If you buy every single one of them you have an extra $700 saving to pay some of your devices insurance. Apple would gladly take that back from you.:D

Are you related to my wife? She's famous for highlighting how much she "saved" while shopping.:p:D

offering customers free Apple Store gift cards worth up to A$210 or NZ$210 with the purchase of selected new Apple products

I'm always tickled when I see "free" associated with gift cards that only come with a required purchase. In this case though, I think it's MR that's at fault. Free shouldn't be in that description. Should just say "offering customers Apple Store gift cards...."

Still, nice discounts nonetheless. Anything to lessen the impact on the wallet is a good thing imo.
