Re: UK discounts?
Either Apple or the Contract selling stores are already discounting iTat; go look at the "bargain" contracts available on iTat right now; 24 month contracts that were £50+ are either £40 ish, or have had their monthly data allowance MASSIVELY increased (25GB to 75GB or more for a recent example).
Only the "official" price of the stuff hasnt budged, unlike the US where deep discounts are already being used to try and push the unwanted stock.
Only one iPhone and one Air left in my extended family now; and as of this week, over half of them have bought Xiaomi or Huawei.
