Costco has the same price, great with the executive membership cashback!
To answer your question, the economy is slowing and Apple sales are down due to high prices.
For those that has Chase Freedom credit cards, you will get 5% back on Amazon for this quarter.

Fantastic price.

What's up with Apple? Are the retailers lowering prices to (1) get rid of inventory in preparation for some announcement at WWDC in June? Or (2) prepare for the tariffs? Or, (3) boost sales in preparation of the upcoming slump in the economy?

Just wish they would lower prices on the iPad Pro's

I'm on the edge about getting the freedom card. What do you like about it.

If you like tracking rotating categories with low caps, go for it. If you're just wanting 5% back at Amazon, get the Prime card. Not really worth burning a 5/24 spot for but depends what you're after.

Apple has flooded the market with too many models that aren't different enough to justify higher prices. They need to unlock iOS to justify $500.

Best Buy has the same deal, and you can trade in an older model iPad for additional savings.

My guess... Their services division has become so profitable, they are able to care less about profit on hardware. At this point they just want their devices in as many hands as possible.

If you get this through Amazon, you can get up to 6% in savings if you have an Amazon Prime CC and opt for the slower shipping.

And if you get this through Costco, there's a $4.99 shipping fee and with an executive membership (2% cash back).

If you were planning to get this with AppleCare, I believe it's a better deal to get it from Costco.

The M3 Air @ $499.99 or the iPad A16 @ $299.99. What's the "better buy" given the prices and $200 difference?

Good deal! The M2 version was selling at this price around the holidays.
The M2 had a battery drain issue (need to take it in and have it looked at). Make sure the M3 doesn't, before you jump on this.
