k...obviously a mini (16gb wifi only) in price is a lot closer to the £200 ...in this case i did end up going to a third party and it was sorted for £70 ..i think if mine had cost £500 originally i would have considered the apple swap
glad u make sense of my post ...ive just reread it :ffsparr:
16gb on ebay brand new seem to be around the 380 mark...not sure they will move much from there...but i'm not in a hurry
