Amazon had iPad Mini 7’s on sale a few weeks ago for $100 off. Wish that deal would circle back.

I’m somewhat keeping an eye out for it. I bought one from Costco last week for $100 off! But by the time I got online the 128GB was sold out so I went with a 256GB for $499. If Amazon throws them back on for $399 for the 128GB, I’ll return the 256GB and save $100. I don’t really fill up that much space. The lower storage will likely be sufficient.

I was going to get the one with the 512Gb SSD but I couldn't resist $100 off the base model. I just got a TB4 2TB drive from OWC yesterday so Ill offload everything but apps onto that drive.
Smart move! I always buy the base model Mini. It's the lowest cost Mac, in 2-3 years if it loses 50%, trade it in on another base model Mini or keep it until it's no longer supported. I got wise to Apple's game of support where you can realistically count on 5-6 years of OS upgrades and if you want the latest OS after that you need another Mac.

The new base M4 Mini hits the sweet spot at its price point. I traded in my M2 Mini while it still had some value and I may wait for the M5 Mini as i'm running off my 2018 i5 Mini.
 
Planning to buy a Series 10 here in India but unfortunately there are no deals here for Black Friday. Or again perhaps that is good as the temptation might be too much to resist buying more Apple devices. Just looking for any excuse to buy.

Or you ask Apple for a partial refund to match the sale price, avoiding the hassle and unnecessary cost that retailers need to pass on to everybody indirectly.
I searched on Apple and price matching, and various sources stated that Apple will match up to 10% if there's a brick and mortar authorized store selling the item at an advertised lower price. Since there is such a store doing that where I live, I figured there'd be no harm in calling Apple and asking for the 10% adjustment. After some time checking, the representative from the local Apple store explained that since I had already made the purchase I would have to return it and buy it again in order to get the 10% price matching. If I were to return it, I'd just go buy it for $499 (which is 20% off) at the other store.
 
Have you ever had a Black Friday sales event in UK? Just like US has never had a Boxing Day event. These type comments make no sense to me
It’s usually old tat the shops can’t sell. Amazon had some deals on the M4 base MBP’s last week but none now, and other third-party sellers seem to have no stock.

I usually pick up a few music apps though, bought Cubasis on offer yesterday.
 
I contacted BestBuy and they wouldn't match the Amazon deal, So many restrictions on price matching it is almost funny.
I would have bought the Mini right then if they matched it.
I think the Amazon deal goes for a week or so, and they said it wouldn't be shipped until December 13th
 
How the Mac Mini from Amazon is available in 1-2 months. 1 month is OK< 2 is no bueno
    • Usually ships within 1 to 2 months

Kinda sucks. I ordered one yesterday so I figure by the middle of next month it will ship. I'm willing to wait to save $100.

Yesterday Amazon said it would ship on December 13th, maybe you will get it sooner.
 
I read that the warranty is with the machine which means that Apple will honor the warranty no matter where you buy. I’d call them to clarify before buying from anyone other than an Apple Store.
 
If anyone has any better black Friday deals for Photoshop elements then the $59 one right now please let us know. :p
Yes I am from familiar with the alternatives and tried those out but I want to stay a little longer with Photoshop.
 
Will Apple or BestBuy have any Mac Mini deals for Cbyer Monday, that is the question
 
Will the AppleWatch 10 have discounts on the Apple Store on Black Friday. I want a specific combination of watch and strap and Amazon is not offering that. Plus Apple offer trade ins.
 
Looks like the Studio Display with a VESA mount has the same sale price as the standard model at Amazon, $1299. Tilt and height adjustable stand is $1699.
