Just a heads up I bought 2 iPad Air 2s today from JL and they are doing a 3 year warranty from today. Sorry if everyone knows this already.
2 years? It's 1 year unless you have AppleCare.
That's interesting and worth knowing.Apple are accepting their SoGA obligations now as being 2 years, but only for devices sold direct. If you buy elsewhere they will refer you to your retailer after 12 months, but will assist their own customers for month 13-24.
AppleCare isn't the big deal it used be, other than AppleCare+ for accidental damage.
I bought a 128gb air 2 from JL today after noticing the 3 year warranty. Was on my to Currys with the 5% discount but when I noticed the change to 3 years I went back to JL. Must be a change today as I had been checking JL for stock for the last week.
Also have submitted a Currys 5% discount price match as well since they are guaranteeing a price match for today.
Good day all round.
iPad turned up today. Thankfully no issues so far.Let me know how you get on with the citrus match. I just tried doing the £20 code curry one and Jl won't accept codes for price match

Of course its their perogative, but to do it so close to a major event like the launch of the Air 2 basically amounts to a slap in the face for their customers who bought in the first week of release.It's simply a promotion and the timing of which is their prerogative.
It's all marketing anyway because you still need to show manufacture defect.
The John Lewis guarantee covers manufacture defects. The John Lewis guarantee does not cover accidents or misuse. That JL are accepting genuine exchange / repair or return claims at face value quickly is fine. That does not invalidate the previous statement and serves only to demonstratethe process.
I'm coming from an ipad 2 but would like to know if the ipad air 2 is worth the extra over the ipad air ?
