1 of 1 Apple iPad Pro up for Auction

If you have just been paid, feeling flush or just in the market for a new iPad you may want to head over to Phillips auction site. On the 28th April they will be auctioning off a 1 of  kind iPad Pro (lot 303) designed by Jony Ive.

The model is the 12.9″ version and although the site does not mention the storage capacity, with a estimated price of £10-15,000 we are guessing it will not be the 32GB version.

The case comes in a striking yellow and a blue smart cover and pen, which is housed in an orange pouch.

Happy Bidding!!

On Tuesday 5.19.35 was released for public testing. This update includes:

  • Quick Check-in makes checking in even easier, with just two taps to get your boarding pass. Available on British Airways operated flights when travelling alone and with a seat already assigned.
  • We’ve fixed an issue which prevented some customers from updating their list of bookings or adding a new booking.
  • iPhone 6s and 6s Plus users can now use 3D Touch to access their upcoming bookings and Executive Club account or start booking a flight, directly from the app icon.
  • Bug fixes and performance improvements.

Historically, a full public release follows a couple of weeks after the Beta release. If you would like more information and how to sign up to the beta program have a look at this Flyertalk forum thread.
