The Best Apple Setups
Recently Chris Wilson set a challenge to come up with the best Apple related setups you can at certain price points. The rules are pretty simple:
- You cannot use any other items
- the prices are based off Apple’s website.
Unfortunately this is much harder in the UK Apple store as the prices work out much more expensive. However with a bit of thought (more than I expected) I have come up with some really good set ups.
£500
- iPhone SE 64gb £419
- iPhone SE Leather Case
- £45 Belkin BOOST UP CHARGE Wireless Charging Pad 5W £29.95
Total £493.95
There isn’t much you can do at this price point, and until the SE launched last week, it would have been much harder.
£1000
- iPhone SE 64gb £419
- iPad £449
- Smart Cover for iPad £55
- iPhone SE Leather Case £45
- Belkin BOOST UP CHARGE Wireless Charging Pad 5W £29.95
Total £997.95
I would have liked to get a pencil in at the point but needs must and I really like this bag of goodies for only £1000.
£2,500
- iPhone 11 128gb £779
- Silicone case £45
- Belkin BOOST UP CHARGE Wireless Charging Pad 5W £29.95
- Series 3 Apple Watch 42mm Cellular £329
- AirPods Pro £249 11” iPad Pro 128gb wifi £769
- Smart Keyboard Folio £179
- Apple Pencil £119
Total £2498.95
I was looking forward to increasing the price point and this one was much easier. I tried to think about a cover for everything and what most people would be better off with.
£5,000
- iphone 11 Pro 256 £1199
- Leather Case £55
- AirPods Pro £249
- Belkin BOOST UP Wireless Charging Dock for iPhone + Apple Watch £129.95
- iPad Pro 12.9” 512GB Wifi+Celular £1269
- Apple Pencil £119
- Magic Keyboard £349
- Apple Watch Series 5 Aluminium Sport Loop 44m Cellular £529
- USB-C to USB adapter £19
- LG Ultra FIne 4k £629
- Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad £149
- Magic Trackpad 2 £149
Total £4994.95
If you would have asked me to do this a few weeks ago it might have been different. However I feel that a desk and mobile iPAd pro set up with AirPods Pro, cases, dongles and even a monitor, Keyboard and trackpad. If iOS isn’t your thing there is enough in there to swop it out for a MacBook or Mac Mini, but this I by far the most processing power you can get for home and away.
