Apple iPad Pro on sale for just £129 in Wowcher deal down £170
Apple, renowned for its high-quality products and innovative features, offers a broad spectrum of devices including smartphones, laptops, and smart watches for tech enthusiasts to savour. Among the tech giant's most sought-after gadgets is the iPad. Perfect for binge-watching your favourite series on the move, these handy devices also allow users to complete their work without lugging around a hefty laptop. However, these devices do carry a substantial price tag, with even the simplest modern iPad starting at over £300. If this exceeds your budget but you're keen on acquiring an Apple device, it's recommended to consider some older models. Wowcher currently boasts a smashing deal on a refurbished 10.5-inch iPad Pro. Slashed from £299.99 down to £129, shoppers will save £170 on their purchase. However, it's worth noting that this device is the model launched in 2017, reports the Daily Record. Fitted with the A10X Fusion chip, the device is still capable of executing most of the basic tasks shoppers would expect a tablet to perform, despite the chip's age. This iPad Pro even retains the old Apple design which incorporates a home button. Moreover, with 64GB of storage, this device provides ample space to store all the essential apps, photos and videos. It should also be noted that this 2017 iPad no longer receives updates from Apple, leaving it on iOS 17. Consequently, users won't receive any new security updates, potentially making their stored data more vulnerable than on a newer model. Moreover, as this is a refurbished device, it has had previous owners and has been professionally restored to its original state. This suggests that while there might be some slight cosmetic wear, the tablet is expected to function just as it did when brand new. For those shoppers looking for a more recent Apple device, Amazon has cut the price of the iPad 11-inch slightly. Usually retailing at £329, it is currently available for £309.97. Equipped with the blazing-fast A16 chip, buyers will be treated to a Liquid Retina display and a generous 128GB capacity. On the other hand, if someone is interested in exploring an Android option, Argos is offering a deal on the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9. Typically sold for £189, customers can get a 20% discount using the code RED20 at the checkout, bringing the price down to £151.20. Despite a smaller eight-inch display, the device still boasts 128GB of storage. Returning to the Wowcher promotion, INCTABLET brings the iPad Pro offer to the table and prides itself on a commendable 4.4-star TrustPilot rating. A satisfied customer reported: "Amazing staff and customer service. I had an issue with my iPad and it was resolved in 48 hours. That included the return of the iPad and a replacement arriving back to me." Another shopper also commended: "Just bought a used Apple iPad Pro from these guys, and what a great experience. Super competitive price, next-day despatch and the iPad was in pristine condition. Even came with a brand new charging cable. Can't praise them enough." Some reviewers left less positive three star reviews, with one stating: "When my iPad arrived on December 4th (a surprise gift for my son) the quality of the screen was unacceptable to me, as it had way too many scratches which I was not expecting. "However when I complained to the company IncTablet, they responded quickly that very same day and have apologised, offering to replace the iPad for a better one." A second three-star review says: "I ordered an iPad off Wowcher from this company over two weeks ago and I've only just heard back. I'm hoping it will be delivered by end of week, quite a quick email back to try resolve the issue." Despite this, another delighted shopper wrote: "Absolutely amazing products at amazing prices. I purchased an apple iPad Air 3 from these and it was in immaculate condition, very easy to purchase and very quick delivery too. I would definitely purchase from these again."

Surprise iPad A16 deal helps you save on this 256GB variant
Did you know Amazon had a pretty awesome $149 discount on the 10th Gen iPad? Well, it did, but the tablet sold out in its Silver color. Does that mean you can no longer score a 256GB entry-level iPad at a lower price? Not at all! In fact, the newer iPad A16 is currently 13% off — which, believe it or not, is a rare bargain. $61 off (13%) How would you like to buy a base iPad for everyday entertainment at a rare discount? If that sounds tempting, now's the time to buy the iPad A16 at Amazon. Currently, the 256GB variant in Silver sells for 13% off, which isn't an offer you can see every other day. Buy at Amazon With a standard price of around $450, the 256GB iPad in Silver is now available for just under $390, which saves you $61. In case you're wondering, we've seen just one more substantial discount so far, and it didn't even happen on Amazon. Usually, the device sells for about $50 off in all storage and connectivity models, so the current bargain is worth your its A16 chip, the latest iPad model is much more powerful than its predecessor, and it easily leaves the Google Pixel Tablet in the dust. You can expect excellent daily performance and some gaming potential — at that price, what more could you ask for? As for the display, it's an 11-inch IPS LCD Liquid Retina panel with a fairly sharp resolution and great color accuracy. The most outdated part about it is the 60Hz refresh rate, but at least this isn't the only Apple tablet stuck at such unimpressive numbers (ahem, iPad Air M3). Compared to the previous model, the 2025 base iPad has a slightly larger 7,698mAh battery. We've tested its endurance in various scenarios and think it's a great pick for iOS-loving power users. As noted in our iPad A16 review, it easily lasts over 10 hours of continuous browsing and more than seven hours of gaming. So, what do you think? A $60 discount might not sound like much, we agree, but it's still a better-than-average savings opportunity. If you need a contemporary iPad that offers plenty of value, this might just be the one to buy.

