@Boehm Collector : The prices for QVC are always higher but the selling option is the easy pay but the product is always an older version.

Apple offers an easy pay option on their website.  

 

They also offer refurbished models at a lower price with the same guarantee as a new one.

QVC charges more, but they usually include accessories like earbuds, a stylist, keyboard and a cover/case.  

 

If you buy the accessories from Apple seperately  ( their name brand ) it will probably be more expensive than what you can get from QVC in their pack up.

 

I don't want or need so many accessories, so I buy directly from Apple.

I care most about 2 aspects of any company's offer, but I know I am unlikely to pay much extra for the newest and the biggest.  I do need some of the extras, so I check those, but I also try to chose buying tech that will be supported for at least a few years.  I buy all kinds of purchases to fit my age and my  current issues.

 Being old is significant but not totally determinant of all my choices, just some.

I wonder if they will take this post down so I will comment quickly.  I had a collection and it was literally stollen from me.  I would like to get a new one but it has been awhile and need advice which version to buy. Simple grandma who just wants something to carry around.  I have an IPHONE 15,

@Carmie      usually QVC includes extras that are useless to justify their ridiculously high prices.

@bonnielu .. not sure what you mean.   You had a collection of what?   Can't help out if I don't understand the question.

Carmiee no comparison to the extras QVC sells to actual Apple branded extras. The extras QVC sells are not Apple brands. You can buy the iPad from Apple or Best Buy and the accessories QVC includes in their package (for an inflated price) on Amazon and come out cheaper.

To clarify I had 3 of these overtime and had them stored away.  Someone came in to adjust my computer, my PC.  Must have noticed them and the next thing.... they were missing.

Amazon has iPads for less than Best Buy or Apple.com.

Amazon and Best Buy are authorized Apple retailers.

 

Best Buy online may have some certified refurbished open box excellent condition iPads.
