Although everyone trusts amazondue to its guarantee, shipping speed, and prices, there is something that they do not always tell us, as is happening this month, when the company wants to get rid of certain products and “deceive” the user in a very simple way in the that we could all fall, and although it is true that they do not do it completely intentionally, it is a chore for the end client.
After the release of many new products this month, and the price drop of others, Jeff Bezos’ company has been left with a lot of stock of certain equipment that it needs to release, with offers that, although they seem succulent, are not so, and sometimes we will be paying more for a product that is now worth less and on top of that it has worse features on Amazon than on the official website itself.
Don’t buy these Apple products on Amazon
It is true that most Apple devices are much cheaper on Amazon than on the official website, such as AirTags, which we can find for about 30 euros instead of 40, or any case or accessory, as well as older phones. However, when there are launches, things change.
During this past month, in October, Apple launched new Macs with M4, and, after the increase in hardware, wanted to do something for the Old M2 and M3, doubling their base GB of RAM, from 8 GB to 16 GBpreserving their price.
On the other hand, to update a connector that has become obsolete, the company has launched the Magic Keyboard, Magic Trackpad and Magic Mouse with USB-Cleaving aside the lightning.
This leads us to a complicated scenario on Amazon, since the internet giant has not included the new products on its page, only giving us the option of continuing to purchase a MacBook M2 or M3 with 8 GB of RAM for the same price as a 16 GB GB on the Apple website. It is true that there may be a discount of a few dozen euros, trying to get you to buy it on Amazon, however, the price difference between those 8 GB of RAM difference would be much greater, so doing it in the Bezos store is a bad option.
On the other hand, the Magic Keyboard, Magic Trackpad and Magic Mouse have lower prices in any store that is not official, however, They continue with the old connectorwhich although it may be an opportunity for those who still have an iPhone with lighting, being able to take advantage of the charger, it is not so much for the rest, who think that it is the new model and are surprised when they see the old connector, having believed to find an offer, without really being one.
And you, did you take these factors into account? You have to be very careful when Apple presents something, because these types of companies usually try, with offers, to reduce their stock to zero, to start selling the new thing, however, many of us think that it is already the most recent, without being the case, paying more for less in the end.
