While buying an Apple iPhone is never MoneySaving, our Cheap iPhones guide explains the cheapest ways to get your hands on the latest iPhone.

Read the full guide for the cheapest ways to buy an iPhone.

Free

Similar to Office but for MacBooks, iMacs, iPhones & iPads

In 2017, Apple made all of its iWork programs free to download for all iMac, MacBook and iPhone/iPad users. Previously, you had to have bought a device recently.

Apple iWork apps: Pages, Numbers and Keynote

See Free iWork apps for more info and download links.

What is iWork?

iWork is Apple's answer to the Microsoft Office suite of work programs, but created specifically for Mac computers and iOS devices. The package consists of three programs:

  • Pages (for documents, like Microsoft Word)

  • Numbers (for spreadsheets, like Microsoft Excel)

  • Keynote (for presentations, like Microsoft Powerpoint)

Ongoing

Via Unidays. Gets a subscription for £5.99 per month (normally £10.99)

There are plenty of free music streaming services available, if you don't mind putting up with the ads. But if you want an ad-free service you'll need to stump up for it. With Apple Music Student Membership you can get a discounted subscription at £5.99 a month (normally £10.99 for non-students) – a strong deal given there's no free version of the service.

How do I get the discount?

You need a Unidays account for Apple to verify your student status (it can't do this via NUS Extra unfortunately). Use up any new customer promos first though to maximise value – a one-month trial of Apple Music is available on an ongoing basis.

Apple says it "periodically" checks your student status, and if it finds out you're no longer a student or if you reach the maximum discount period (four years), it'll automatically move you to a full-price subscription at £10.99 a month. So make sure you cancel if you don't want this.

Ongoing

Including up to 10% student discount

There are rarely big discounts available at Apple*, but don’t assume you can’t cut your costs on a new iPhone, iPad or Mac computer until you've checked the following tips and tricks.

  • Student & teacher discount. If you're studying at university, or if you work in education at any level (lecturers, school teachers, office staff etc), you can save as much as 10% on Apple products such as iMas, MacBooks and iPads.


     

  • Check for deals elsewhere. If you're not committed to buying direct from Apple, look for discounts at other places where Apple products are sold such as AmazonArgosCurrys and John Lewis (John Lewis also offers a two-year guarantee, compared to the standard 12-month warranty).


     

  • Time it right. If you're not fussed about having the very latest model, you can save money on Apple products by grabbing an older product as a new one's announced. This tends to happen in September, when Apple normally unveils a new iPhone and prices on previous models suddenly go down.


  • Had a problem with Apple? There’s a free online tool you can use to complain – it helps draft, manage and if necessary escalate your complaint. It’s offered by a firm called Resolver, which we like so much we work with it to help people get complaints justice – you can use it to complain to Apple*.

Cheapest Apple AirPods Black Friday deals*

Includes £99 AirPods 4, £449 AirPods Max

Although there are some good Black Friday deals to be found, it might be better to wait until Apple’s Black Friday event, as you can get a gift card worth up to £60 if you purchase a qualifying model between Friday 28 November and Monday 1 December – see full details of Apple's Black Friday gift card offer.

As of Monday 24 November, we couldn't spot any discounts on AirPods Pro 3 – which currently retails for £219.

Free protection for all shopping!

There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
What the * means above
If a link has an * by it, that means it is an affiliated link and therefore it helps MoneySavingExpert stay free to use, as it is tracked to us. If you go through it, it can sometimes result in a payment or benefit to the site. It's worth noting this means the third party used may be named on any credit agreements.
You shouldn’t notice any difference and the link will never negatively impact the product. Plus the editorial line (the things we write) is NEVER impacted by these links. We aim to look at all available products. If it isn't possible to get an affiliate link for the top deal, it is still included in exactly the same way, just with a non-paying link.
