Thanks. Got my wife a 128GB IPP a few weeks ago. Took the receipt back to Best Buy and they credited me the difference.
 
paid $729 for 128GB 9.7 iPad Pro LTE, that's a much more reasonable price than the $879 Apple is asking for

let the sales keep tanking and Apple will wise up
 
We're getting reamed in Europe! iPad Pro 9.7" 128GB wifi that costs $650 (=573€) at BestBuy costs 869€ (=$983) in Europe!​

Thanks, it didn't seem to be there before? I did post a complaint about it though.

Hmmm... Not sure about that, but it is true that you have to search for it specifically. It's not part of the list of promoted accessories.
 
First time buyers - if you're looking for the complete set of accessories to go with it, don't forget that AT&T is having 20% off Apple accessories.

You'll have to pick 3 items to make the discount work, I'd recommend the Smart Keyboard, Pencil and the USB-C to Lightning Cable. Unfortunately I don't think the USB-C 29W Adapter is sold by AT&T....

FYI, I tried with the Apple Smart Keyboard for Pro 9.7 and the discount doesn't show up. Interestingly, if you search for this keyboard, it will NOT show up in AT&T website. However, if you click the link from 9to5toys.com, it shows up.

I've been trying to add the keyboard plus 2 other accessories for the past hour with different browsers and no 20% discount. :(

What if you add 3 of those keyboards? The discount should show up in that case (it did for me).

What other accessories are you adding?

I added 2 X BodyGuardz ScreenGuardz HD Screen Protector Two-Pack- ASUS ZenFone 2E.

Did you buy the 12.9 or 9.7 keyboard?

It seems not all $5 cases work. Definitely confusing. If you're willing, adding an Apple Pencil will reduce the "loss" of getting the junk items.

That's interesting. I'll try again.

PS: Already have a the Pencil. :(

Dudeee... it worked! You are right that only certain cases / protector works. Props to you, man!
 
Welp, got an email from AT&T that my 3 accessories for 20% order has been cancelled:

Unfortunately, we were unable to confirm your identity with the information you provided. Your order has been canceled, and you haven't been charged for this transaction.

Please visit one of our AT&T stores, and present your identification if you would like to place your order again. We'll be happy to help you with your purchase.


I visited an AT&T store and of course, they said the 20% off is only for online order.

This is BS. I was an AT&T customer and I can buy stuff from ALL other retailer without this "cannot confirm your identity" crap.

Use an identity they can confirm next time
 
Thanks for the heads up. Just got the credit at Best Buy with my receipt. Bought my iPad a few weeks ago.
 
False, it was $150 off with student discount and for another $50 you could of added apple care plus, basically free with the student discount

How exactly do you get the student discount? I tried applying for it but never got a code. Do you need an e-mail address ending in .edu?

No, not definitively false.

1) sales tax in some cities is as high as 9.5% & avg is 8%. Best case scenario the $50 coupon negates the sales tax. That gets you a walk out price for a 128GB WiFi + Cellular for $780.

2) The Edu coupon isn't available to all and required an .edu email to register.

3) The $50 Apple Care coupon is still active and that offer still available. You do not have to purchase AC in the same transaction as your Apple product.

So yes, in some circumstances $80 no sales tax is better than $150 + sales tax. But also in this situation where the poster missed the deal, the B&H price is the best deal going and not far off the mark from the BB deal b/c no sales tax.
