Welcome to the iBuyReady community. This is a place for Apple buyers to help each other decide what to buy and when. Please read these rules before you post. They apply everywhere on the forum.
The basics
1. You must be 13 or older. Accounts that belong to younger children will be removed.
2. Be kind. Disagree with ideas, not people. No insults, harassment, hate speech, threats or personal attacks. Assume the other person is asking in good faith; everyone was new once.
3. Post in the right section, with a clear title. Search first, then pick the section that fits. Good: "MacBook Air M5 or wait for spring?". Not so good: "Help!!".
4. Protect your privacy. Never post phone numbers, home addresses, serial numbers, IMEI numbers, order numbers or account details. Staff will never ask for your password or a sign-in code.
Rumours, deals and facts
5. Rumours need a source. Link where you saw it, name the source and say how sure it is. Don't present a rumour as fact. Our rumour tracker shows how we rate sources.
6. Deals need a link and a price. Post the retailer's own page, the price, the date you saw it and any conditions (carrier, trade-in, membership). No referral, affiliate or coupon-farming links.
7. Say what you checked. If you quote a spec or price, link where it came from. Mistakes happen; correct them politely.
Not allowed
8. No spam or self-promotion. No selling, no repeated posts, no link drops, no AI-written filler posted as your own experience.
9. No illegal or unsafe content. No piracy, no tools for breaking the law, no activation-lock bypasses, no stolen-device sales and no adult content.
10. No buying or selling between members. This forum is for advice. Use a proper marketplace with buyer protection.
If something's wrong
11. Report, don't fight back. Use the Flag button on any post that breaks these rules and a moderator will review it.
Moderators may edit, hide or remove posts and suspend accounts that break these rules. Posts are members' own views, not iBuyReady's, and nothing here is professional, financial or legal advice. Questions about these rules? Post in Site feedback.
Thanks for helping keep this place useful.
