At least for the M3 ipad Air, Target is also doing $150 off retail through Saturday. Plus another 5% for Target RedCard holders.

At this point everything's returnable, so IMHO it doesn't hurt to grab a deal and leave it unopened for a week.

Then if a better deal makes it worth the swap, do so.

I swear you post that photo of the iPad with the god awful robot thing just to annoy me. There are many other stock photos for that model, yet you consistently choose that one. There's no way it's not deliberate at this point.

MR: “Amazon this week is taking $69 off Wi-Fi models of Apple's 11th generation iPad. Prices start at $279.99 ('https://buy.geni.us/Proxy.ashx?TSID=3088&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0DZ75TN5F%3Ftag%3Dmacrumors-20%26th%3D1%26geniuslink%3Dtrue') for the 128GB Wi-Fi iPad, down from $349.00, a second-best price on this model.”

OK, I’ll bite! What *is* or *was* the *BEST* price on the iPad A16, 11th generation??

The $349 certainly wasn't THE 2nd best as Amazon & Best Buy both had it for $299 a few days ago and BB's price is still that!

That probably is the deal you're getting. A lot of places like Best Buy and Amazon are doing Black Friday weeks instead of a specific day, and prices on Apple products are rarely subject to insane doorbusters unless it's clearing out old inventory.
