Black Friday price from Apple:
- $1399, w $200 gift card
- Net price: $1199

Black Friday price on Amazon:
- $1149
- Same as last week, for what that's worth.

1. Any reason to buy from Apple?
2. There a better price anywhere else?

@davemark if you’d like to split the purchase into no interest 12 payments using Apple Card.

@davemark Well there's always a reason not to buy from Amazon, but $50 is $50.

If you have an Apple Card, you can pay over time with 0% interest and still get 3% cash back. I buy all of my Apple stuff directly from Apple this way and I think I come out ahead.

Also, you might be able to get a trade-in on a device you've already got.

@mlanger @davemark Amazon offers 5% back with their credit card. You can also do 0% interest payments but then won’t get the 5% cash back.
You can do the trade in for Apple credit regardless if you buy from them or not.

@yosefitche @davemark Yeah, but I have a conscience and, thus, avoid buying at Amazon whenever possible.

@mlanger @davemark if you can afford to spend more at a place that eases your conscience, more power to you. Though I don’t think any of these companies are much different from each other.

@yosefitche @davemark Yes, I can afford to spend a few dollars more to buy from a company other than Amazon. And if you think Amazon always has the best prices, you're only fooling yourself. 🙄

@davemark Edu or active military/veteran discounts can sometimes make up the difference. Also Apple refurbs are cheaper and you can still use the discount with them too.
