Damn, didn’t realise sky had stock.  Have an account with them, so went over there to order but got declined on the credit check.  Can only assume the O2 loan is sitting on my credit file for this current iPad and that’s the reason.

 

oh well, will have to wait....


When I priced them up before sky seemed more expensive than O2 over the duration of the contact for me. I couldn’t order with sky thought because I already have 5 devices from them

 

Surprised they declined. Sky seemed pretty good with their credit checks to me. Passed with flying colours on my first 3 devices and then a £100 deposit requested on an iPhone 8 and a £200 one on an iPhone XS Max 

 

I had a play with the new iPads in Apple store just before. They are very nice and can’t wait to get my email saying I can collect it from O2

To be honest I was only hoping to get it quickly as doing a presentation at work on Friday and would have got a usb c to hdmi adapter and done it from the iPad.

But not the end of the world. The earlier it arrives the earlier I’d need to find the money for a keyboard and a pencil!

Soooo, got mine. Just unboxed it.

 

Scratched screen.

 

The box was sealed, the wrap was on, it came like that.

 

I'm not very happy as I would tolerate it for myself but it drops resell value dramatically.

 

Now the issue of course is having to be believed that I did not cause this. It's always user error.

 

I'm floored.
