Dealnews has analyzed the last three years' worth of data to find out when is the best time to buy a Mac.
Scoring deals on Apple's latest gadgets isn't as hard as it seems. Despite Apple's tight grip on prices, authorized resellers like Amazon, MacMall, and MacConnection frequently undercut Apple Store prices.
This time around, we have even better news for the Apple faithful, as we've noticed that deals on Apple products are happening more quickly and are getting more aggressive. And with the MacBook Pro refresh just around the corner, Apple fans can expect savings shortly after release, with a bit of careful reseller shopping.
Take a look at the infographic below or hit the link for more. Don't forget any day now Apple is widely expected to update the MacBook Pro with the newly released Ivy Bridge processors.
