I believe both options will be available to you . However the onetime payment of 249 will be a better option from a resale point of view.

Disagree. For some, having apple care matters but for others it doesn't mean anything. They are buying a used iphone, they want cheap. I pay monthly directly through apple. That way i can cancel it after a year when i enviably get suckered into getting the next marginally updated iphone. I have never had a problem selling them sans applecare.

Any insight on Apple watches? I have been adamantly opposed to getting a smart watch (I an so analog it is ridiculous) but with my health issues, specifically heart concerns, the new Series 7 seems to measure blood oxygen and can perform an ECG on demand and it seems like it might be a smart thing...

I have a series 5 watch, I like it but I am not sure I would trust it for those things… I resisted the smart watch thing for a long time but am I glad I got it.

I would get one with cell service so it works with out wifi and if your not close to your phone

My series 5 alerted me when my heartrate spiked due to too much edibles giving me major anxiety lol. The tech in the series 7 is supposed to be quite impressive and although not an approved medical device, has been demonstrated to have real world cases of saving peoples lives.

Yeah it isn't like I would trust it as far as it being a replacement for proper assessment, but when you already have issues, the difference of being alerted to a bit of and irregularity early versus not knowing until it is too late may be just enough to save a guy... Hope I never need it.

I did get the Series 7 and so far I am impressed!

15% off each $100. Nice way to get a discount off subs like D+ or even hardware now since the balance can be used at Apple store.

If I was to buy a iPad for by bowflex spin bike so she can do her classes and which one is the best choice. It will also be used for internet use but that’s it.

[killramos]

iPad Air is the sweet spot for value. But the base iPad is also just fine.

[danno]

i see what you mean, i think it will be a base ipad though as it won't be used by me anyway. thanks

Consider refurbished

Has anyone managed to get an apple watch cellular on their rogers account. I bought one yesterday, I followed rogers own instructions and my infinite plan says "your account cannot add this apple watch to your plan" or something like that. I called Rogers they told me to fix it in the apple store, apple store said nope we dont do anything like that, took it to rogers store, they said we cant help you unless you return your apple watch to apple store and buy from us direct. I called rogers customer care to figure out whats missing and they cant figure it out either.

I'm with Telus but when I got my watch last month, you had to be on very specific plans in order to be able to add your watch to it.

[nzwasp]

According to rogers support its not $10 a month. Its $50 a month because you have to buy an additional cell line, either that or your number has to be used on that watch as well. Its all pretty shit. Although I just was able to add a new line to my infinite plan for $10 a month. Unsure how to get that on the apple watch though.

[spike98]

I moved from Telus to Rogers with my apple watch so its definitely a plan issue not a hardware issue. I have a winback plan (not a shared plan) for my cell and a separate apple watch plan. The watch plan is only $10 and should be able to be added on. I would keep calling support until its figured out as it should work.

I need a new Laptop and I was looking at the MacBook Pro 14". When I try to order Delivery is pushed out to 1 to 2 weeks and the Instore pick up is Mar 22nd.
Are they refreshing the MacBook Pro in Spring? I haven't been following the news on MacBook for sometime.
Edit :
Looks like they are getting refreshed with M2 Chips and. Even the 13" is rumored to get the M2 Chip.
