Apple has introduced new products to its MacBook and iPad series shortly after the iPhone 17 release. The tech giant unveiled the MacBook Pro M5 and iPad Pro M5 on Wednesday. These devices are equipped with Apple’s latest M5 chip, enhancing speed, power, and AI performance. Both gadgets are now available for purchase on Apple’s website and Amazon.
The MacBook Pro M5 512GB starts at £1,599, while the 11” iPad Pro 256GB and 13” iPad Pro 256GB are priced at £999 and £1,299 respectively. Apple’s Pro line offers premium and high-performance products, prompting many consumers to explore monthly payment options from Sky Mobile and O2. Prices start at 90p per day.
Sky’s pricing for the 11” iPad Pro M5 begins at £27 per month, equivalent to 90p daily, with an upfront cost of £34 for the 13” iPad Pro M5. However, these plans include only a 100MB data allowance. Additionally, Sky offers a £35 monthly plan for the MacBook Pro M5, with a £7 upfront fee. These plans are suitable for users primarily connected to WiFi but may require a Sky eSIM for mobility.
Sky’s data plans range from 1GB for £5 to unlimited for £27, with the 50GB option priced at £10. Customers can upgrade to a new device at no extra charge after 36 months. It’s worth noting that most providers increase prices annually due to inflation.
EE offers competitive iPad Pro plans, such as the 11” iPad Pro M5 at £89.92 on a 12-month plan with a £120 upfront cost. Customers can spread payments over three to 48 months, with the 13” iPad Pro M5 priced at £112.42 plus £120 upfront on a 12-month plan. EE’s 24-month contracts, starting at £67.50, include mobile data packages like the 5GB Essentials and Unlimited All Rounder with added benefits like Apple Music or Netflix.
O2 features pre-built plans for both iPad Pro M5 models, ranging from £39.20 to £51.20 per month for the 11” iPad Pro M5 and £45.60 to £57.60 per month for the 13” iPad Pro M5. Each plan includes a choice of O2 Extras like Disney+ or Amazon Prime for up to six months. Customers can modify their airtime plans after 24 months for cost savings if mobile data is not required.
In conclusion, Apple’s latest MacBook and iPad models offer a range of pricing options and payment plans to suit different consumer preferences and budget considerations.
