pricing

While this article is gaming related, it is in the same realm of what Apple has faced/facing now with their Apple Store. While my search-fuu is not the best here on these forums, I cannot help but see the similarities from past lawsuits against Apple. EA, anyone? REUTERS article Gist: If...

When the air costs exactly the same? Wouldn't it have made more sense for apple to release a single macbook laptop with fans in order to clearly seperate the pro 14"+ from the average consumer lines? If there was a macbook 13" with a fan I would buy it in a heartbeat but my only option is an...

Just browsing the holiday gift guide and it struck me that it is kind of crazy that Airpods Pro (2nd Gen) and Apple Watch SE are the same price. I know one is top of the line in its category, and other is bottom of the line in its own ... but the technology/materials/components just seem...

It's been a long time since I've posted here, but I'll try to keep it short - I am looking to purchase a Macintosh Quadra 900 or Quadra 950 - I was awfully close to getting one on eBay earlier, but I wound up getting outbid with 7 seconds to go. Suppose that's the game. Anyways, next cheapest...

Amazon has 32 Gb Adamanta DDR4-2400 MHz Ram on for $174.99, and it says for mid 2017 iMac. I'm not familiar with memory companies, is this acceptable? Any recommendations are appreciated, however I would love to save money if possible without compromising performance, if that's possible...

I love my iPad Air 2, and I was hoping to upgrade to the new iPad Pro. I am able to afford the tablet and I don't mind paying an Apple 'premium' because I know it will pay itself back in terms of reliability, resale value and what not. However, for me, the recent iPad Pro price points cross...

Hi, I’ve been reading and this is my first post. I am ready to replace my iPad Air2. I know there is an announcement coming next week. I don’t plan on buying one of the shiny, new, expensive iPads that will be introduced. But I know that new introductions could mean that existing stock may...

Since the keynote the internet has basically been in an uproar about how expensive the XS (particularly the XS Max) is, but what did people expect? Apple wasn't going to lower the price of the XS to slot the Max in at last year's X pricing. And the reason for that is because Apple has the XR to...

With all the whining there is around here, I think it's appropriate to bring this back

I thought for sure the XS would start at 849-899 NOT 999. I guess that helps current iPhone X owners resale price. The XR is where we thought it would be at 749 for 64 gb. hmmm Maybe I am keeping my X another year. CC

What do you think the prices of the three new iPhone's tomorrow will be? Heres my prediction: iPhone XC (6.1") - 64GB - $699 256GB - $849 iPhone XS (5.8") - 64GB - $899 256GB - $1049 512GB - $1149 or $1199 iPhone XS Plus or "max" (6.5") - 64GB - $999 256GB - $1149 512 GB - $1249 or $1299

I have an early 2015 MacBook Pro 13-inch with Retina Display. Since it was discontinued in 2017 and the Apple Store website has updated, I can't go back to see the original price. Does anyone know the original max price on a reconfigured MacBook Pro with the following specs? 3.1GHz Dual-core...

Since my 6 year old MBA with 4gb of ram is showing its age, I decided it's time for me to buy a new laptop but I need some advice. I have decided to get a 13-inch MBP. Now I can't decide which of the two configurations fits me, and my use case, better. I'm a grad student and I have to deal...

It's been mentioned a little in other threads, but why the HUGE price discrepancies between the iPhones for those of us not in America? Just using the iPhone 8+ 64GB as an example, as it's the model I went ahead and bought irregardless, but rather begrudgingly. In America costs US $799 In...

Here's my analysis: iPhone 7 / 32GB – $649.00 in US / £599.00 in UK / £5.168 premium iPhone 7 / 128GB – $749.00 in US / £699.00 in UK / £13.752 premium (+ £8.584) iPhone 7 / 256GB – $849.00 in US / £799.00 in UK / £22.12 premium (+ £8.368) Average premium: £13.68 Average change between models...

Earlier in the week, Apple's US Education website listed AppleCare+ pricing for 13" and 15" MacBook Pros at $269 and $379, respectively - not applying any discount to the retail AppleCare+ prices for these models. Yesterday, the Education site listed these prices at $249 and $349 ($20 and $30...

With the new MacBook Pros likely to be announced soon, has there been a history of a price drop at all on the previous models? For example, if I were to wait for the 2016 model to be released, but then purchase the 2015 MBP, is there any reliable history about what has been done (in the short...

So I was looking up prices of unlocked iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2 cellular models, and noticed that for some reason, given the same size, the iPhone is more expensive than the iPad. In the US store, the iPhone 6 64GB model costs $749 while the iPad Air 2 64GB cellular costs $729. While the...

Anyone else notice the drop in price for the iPhone SE? In Germany, the Apple store price (including VAT) for the 64GB version dropped from Euro 589.- to Euro 539.- (8.5% drop), while the price of the 16GB version was reduced from Euro 489.- to 479.- ("meager" 2% discount) :) What are the...

I am having a hard time understanding the new change in upgrading iPhone's. (Mainly because apparently things changed since I last upgraded my iPhone in 2014, and I had no reason to stay up-to-date with phone news, Lol) So in years past, I would upgrade my iPhone every 2-years and pay $199...
