Bank accounts around the world will be groaning by the end of the month with Christmas coming right off the back of a costly Black Friday. Apple devices contribute hugely to this, and I guarantee that there will be somebody you know who’s put an iDevice on their Christmas wishlist. But more than likely it’s you. But what to get? If you’re a technophobe, it can be complicated, but worry not.
I’ve put together a questionnaire that should help you find the right device for you or your family, even if you have no knowledge of tech whatsoever. Obviously start at question one and then follow the instructions.
For Macs, I haven’t gone to the nearest spec due to there being too many variables. You can customize that when ordering.
