If you click a link with an * to go through to a provider, we may get paid. This usually only happens if you get a product from it. This is what funds our team of journalists, and keeps us free to use. Yet there are two crucial things you need to know about this.
- This never impacts our editorial recommendations – if it's in, it's in there because we independently rate it best.
- You'll always get as good a deal (or better) than if you went direct.

Free
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)
-
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 £5.99/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 one-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 10% on Apple products such as iMas, MacBooks and iPads.
- 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.
- 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*.
- 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 10% on Apple products such as iMas, MacBooks and iPads.

Trick to get six months' Apple TV+ for about £2 (normally £42)
Use Currys 'freebie with purchase' promo to get mega-cheap streaming
ExpiredIf you want to watch some of the big shows and movies on Apple’s streaming service Apple TV+, it’ll cost you £6.99 a month (although if you’ve not signed up before it has a free seven-day trial). Yet if you’re quick, there’s a trick to get six months of Apple TV+ for just £2 when shopping at Currys.
While there are other ways to get free Apple TV+ streaming, such as through various mobile phone contracts etc, this is the cheapest way to do it we’ve seen for making a one-off purchase, and it can save you about £40 on the normal cost.
You can only do this if you’re not a current Apple TV+ subscriber and haven't had a free trial for it via Currys before. Here's how it works...
Currys is offering six months’ free Apple TV when buying most products* as part of its Black Friday promotion. To check if an item qualifies for the offer, look for ‘Get 6 months Apple TV+ Free’ in the search listing or product page.
Buy the cheapest item that qualifies by Tuesday 29 November (we've asked Currys to confirm the exact time the deal will end). When we checked, these were the cheapest eligible items we could find:- 50-pack of Kodak photo paper* for £1.99 – collection in-store only, which is free.
- Logik car charger* for £2.97 collection, or £6.97 delivered.
- Logik earphones* for £2.99 collection, or £6.99 delivered.
Of course, you may not need any of the items above, so you could spend a little more to get an item you do need – we're just showing you the cheapest way to get Apple TV+, if that's all you want.
You’ll receive an email within 10 days telling you how to sign up for the free Apple TV+. You’ll need to do this by Thursday 29 December.
Important. After your six months’ free Apple TV+ streaming, you’ll be automatically enrolled into a paid subscription at £6.99 a month, so don’t forget to cancel if you don’t want to keep it.

Cheapest Apple Watch Black Friday deals
For example, £319 Apple Watch Series 7 (normally £369)
ExpiredApple Watches continue to be popular, but they aren't exactly MoneySaving. If you have your heart set on an Apple Watch, then you might be able to pick up a bargain model during the Black Friday event.
The range of Apple Watches currently available on the Apple website are the Series SE, and recently launched Series 8 and Series Ultra. Most older models of Apple Watches currently on sale are refurbished models.
If you regularly buy Apple products you might be interested in purchasing your Apple Watch direct from Apple as it's offering a £50 gift card if you purchase a Series SE anytime until 11.59pm on Monday 28 November.
The Series 7 was recently discontinued following the launch of the Series 8 – so if you're after a bargain on a mid-range model then the Series 7 is definitely worth checking out. When we checked, the Series 7 had been discounted by up £50 at John Lewis.
A few examples of what we spotted at 11.24am on Monday 28 November:
Apple Watch model Normal price Cheapest we spotted SE (40mm)
£259
£249 at Currys* including six-months free Apple TV+
Same price at Amazon*, and John Lewis* with a two-year warranty
SE (44mm)
£299 £289 at Currys* including six-months free Apple TV+
Same price at Amazon*, and John Lewis* with a two-year warranty
Series 7 (41mm)
£369
£319 at John Lewis* with a two-year warranty
Series 8 (41mm)
£419 £399 at Currys* including six-months free Apple TV+
Same price at Amazon*, and John Lewis* with a two-year warranty
Series 8 (45mm)
£449 £429 Currys* including six-months free Apple TV+
Same price at Amazon*, and John Lewis* with a two-year warranty
Ultra (49mm) £849 £819 at Amazon*
Same price at Very
Important: Don't allow yourself to get caught up in the Black Friday hype, and only ever buy what you need and can afford. Always do your own price comparisons to ensure you’ve found the best deal – don't just take a retailer's word for it.

Use the Money Mantras
Before spending, use Martin’s Mantras. If you answer 'NO' to any, then don't buy!
Then ask:
- Do I need it?
- Can I afford it?
- Have you checked prices elsewhere?
Then 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.
