Currys will not discount the iPad…yet

Apple iPad Discount CodeYesterday Currys released its latest batch of Voucher codes, which on the face of it was good news for customers looking for the cheapest Apple iPad deals.

The first offer was

Offer: 5% off all orders over £199

Code: HOT05

Expires: 23:59 21/07/2010

And the second:

Offer: 6% off all orders over £499

Code: SALE65

Expires: 23:59 21/07/2010

Unfortunately for iPad fans, the small print around the codes states that both of these offers exclude iPads and e-readers.

I can’t blame Currys for this. Firstly because they’re probably held by a pricing agreement with Apple at the moment and secondly because they simply don’t have to make the iPads any cheaper as the things are flying off the shelves.

In the future it is more than likely that price competition will start to come in to play amongst iPad retailers, but for now the Apple store, Apple independents Currys and PC World are all selling iPads at exactly the same prices.

So the cheapest Apple iPad in the the UK is still the 16GB Wi-Fi model, which is priced at £429 from all retailers
