Apple Store free creative workshops for adults
Learn to use Apple tech for coding, music, photography etc
FreeIf you're interested in learning a new creative skill, or would just some tips on how to get more from your iPad or Mac computer, Today at Apple programmes* are free educational workshops, mostly aimed at adults, running at all 30+ Apple Stores across the UK (find your nearest*).
Times and dates vary by location, so go to the Today at Apple website to find out what's on and when at your local branch. You can sign up to the workshops online using your Apple ID (the email and password you use to sign into Apple devices), then simply turn up on the day.
While most are for grown-ups, children can get involved at special Kids' Hour sessions held on weekends. As the sessions are aimed at owners of Apple technology, you may be asked to bring along your iPad or whatever gadget is needed for the activities.
Here's a quick guide to the different Apple Today programmes:
- Studio Hours - Topics include art/design, documents and presentations.
- Photo Walks - Guided walks on topics such as framing architecture or capturing action.
- Sketch Walks - Guided walks on observational drawing and brush techniques.
- Kids' Hour - Weekend sessions for families involving hands-on projects for kids.

In 2017, Apple made all of its iWork programs free to download for all iMac, MacBook and iPhone/iPad users. Previously, you had to have bought a device recently.
See Free iWork apps for more info and download links.
What is iWork?
iWork is Apple's answer to the Microsoft Office suite of work programs, but created specifically for Mac computers and iOS devices. The package consists of three programs:
- Pages (for documents, like Microsoft Word)
- Numbers (for spreadsheets, like Microsoft Excel)
- Keynote (for presentations, like Microsoft Powerpoint)

iPads guide
While iPads aren't MoneySaving, if you're going to buy one anyway, you should spend some time looking around for the cheapest deal. See our Cheap iPads guide for iPad buyers' tips, whether it's 'new vs refurbished' or buying direct from Apple compared with cheaper UK retailers.

If you've never used the iTunes streaming service Apple Music*, you can try it free for the first three months (normally £9.99 per month). Simply log in with your Apple ID and sign up* for the free trial in iTunes or via the Apple Music app on your Apple device.
Warning: After the trial, you'll automatically be charged £9.99 per month every month until you cancel. So if you don't want to pay, remember to cancel before the three months are up.
-
There are plenty of free music streaming services available, if you don't mind putting up with the ads. But if you want an ad-free service you'll need to stump up for it. With Apple Music Student Membership you can get a subscription for half the standard price, at £4.99/month (normally £9.99) – a strong deal given there's no free version of the service.
How do I get the discount?
You need a Unidays account for Apple to verify your student status (it can't do this via NUS Extra unfortunately). Use up any new customer promos first though to maximise value – a three-month trial of Apple Music is available on an ongoing basis.
Apple says it "periodically" checks your student status, and if it finds out you're no longer a student or if you reach the maximum discount period (four years), it'll automatically move you to a full-price subscription at £9.99/mth. So make sure you cancel if you don't want this.

There are rarely big discounts available at Apple*, but don’t assume you can’t cut your costs on a new iPhone, iPad or Mac computer until you've checked the following tips and tricks.
- Student & teacher discount. If you're studying at university, or if you work in education at any level (lecturers, school teachers, office staff etc), you can save as much as 15% on Apple products such as iMas, MacBooks and iPads. See our Deals Hunters blog about the Apple Education Discount.
- Check for deals elsewhere. If you're not committed to buying direct from Apple, look for discounts at other places where Apple products are sold such as Amazon, Argos, Currys and John Lewis (John Lewis also offers a two-year guarantee, compared to the standard 12-month warranty).
- Time it right. If you're not fussed about having the very latest model, you can save money on Apple products by grabbing an older product as a new one's announced. This tends to happen in September, when Apple normally unveils a new iPhone and prices on previous models suddenly go down.
- Buying an iPad? See our Cheap iPads guide for tips on getting the best deal, including how to save money with refurbished iPads and cheap 4G data plans.
- Had a problem with Apple? There’s a free online tool you can use to complain – it helps draft, manage and if necessary escalate your complaint. It’s offered by a firm called Resolver, which we like so much we work with it to help people get complaints justice – you can use it to complain to Apple*.
If you spot any hot deals out there we have missed (we are human after all!), please let us know in the MSE forum, email us at msedeals@moneysavingexpert.com or via MSE Facebook and Twitter @MSE_Deals.
- Student & teacher discount. If you're studying at university, or if you work in education at any level (lecturers, school teachers, office staff etc), you can save as much as 15% on Apple products such as iMas, MacBooks and iPads. See our Deals Hunters blog about the Apple Education Discount.

