My decision to pounce on the $519 M4 iPad Air Amazon deal the day the price increases were announced is looking better and better. Even the new "$100 off" is $130 more.

Thats how smart companies market. Raise the price a lot and then discount a little. Make the costimer hurry up and buy before price goes uo even more. Its called “creating an artificial shortage”.