Residents hit out at £50million bridge 'to nowhere' after local council ran out of MONEY while building it
Residents have blasted a council for building a £50 million 'bridge to nowhere' after it ran out of money while building it. The bridge over the planned Spalding Western Relief Road in Lincolnshire was constructed between 2022 and 2024. However it will not be finished until at least 2030 because the county council cannot afford to complete the project. The bridge was built as part of a £110 million project to provide a new route around the west side of Spalding to ease traffic on the A16, which sees lots of lorries driving between Peterborough, Boston and Grimsby. One section of the road, consisting of 0.6 miles of road, a T-junction where the road will later be extended, and the bridge, was finished last year. The aim of the bridge was to carry the road over a busy railway which runs from Peterborough to Doncaster, but for now new aerial pictures show the route comes to an abrupt stop. Lincolnshire County Council aimed to secure the rest of the funding while this section was being built and raised £28 million - but in 2023 they announced they had re-allocated this to other roads and the project wouldn't now be finished until at least 2030. Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said in 2023: 'The past three years have been a turbulent time within the highways sector, including costs increases due to Covid; growing inflation rates; and the country entering into the recession we're currently in. 'Unfortunately, because of these and other issues, we announced during our annual budget meeting in February that we've had to re-allocate the £27.8 million of county council funding dedicated to the Spalding Western Relief Road's southern section to help offset increased costs for other major road projects. 'That means it's unlikely that we start work before 2030 since that's the earliest we expect to be able to allocate funding towards this phase of the project. 'However, we'll look at bringing that date closer if external funding can be identified.' A Highways spokesperson for Lincolnshire County Council said: 'Construction of the north section of the Spalding Western Relief Road was completed in October 2024. 'In the approved 2025/26 council budget, there is currently £27.7 million earmarked towards building the southern section of the Spalding Western Relief Road in the future. 'However, the current estimated cost of building this section is between £50-60 million, which means external funding will be needed. 'That is why we are continuing to work closely with South Holland District Council to identify funding opportunities, including remaining in touch with Homes England. 'In addition, no funding has yet been allocated or secured for the middle sections of the relief road as these are intended to be built in the long-term, as outlined in the South East Lincolnshire Local Plan.' The council said the northern section of the Spalding Western Relief Road had opened up land allocated for housing in the South East Lincolnshire Local Plan (an initial 1,100 dwellings). It also said the new SWRR roundabout on Enterprise Way had already unlocked land for housing on either side of the railway and a significant start had been made on-site, with these houses soon to be added to the available housing stock.

Apple fans rush to buy iPad Pro for £129 after 57% price slash
Shoppers will save £170 on this iPad Pro model through alternative deal. Apple has a wide range of products on the market, which are normally hailed for their high quality and impressive new features. Including smartphones, laptops and smart watches, there are a wide range of Apple products for fans to enjoy. One of the tech brand's most popular devices is the iPad. Ideal for catching up with your favourite shows on the go, these nifty devices also means users can get their work done without having to drag around a heavy laptop. However, these devices do come with a hefty price tag, with even the most basic modern iPad starting at over £300. If this is out of your price range but are set on buying the Apple device, it is advised that shoppers should look at some older models. Wowcher currently has a cracking deal on a refurbished 10.5-inch iPad Pro. Dropping from £299.99 down to £129, shoppers will be saving £170 on their purchase. However, it should be noted that this device is the model created in 2017. Equipped with the A10X Fusion chip, the device is still capable of performing most of the basic tasks shoppers would require a tablet to do - even if the chip is getting on a bit in terms of age, reports the Manchester Evening News. This iPad Pro even includes the old Apple design which included using a Home button. However, with 64GB of storage, this device has more than enough space to store all the must-have apps, photos and videos - although don't expect the speed or performance to be top of the range. iPad Pro Product Description It should also be noted that this 2017 iPad no longer receives update from Apple - leaving it on the iPadOS 17. This means users will not receive any security updates, leaving your stored items slightly more at risk than they would be with a later model. Additionally, as this is a refurbished model, the device has had previous owners and has since been restored by professionals. This means if shoppers choose to buy this iPad Pro there may be signs of cosmetic wear, but the tablet should work as it did when it was first unboxed. However, if shoppers want a more up to date Apple device, Amazon has slightly reduced the price of the iPad 11-inch. Normally retailing for £329, shoppers can grab it now for £309.97. Featuring the superfast A16 chip, shoppers will also get a stunning Liquid Retina display and 128GB of data. Alternatively, for those who want to try out an Android device, Argos currently has a deal on the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9. Normally retailing for £189, shoppers can drop the price by 20 per cent using the code RED20 at checkout - now £151.20. With a slightly smaller screen of eight inches, shoppers will still get 128GB of storage. Back to the Wowcher deal, the iPad Pro is brought to shoppers via INCTABLET, which currently has a 4.4 star rating on TrustPilot. One happy customer said: "Amazing staff and customer service. I had an issue with my iPad and it was resolved in 48 hours. That included the return of the iPad and a replacement arriving back to me." Another shopper also praised:"Just bought a used Apple iPad Pro from these guys, and what a great experience. Super competitive price, next-day despatch and the iPad was in pristine condition.
