even with $500 off I couldn’t afford a MacBook or iMac. So instead I built a hackintosh and have the power of an iMac for 1/4 the price [doublepost=1502981733][/doublepost]
I really wish Apple would stop selling iMacs with spinning hard drives.
Got a tip for us?

That's a dumb way to think. You just insulted everyone who bought an iPhone 6s last year to save money on a new iPhone. Not everyone must have the absolute most current iPhone.
I'm with you, friend.
In fact, I am even thinking about keeping my iPhone 6s Plus for at least two more years. It's a work phone that gets a lot of use and still works great, so why upgrade?
Each year the reasons seem less compelling.
I imagine will see some more heavily discounted sale prices of the new iPad Pro's around Black Friday.
If people feel insulted by his comment they are pretty thin skinned. Good grief.
Yeh, I'm not insulted, but rather just think the comment that anyone not upgrading is somehow not enlightened or cool is dumb. If you want to upgrade, then by all means do it and enjoy the endorphin high you get for a few weeks. As for me, I'm not sure I'll ever upgrade to another iPhone. In fact, I just spent $250 yesterday for Bose QuietComfort 20 earbuds that won't even work with the new iPhone. I don't plan on buying a new phone that doesn't have a regular headphone jack. I doubt anything new on the new iPhone is going to be worth the investment; and if the rumored bottom end price is over $1000, I'm out anyway. I will keep chugging with my iPhone 6s Plus and see what the other side brings. I'm interested in the new Pixel actually. Especially now that Android Auto works with Waze, its another reason to hop. The only thing remotely keeping me tied to iPhone right now is family messaging.
Not to mention the iPhone 8 may launch much later in the year still and could have issues. We know the iphone 7 has been solid is should be plenty powerful enough for at least 2 more years. It's not a performance beast and the battery is shot but my 5S is still perfectly usable and its about to turn 4 years old.
That being said since the 8 is going to be a complete remodel I'll probably hold off.
Black Friday is somewhat soon and you’ll see tons of deals. Hell, B&H Photo throws out deals every so often, plus there’s no tax with them so there’s extra savings!

50 hour sale to celebrate 51 years. So they must have one year they really don't want to celebrate?
I own a 2012 as well, it's a MBP classic but still best computer I ever bought. Still fast and outstanding battery life.
want to get the macbook pro 13 inch 2017 with 256GB..I already have the 125 off college coupon so getting this laptop under 1000 would be a really good deal for me
The sale starts tomorrow night.

Nope. Only with a carrier. The best place to ensure you get an unlocked phone is buying from apple.
