Apple sells this for $179 on Apple.com, but here Apple sells it for $159?? Why do they do that?

I think the reason that Amazon is selling the 5th Generation iPod Nanos for $20 less than list is that there are newer (6th Generation) ones. (Note product titles which clearly indicate product generation.) On Apple's site, the only new iPod Nanos for sale are the 6th Generation ones. Any 5th Generation Nanos that you see there are refurbished ones.

Thanks so much for the tip! I also answered my own question by searching Amazon, and found that Amazon sells Applecare as well, at a much lower price than buying direct from Apple.

Its strange...I bought this computer at Best Buy - 3 weeks ago (4/14) for $599...its now $749 there and at Amazon.com, the price has always been this high. Thought Amazon would be the less expensive route - guess I was wrong. The computer is great for my needs, though.

Yeah, now the price is just insane. Even the Olympus site, which clearly shows both the white and black model by the product description only shows "black" under the color option drop down. This is just like the iPhone 4 fiasco, I don't get it.

There is a site called Appleinsider.com that compares all the online sources, including the apple site itself, and prices for apple products. It is quite amazing the difference in prices, and they also tell you if the shipping is free and if taxes apply. Some of the sources even spread your payments out over a year. Good site for keeping up to date with all apple products.

Ordered mine on May 23rd, I have a shipping date of July 21st. Oy vey. I am tempted to cancel the order altogether, forget about the rebate and suck up the sales tax at the Apple Store...Please anyone who receives theirs, please post here so we have a little more visibility on our orders (as opposed to: "will ship some time in the next two months"!)

I gave up on Amazon. Canceled my order (Preordered Feb 17th). I stopped by the local Apple store and picked one up that they had in stock. It sucks that i had to pay tax, but at least now i have it. I'm guessing Apple is to blame on this mess. It's seems that they're only selling them directly, and denying them to other stores like Amazon. :-/

It isn't that easy. There wasn't anything very helpful online. If you kept your receipt it may be noted in the product description. I didn't find an answer so just guessed (and lucked out). Also you might your Apple store. Good luck!

I'm wondering the same exact thing. I saw another one by AJ Wholesale, but they're charging $599 for the 32GB one...so I'm just waiting when to hear from these guys. I hope it's not too long...I've Googled it and still can't find an answer.

I checked out the macconnection.com site for the MacBook Pro. Price was $1815.00 after rebate, but shipping was not free, and there was sales tax of $187.00. How did you find free shipping and no tax on that site?

yes it is, I think $169 for 3 yrs ... but check with Apple to be sure of the $$

I am a photographer and have found zero differences! It's just like how Apple offers their educational pricing on items through the website, same concept for this! Amazing deal!!! :)

I think you have to buy it at the same time as the computer, check Apple's Web Site or Check at an Apple Store if you have one near you. They keep changing the rules, so I am not sure what the rules now.

Was not new. When it went out two months after I bought it, I took it to an Apple store and they me it had been previously sold from an Apple store in November 2012, so was outside their one year warranty. Neither Amazon or the seller would stand behind the product. Spend the extra $100.00 and buy from an Apple store.

Don't be stupid people, Amazon third party people sell it overpriced, there are other places that sell it for 69.99 or less, I can't say because then the resellers will buy it, but LOOK CAREFULLY.

Thank you for the update. Major bummer - Apple seems to be screwing Amazon and the other retailers by holding out inventory of the new iMacs from them. I don't want to wait another month + either, so I'll probably get one from the Apple store too, and suffer the $150 tax hit. Booooo to Apple on this one.

Sapan and Bradley are correct. This is not the "Support" I was talking about...apologize."One to One is just $99 for a full year and is available only at the time you buy a new Mac from the Apple Retail Store or the Apple Online Store"
