwing the odd custard pie if it’s my thread or he names me on another. Too easy and I think educational, it’s a great demonstration of performing the same action and expecting a different response.

Over 1k but it will be Apple’s fault.

You’re probably right because even though they produce memory they don’t include it, leaving you to use slow memory cards.

They do there are 3 sizes for the Note 8 64gb, 128gb and 256gb, but the bigger 2 are only sold in certain markets mainly Asia from what I can see.

Memory cards are well fast enough too Jack, remove your damaged blinkers.
Oh gawd, you’ve just been told that the Samsung costs about the same, and if you think an SD card is fast memory, then I have pie for you.

Wow, the Note 8 will set you back around 870 quid. I thought these things were supposed to be the deal of the century.

Same memory size as the iPhone X but it’s a dodgy dual sim phone so naturally cheaper than a dedicated UK phone

The 256GB Note 8 is hard to get and expensive but depending on where you buy it can be got for much less than a iPhone notch - here from dubai about £760

I’d rather walk to the Apple store than fly to Dubai to get a few quid off a phone with no new features.

The site I posted is amazon Uk, all your sites are of phones in $ prices so Duty etc to be added. If you were going to buy an iPhone I presume you would walk into the Apple store to buy one.

I wouldn't. I'd buy it from whoever was discounting it such as Very who are at the moment with 20% off all Apple products excluding the iphone X

Why would you buy it from an Apple store and pay 20% more? So you can get high five'd and 'whooped' at

Also known as fanboism and idiocy if you are willing to pay around £150 more than wait for next day delivery.

As for service there shouldn't be any need for any it's a simple transaction not a fanfare event. If you are suggesting Apple post sales customer service is better if you buy direct from the store then that is not the great customer service you hail them for as it's the product you are buying and it should have no bearing where you bought it from especially if it is from an authorised reseller like Very.

You would obviously go with the cheapest, I was being clever . I have just bought an iPad from Costco as it’s cheaper than Apple store and has a 2 year warranty
