Should be branded 'My First apple' ala the range Sony had back in the early 90's!

Check the reviews. Lot of dodgy sellers. I would stay away.

Just got the upgrade bug for the iPhone 5S! Any deals likely this following week?

If it was genuine I would buy it. I have now decided on the iPhone 5S. I am going to sell my iPad 2 and iPhone 4S.

Stay away from them. A quick Google search brought up this:

Here's some more worrying information about Simply Electronics. They like to give the impression that they are a UK "limited" company but this is not the case. They are actually based in Hong Kong. If you visit their website and click on "Terms and Conditions" which is written in tiny writing at the bottom of each page, you will see their Hong Kong address: 1501-1508, Millennium City 5, 418 Kwun Tong Road, Kwun Tong, Kowloon, HongKong.

More worryingly, further down that page in the "Disputes" paragraph they say "Any dispute, controversy or claim relating in any way to products you purchase through the Site shall be submitted to confidential binding arbitration in Hong Kong conducted under Hong Kong law... Arbitration shall be conducted under UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules by Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre." In other words, you will have no protection under the UK Sale Of Goods Act or any other UK trading standards legislation.

The fact that Simply Electronics are based in Hong Kong also means that any electronics purchased from them will be classed as "grey imports" and a UK warranty will not be valid. They have a 12 month "return item to Hong Kong" warranty, but I wouldn't rely on this too heavily, given Simply Electronics reputation on the internet (google for the other thread called Simply Electronics: Warning on avForums).
