Why are Apple prices cheaper on Amazon?

Why are Apple products so cheap on Amazon? The answer is pretty simple. Amazon buys Apple products in bulk, in advance and at a whole sale price (i.e. not the MSRP), which allows them to sell the devices at a discount and still make a little bit of a profit. This is how all Apple Authorized Resellers operate.

Are genuine Apple products sold on Amazon?

Does the Apple store match prices?

Most people don’t know this, but Apple does have a price-matching policy in its stores.

Is PC connection cheaper than the Apple Store?

They were about $300 less than Apple’s on-line store, plus they included shipping, and a nice carrying case.
