These offers always go away when you pick the specs you need.

For example, on the 14" with 1TB above, if you pick 16GB of RAM instead of 8GB the discount goes away.
Yes and this site NEVER mentions the 8GB … it's almost like they're paid extra to omit that part.

I seen a guy called Tim handing them out for free a few days ago… they were flying out the back of the van.

He had a few Vision Pros too but no one was interested

How are they able to lower the price by $500 if the device costs so much due to R&D costing so much? At least that's what people who have never owned a business or understand how a business works said.

Company has more cash on hand than the entire planet yet somehow people think Apple is making only $100 profit per device they sell.

Yeah because on the models with the regular M3 chip 16GB isn't a default available config, it's a build to order option. The sales are generally for the default available configs.
We understand this part. The problem is that this is the case. It shouldn’t be. You shouldn’t have to sacrifice power and longevity to get a decent deal when the base models are also on sale.