Cheapest iPhone Black Friday deals
Top contract deals, including iPhone XS, XS Max, XR, X and iPhone 8
Follow MSE Deals on Facebook and Twitter for Black Friday updates, and see our Black Friday 2018 Guide for all our predictions, info and analysis.
We’ve seen mobile resellers heavily discount the price of Vodafone handset contracts as part of their Black Friday promotions, with some of the cheapest total costs we've ever seen.
There’s even deals to be had on Apple’s latest 2018 range of handsets – the iPhone XS, XS and XR. We always say buying a new iPhone is never MoneySaving, but if you’re determined to get one, at least get it for the best price.
Top Apple iPhone handset contracts we spotted at 9.27am on Fri 23 Nov:
Right now, the cheapest 24-month contract deals we could find are on Vodafone and all come with unlimited minutes, texts and a mammoth 80GB of data. We would normally only suggest paying for the allowance you need, however, in this case it's actually more expensive to opt for a lower allowance, so this is a rare exception.
iPhone XS via BuyMobiles.net* - £119.99 upfront then £37/mth - a total of £1,007.99 over the two years
iPhone XS Max via BuyMobiles.net* - £214.99 upfront then £37/mth - a total of £1,102.99 over the two years
iPhone XR via Affordable Mobiles* - Nothing upfront then £37/mth + £75 automatic cashback (1) - a total of £813 over the two years
iPhone X via Fonehouse* - £12.99 upfront then £37/mth - a total of £900.99 over the two years
iPhone 8 via Affordable Mobiles* - Nothing upfront then £37/mth + £200 automatic cashback (1) – a total of £688 over the two years
With all the above, monthly prices could increase each year with inflation. See our Cheap iPhone guide for more information.
(1) The cashback is paid automatically into your bank account within 4 months of your contract starting.
Important: Don’t allow yourself to be taken in by the hype around Black Friday and be sucked into buying something you don’t need or can’t afford. And always do your own price comparisons to ensure you are getting the best deal possible – don’t just take a retailer’s word for it. Before buying, we'd recommend checking mobile contract prices using comparison sites such as MobilePhoneChecker* or HandsetExpert.

Cheapest Apple Watch Black Friday deals
Including Apple Watch Series 3 for £219 (norm £279)
Follow MSE Deals on Facebook and Twitter for Black Friday updates, and see our Black Friday 2018 Guide for all our predictions, info and analysis.
Apple Watches aren't exactly MoneySaving, but if you've had your eye on one, now could be the cheapest time to get one. We've done some price comparisons and have rounded up where's the cheapest place to buy on Black Friday.
We've focused on the Series 3 and Series 4 watches (in both sizes) and just the GPS version, not the cellular ones. There doesn't seem to be any discounts on the Series 4 watches as they've only recently been released, so we've included which extra incentives are offered.
Of course, prices could change during the day, but here's where we found them cheapest at 9.24am on Fri 23 Nov:
- Apple Watch Series 3 (38mm) norm around £279 - £219 including a two-year warranty at John Lewis*. Same price with a one-year warranty at Currys* with £30 off code (online only). Next cheapest we found, £249 at Argos and Very.
- Apple Watch Series 3 (42mm) norm around £309 - £249 including a two-year warranty at John Lewis*. Same price with a one-year warranty at Currys* with a £30 off code (online only). Next cheapest we found, £279 at Argos and Very.
- Apple Watch Series 4 (40mm) norm around £399 - £399 including a two-year warranty and 3 months free Apple Music at John Lewis*. Same price at Argos* with two-year breakdown care and at Currys* with a one-year warranty.
- Apple Watch Series 4 (44mm) norm around £429 - £429 including a two-year warranty and 3 months free Apple Music at John Lewis*. Same price at Argos* with two-year breakdown care and at Currys* with a one-year warranty.
Important: Don’t allow yourself to be taken in by the hype around Black Friday and be sucked into buying something you don’t need or can’t afford. Always do your own price comparisons to ensure you are getting the best deal possible – don’t just take a retailer’s word for it.

Martin's Money Mantras
Before spending
If you answer 'NO' to any of the following questions, don't buy.
Skint? Ask:
- Do I need it?
- Can I afford it?
Not skint? Ask:
- Will I use it?
- Is it worth it?
Free protection for all shopping!
There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
What the * means above
If a link has an * by it, that means it is an affiliated link and therefore it helps MoneySavingExpert stay free to use, as it is tracked to us. If you go through it, it can sometimes result in a payment or benefit to the site. It's worth noting this means the third party used may be named on any credit agreements.
You shouldn’t notice any difference and the link will never negatively impact the product. Plus the editorial line (the things we write) is NEVER impacted by these links. We aim to look at all available products. If it isn't possible to get an affiliate link for the top deal, it is still included in exactly the same way, just with a non-paying link.

Martin Lewis: Is it unfair to charge loyal customers more?
Should loyal customers be charged more than new ones? On the surface the answer is a simple no – but nothing is that simple. Many consumer marketplaces function because only some people embrace competition, and we need to work out what happens if we change that
