Specifically, deals worth keeping an eye out for include the 9.7-inch iPad from earlier in 2018 (32GB, Wi-Fi), which is down to $269.99 today. This isn't quite the lowest price ever, but it is currently the best available online and $10 under the discount found just yesterday at eBay. Best Buy's event also has the first discounts found on the 2018 Mac mini in two configurations and lowest-ever prices on the 10.5-inch iPad Pro.

Why would you be concerned? Apple isn’t selling like it used to, especially at their higher prices.
