Pressing X for doubt.

Promise: Big Deals.
Reality: Prices increased over earlier months' retail pricing, and then slashed for the sale back to levels closer to the historical average. Maybe lower -- but similar to sale pricing offered at various other holidays and events.

Agreed. I see nothing exceptional here. Prime Day in July had better prices.

Nice to see that Apple is offering Early Black as a new color.

Amazon has the base Mac mini on sale for $499 https://a.co/d/fSVD7CE

I’m eyeing the 13-inch MacBook Air 13″ (M4, 16 GB/256 GB) and I see it listed for US $799 on Amazon right now.

My question: With Black Friday coming up, do you expect this model to drop further, or is $799 basically the best deal we’ll see?

Sadly, It looks like Micro Center stopped selling them for $449, and are now just meeting Amazon's prices.
In fact, they've raised other Apple prices as well; they have the Macbook Air 13s at $899, so you'd have to price match against Amazon. Hopefully it's just temporary, so they can make their Black Friday sale look good by going back to those discounts. If they stop price matching, I'm going to worry.

Black Friday has become such a meaningless thing these days

Please advise if 50$ off on ipad 11th gen is the best deal or can we expect them to get much lower by black Friday ?

In order to get the APPLE AIR TAGS has to be through AMAZON ONLY? or WILL APPLE ALSO DO THIS ONLINE ON THEIR WEBSITE? Mainly i ask for the matter or reason for the ENGRAVING. Does anyone know? Please and thank you!
