- 15 hours ago Would you expect the prices of Intel based minis to drop? I am trying to buy one now to start working immediately and have too much Intel SW to run to be tempted to buy the new M1 based machines. The price on the Apple store is just as before. Would hate to buy now and see that in a.

We've even seen brand-new, flagship 16GB iPhones drop to $100 within a week of release! Still, the absolute lowest price that an iPhone will hit while it's the most current generation will occur about 11 months after debut; in the past, that has meant an attractive $58 price tag, or about 71% off.
I hope that everybody understands that companies have to innovate and release new products and change prices, otherwise they weren't paying attention in business class.
Everybody who whines about recent price drops needs to move on and accept that they were happy with their purchase before the drop in price, just as they should be happy with their product now.
I bought a refurbished Macbook Pro for $1,699 14 days ago. Recent price drop was $350. I called Apple and after being on hold for 20 minutes and a brief and polite discussion, they credited my credit card the full difference after about waiting another 15 minutes. I regard that as excellent customer service. If I had not gotten the rebate I would have still been happy with my Macbook Pro since I was happy with it before the price drop.

The really annoying part of an online sale is that you’re not quite sure if it’s really a sale or not. There’s one every week, and the price is never the same, ever so fluctuating. How are you supposed to make sense of it all.
And more importantly, how do you make sure you’re not getting ripped off in the name of a sale. You could easily do this on your own, visiting the product page every hour to check, but let’s face it, ain’t nobody got time for that.
Enter price tracking tools. They exist in the form of websites, iPhone apps, Android apps, Chrome extensions, you name it. Just ask the service to track the product and they’ll email/notify you when the price drops. How to get apple news app on mac. Simple eh?
1. Yellowbag
If you’re looking for a polished price tracking app for iPhone or Android, Yellowbag is where it’s at. The app has slick design and does the job of price tracking well.
Here’s how it works, when you’re out in the browser or any app, shopping, all you need to do is copy the URL, open the app and the app will prompt you to add it right to the app.
Then, tap the product image to get more info and to start tracking its price. In Yellowbag, you can track prices for up to 20 products.
2. Salemarked
Salemarked is mostly geared towards clothes and accessories. It supports a couple dozen online stores. Here’s how it works. First you create an account, then drag the Salemarked bookmarklet to your bookmarks bar.
When you find a product you want to track for a price drop, just click that bookmarklet, type in the desired price and let Salemarked do its thing. The website will email you when the product gets to your desired price. https://everdish643.weebly.com/blog/install-macos-mojave-app.
If the bookmarklet is a bit too much, you can also just go to Salemarked website and paste in the URL for the product page to track it.
3. Keepa

Yellowbag is nice and all but it doesn’t have a Chrome extension. And I can already hear the cries of all you pro-shoppers out there. You needa Chrome extension.
Let’s face it, most of us get our shopping done at Amazon. Keepa adds tons of useful tools right in the Amazon product page. Once you’ve installed the extension and you land on the product page, you’ll see a whole new Price History https://everdish643.weebly.com/blog/primerica-app-for-mac. section right below the product image.
This will show the price history of the product, so you know if this price is actually the lowest or not. From here you can track the product and find related deals.

PriceZombie is like Keepa, but, zombified. They have extensions for Chrome, Firefox and also Safari. On the surface, it’s an Amazon price tracker but it also integrates comparisons with places like Target, Newegg, HomeDepot and 100 other online stores.
Truly, it’s the comparison tool that shines the brightest. And of course, you can get price drop alerts.
5. SlickDeals
If you’re a deal-o-holic, SlickDeals is where the action’s at. They have a huge community and forum of people finding the best deals every single minute. And what that means for you is the freedom to laze around.
SlickDeals also has a Price Tracker. Just go to their website and paste in the URL or get the bookmarklet to start tracking.
