Deals: all four iPhone 15 models are £100 off, the iPhone 14 Plus is £200 off
It’s almost that time of the year – Apple should unveil the next generation of iPhones a month from now. However, older models are already discounted in anticipation of that, let’s have a look.
All iPhone 15 models are £100 off right now. The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are the only ones (so far) to support Apple Intelligence, which is currently in beta. They have 120Hz displays and telephoto lenses (77mm on the Pro, 120mm on the Pro Max) too, which are things that the vanilla iPhone 16 and 16 Plus will not have.
The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus do feature 48MP main cameras, which do in-sensor zoom. It doesn’t have the reach of optical zoom, but it is much better than what previous vanilla models offered. Also, these have Dynamic Island style displays rather than the old fashioned notch of the 14-series. That and a USB-C connector. However, they don't have the chipset and RAM necessary for Apple Intelligence to run.
Of course, if you’re getting an old iPhone, you could go older. The iPhone 14 and 14 Plus are still around with their notched displays, 12MP main cameras and Lightning ports. Right now, the 14 Plus (128GB) is £200 off, making it the same price as the iPhone 14.
Keep in mind that these discounts are relative to the already reduced prices of the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus. These two originally cost £850 and £950 when they first launched in 2022.
Moving on, some Android tablets from Samsung are up next. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE and Tab S9 FE+ use IPS LCDs, 10.9” and 12.4”, respectively, that run at 90Hz. Both tablets are powered by the Exynos 1380 and feature dust and water resistance (IP68). Both support DeX, but without wired or wireless video out.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ is the cheap option. It has an 11” LCD (also 90Hz) and runs on the older Snapdragon 695 chipset. It has quad speakers and expandable memory, so it’s a solid entertainment machine. Note that the version with 128GB storage has double the RAM (8GB).
Finally, Samsung’s affordable Galaxy Watch FE brings an aluminum frame at a time when the Apple Watch SE is rumored to be switching to plastic. This model is available only in 40mm size (1.2” display) and uses the previous Exynos W920 (5nm) chipset. Note that Amazon Prime Student subscribers get an extra £15 off the price.
