Are the prices the same? When I wanted a new iPod a month ago, Amazon's prices were significantly lower than Apple Store's, even for the newly released generation of Nanos.
- vvhn 14y agothey are usually slightly cheaper and till very recently in California, significantly cheaper because of the no sales tax advantage they had. The final price was >10% lower just because of that but Amazon doesn't have that advantage anymore.
- corin_ 14y agoIn the UK there is no tax difference (both Apple and Amazon have to include 20% VAT here), but still a big price difference. Here's an example, the iPod Nano 16GB latest generation is £103.99 on Amazon [1] compared to £129 direct from Apple [2], which is a saving of £25.01, which is 19%.

(That Amazon link doesn't include shipping but that's only an extra £3.99, so still considerably cheaper, and I'm sure when I bought mine it had free shipping... could be wrong, though.)
