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.

It's a mystery why Apple couldn't answer that for you as Apple tells all retailers what to charge for all their stuff. They can't decide to take a slimmer margin and drop the price, nor can they raise the price and make a bit more. Apple gives a few pennies leeway for discount stores like WalMart and Sam's Club, but they do give themselves an advantage. The difference isn't a couple of hundred, though. More like $50. Best Buy stores have iPads at the same pricepoint as Apple Stores, as does BestBuy.com.Apple also doesn't discount older products when new products come out, which is why last year's Macbook usually costs more and has fewer features and less power than this year's.

I just bought it at digitalelectronics4less.com for $180. I'm confused since it is listed for about $260 everywhere else (and sometimes much more!)...but it appears to be new and have all accessories. Score!

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.

I second that. Is this product available now? There is another product labeled as the otterbox iPad defender that is already out, has 5 reviews, and is selling for about $80-90.

They've made several versions of this, and given the big discount, it's probably an older model, possibly for the first iPad. if it's not, you can always return it.

wtf is right. why is this going for almost 3x it's regular price? surely there is a new and improved version out there (which normally makes the price of the older model go DOWN). does anyone know?

got it in 7 days? that's good. too bad I ordered on sept 7th (came out on the 6th, I waited for the rebate to actually show up) and it hasn't even been recognized by amazon yet. hopefully i'll have it sometime next week or the week after that. I woulda got it from apple, but I save 270 bucks thru amazon.

They haven't updated it in almost 2 years so if they don't change it at all we can assume that it may be discontinued, because the iPod Touch is expected to get a 128gb model. Personally I would rather pay $250 for 160gb rather than $400 for 128gb.

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'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'm seriously pissed off about this pricing. I have an Amazon Rewards Visa card. I get three points for every dollar spent on an Amazon purchase vs one point for each dollar spent somewhere else. This is $60 above list price. It is just as cheap for me to drive to an Apple store and buy it and pay the sales tax as to purchase this iPad from Amazon. This is like a big middle finger raised at me from Amazon.

No clue. Maybe you might check the Apple web site. I have only had or held the one I ordered. I am not a supplier or a seller.

BTW, I just checked the price. It's now 169.00. I paid 159.00. Some other people that left reviews paid less than I did.

The 64gb is now $299.00 at the Apple store and Apple store online. The 32gb is $249.00.

In the e-mail the prices were $229.99 and $299.99 ... perhaps you thought they were the same? I tried adding the $299.99 version to my shopping cart, and it came up $299.99. Might have been a temporary glitch, or else they fixed it after seeing your post. Looks like a handy gadget to have!
