I would rate the discount as fair. What would keep me from buying are those two hideous wallpapers. lol j/k on the buying part.

Just wish Amazon/Best Buy carried the nano texture ones.
Typical 3rd party retailer discount is like $200 on the Pros, so there will most likely be cheaper prices later.

LPDDR6's power and performance improvements really making me want to wait for iPhone 18 Pro Max, M6 & M6 Pro Macs & iPads.

Having said that 3rd party dealers like Adorama, BHPhoto, BestBuy and even Amazon will eventually cut up to $500

Nice to see direct upfront discounts on brand new products. Think higher discounts will be available in a few months time.
