What do you get when someone intended to buy you an iTunes gift card but accidentally bought you an Apple Store one instead? Not much you can get for £25 in there!

Find someone with $25 worth of iTunes cards and trade. If they won't accept try someone for a $20 iTunes.
 
I'm just thankful no one gave me an iTunes gift card for Christmas.

Hey I may have just bought my brother an iTunes gift card because it was 2 days before Christmas, I hadn't yet got him anything and there just happens to be an Apple store en route to my bus home, but I still ardently maintain it's a decent gift dammit!

I've literally never seen a friend or family member get an iTunes gift card for Christmas, or any time. They must sell… hence the strangely titled article. Assuming headlines are low grade tabloid.

I gotta say I’m with you. I’d rather buy the CD, (or SACD for you audiophiles), and upload whatever quality I need to the cloud if I choose to rather than getting the ‘always owned by Apple’ version.

You could use that on a small discount on your next Apple purchase, online or in store. Whether that's a new iPhone or a pair of Beats, or a new MacBook.

As usual, my family got me a few iTunes cards because they know I love music. I'll be buying lots of music I've been waiting on getting for months and years in my wish list. :)
Yes, but only at Apple?
 
Why? I figured if you don't know what the person actually wants, just go ahead and give them a gift card so they can get it themselves.

Humble request from a long time Macrumors reader...

Macrumors used to be all about Apple products, but the site seems to be filoed with trivial articles about little apps and great socks to out your iPhone in....

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind the fact that Macrumors reports these kind of "news" or rather advertisement, but a little bit more in depth interviews or links towards intresting articles would be nice. Because as it is now Macrumors is becoming more and more an interactive advertisement blogsite instead of acually bringing valuable "rumors" about Apple hardware.

I'm aware that due of Apple secrecy policies that it's hard to come up with something valid news or rumors about actually Apple hardware, but I rather see some more effort in providing meaningfull news instead of another extra feature within a little Mario Bros iOS game...

I have some £25 iTunes gift cards and would be happy to swap for Apple Store cards...
 
There are a bunch of other good deals on movies too. Lord of the rings trilogy for 10$, Fast & Furious collection (all 7 movies) for 35$, Tarantino collection of 8 movies for 20$.
LOTR shows $30, and not $10.
 
The fact that you recommended Mario run cancels all credibility. That game is steaming poo.
I disagree completely. My daughter and I have been playing the game since it came out and we love it.

There is a LOT to the game. It's not just getting through the levels 1 time. That's relatively easy. The controls work great. Getting through the levels with toad racing you, getting all the coins (gold, pink, purple and black) require going through each level hundreds of times. It's building your kingdom as well. Lots of fun.

It's a puzzle/action game meant to challenge. Of course, it's not a game for people who just like to watch movie clips and not do much gameplay like most of the dumb games out there like Last of Us

I got a $200 iTunes card and added the credit to my iTunes account. However when I went to buy a MacApp game I was charged from my credit card.
How do I get Apple to use up the credit before going back to charge my card? Likewise how could I use the credit for my exist music subscription or match monthly fees.
Thanks in advance for any help.
 
Cursed Child is a terrible book. Save your money.
That's because it isn't a book, but the script for a theatre play. Not that I recommend buying it - you shouldn't buy the script for a theatre play but wait until someone turns it into a book.
 
I will never understand why anyone would buy or rent a movie from iTunes when you can usually buy it for the same price or cheaper on DVD from Amazon. If you buy it from Apple then you are restricted to their ecosystem for playback. Whereas a DVD/Bluray is far more versatile, and often comes with a Digital download as well. I find the prices on iTunes to be ridiculously high when all Apple are doing is storing and shifting bits around.
 
You can buy George RR Martins, "A Song of Ice and Fire" Enhanced ebooks too, or invest in some of the classic Final Fantasy games. I bought FFIV and FFIX. Awesome games that I haven't played in years.
 
Tim: Aarrgghhh..., Angela, I am so mad at you !!
Angela: Why me ? What's wrong ?
Tim: You did miss the critical Christmas deadline for Airpod-Socks !! Now our shops seem so dull. With all the new AirPods, MacBooks and iPhones, everything looks so much the same. So 2015, 2014, 2013...
Angela: Well, with socks we would look so 2006. And the socks project just wasn't feasible. I kept trying and asking everyone, including you, when the Airpods would arrive. Nobody could tell me. Neither yourself. It was the best kept secret in Cupertino ! And we waited and we waited. And then out of the blue they suddenly pop up, and now: I missed MY deadline !!? That’s pathetic.
Tim: Nuts !! You juniors just don't have a clue what I’ve been through getting the Airbuds to market in time. I had to call everybody 5 times a day, including Donald Trump.
Angela: Well, fine, congrats. But I ended my efforts - just too ambitious for a company like ours. Makes no sense to package a product that didn't exist.
Tim: Well it DID exist, but we couldn't say so. It was top secret.
Angela: Well, except they were announced 2 months ago. And besides, the original masterplan to package Airpods in socks and then hang them in Christmas trees was abandoned earlier.
Tim: Why was that ?
Angela: Joni didn't want to cooperate. He said he was Head of Christmas design. And he designed a minimalist tree that didn’t fit anything in it.
Tim: Why that ?
Angela: Ask him. I stopped following up on this. His tree wouldn't have branches, no leaves, no needles. It was so minimalist that I had to puke. I’m from a traditonalist, German family, you know.
Tim: Then what did it look like ?
Angela: Dunno. He decided to abandon the trunk also. In fact, we now have just Christmas peaks in pots in all our AppleStores...
Tim: That's just crazy. How can we stop him ?
Angela: Well, I decided to ignore the problem. In fact, nobody would see the remaining piece of turf anyway in these dark days, because it didn't have lighting. All Stores have their power outlets abandoned now. Everything is USB-C. With great bitrates now, but lots of compatibility issues.
Tim: OK, but that's the future and we have enough dongles. The USB-C <=> Christmas LED converter is $95 now, a Christmas special. Phil: did you prepare an ad? How long will it last on its battery ?
Angela: Dunno, all remaining power indicators are skipped.
Tim: That’s bad. Next time halt Greg when he comes in for a software upgrade...
Angela: No, he designed it for auto-upgrades at night. Seems synced by iCloud now...
So, I am out for Christmas dinner now. Have a great holiday
Tim: OK, just pull the upgrade. Problem solved, happy holidays

Based on all the deep discounts on the Harry Potter book i saw in book stores, I would say that it's a dud compared to the original Harry Potter books. It isn't even a story, like the original books were, it was written as a MOVIE...

The Mario game is just a rip off, but if you have a $10 dollar itunes credit to blow go for it... It should include family sharing and also should be $5 not $10 for what you get.

Apple Music is a joke compared to Spotify, the playlists on Spotify are so much more on point with an individuals taste in music.
 
The Harry Potter movie bundle in HD (8 movies) is currently $50 in the US. Normally $80
