allentownahoy Posted July 18, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Does anyone know, or if on board could check, what price is charged on board for an IPAD Mini? I do not need one with a lot of memory. Not sure if they even sell those any more though. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted July 18, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Prices in the on board Apple shop are the same as on land, with no STATE sales tax or VAT tacked on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Want2Cruise 701 Posted July 18, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 18, 2018 We were onboard the Equinox last month and all they had for sale was the larger size Pro for around $900. That's all they had and were selling. It was a bummer since I had alot of OBC to use and it would've covered the Pro but just didn't need it. Currently have the mini and wanted to upgrade to the 9.7. Good luck. I hope they have it for your ship and sail date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest that you look at the base model iPad which I believe cost much the same as the old iPad mini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they phasing iPads out? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The advantage of buying them onboard is no sales tax/duty/VAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Educators2 Posted July 18, 2018 #9 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I purchased an iPad mini3 with 16megabytes of memory for $249 on the Summit in July. I know it is old but I had a lot of onboard credit. It works fine for me and syncs with all my iPads, iPhone, etc. Rather have another mini than go to the spa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZapRowsdower Posted July 18, 2018 #11 Share Posted July 18, 2018 And to use OBC if you have a lot of it! Excellent point. I almost bought AirPods onboard for that very reason, but then I decided to use my OBC to book another excursion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
govanguy Posted July 18, 2018 #12 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I`m not convinced they hold stock of lower value products. In May , sailing from Miami , I attempted to purchase the latest Ipad model. I went to Ilounge immediately it opened on boarding day to be told that they didn`t have that model yet...something to do with "delivered from China " Has to go through Miami ". I wasn`t convinced as local stores like Best Buy in Miami held stock as did shops in UK before I flew to Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if this basic one is available on Summit in early September I would be happy. My almost 92 year old mom is finally ready to go on line and 16 mgb is enough for her and we will have OBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upwarduk Posted July 19, 2018 #14 Share Posted July 19, 2018 My husband bought the iPad Pro 64gb for $649 at the end of June on Silhouette. It’s the 10.5 model. For us in UK it was a good deal, as we saved 20% VAT and the currency conversion rate on the day wasn’t too bad either.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimzgoldfinch Posted July 19, 2018 #15 Share Posted July 19, 2018 The Mini 4 is a 2017 production. May be the last one... The iPad mini 4 was introduced in 2015, is still available since 2017 as 128 gb model. Os has not been updated and there doesn’t appear to be a new version in sight. Newer iPads have much faster os and therefore is probably better value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just purchased the Mini 4 128Gig for my spouse. She loves her Mini 2. She is very concerned that the Mini will be discontinued by Apple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richsea Posted July 19, 2018 #17 Share Posted July 19, 2018 As others have said, the only savings buying on board are any taxes collected on land. Also be aware that the onboard selection and inventory is VERY limited. If you want to buy, buy early because they can go fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could have had another colour if we had waited until after we left Stockholm, when they would have been to the ‘on board stores.’ We were on our way there, so once we docked the onboard shops would be shut.

Educators2 Posted July 19, 2018 #19 Share Posted July 19, 2018 To Allentownahoy..I had to ask about the availability of the mini. They weren’t in the shop but they checked and found it. I have a mini4 at home and for my purposes, the mini 3 with 1/4 the memory is just fine. Hope you can get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
