## Why These Deals Are (Almost) Too Good to Be True
Apple rarely gives discounts, so when they do, it’s like spotting a unicorn wearing AirPods. These pre-event deals are Apple’s way of clearing inventory before launching their next shiny gadget that we definitely don’t need but will absolutely buy. Think of it as Apple’s version of “spring cleaning,” except instead of dust bunnies, they’re sweeping out last season’s tech.
### Pros of Buying Now:
– **Immediate Gratification**: You get your shiny new gadget now instead of waiting for the next overpriced model.
– **Discounts**: Yes, Apple products and “discounts” in the same sentence. What a time to be alive.
– **FOMO Prevention**: You won’t spend the next six months wishing you had upgraded.
### Cons of Buying Now:
– **Buyer’s Remorse**: The new models might drop soon, and you’ll feel like you bought a flip phone in a smartphone world.
– **Budget Destruction**: Let’s be real—these “deals” are still not exactly cheap.

## How to Justify These Purchases to Yourself (and Others)
1. **”It’s an Investment”** – Sure, you could save for a house, but can a house stream Netflix in 4K?
2. **”Everyone Needs a Treat”** – Self-care isn’t just spa days; sometimes, it’s a MacBook Air.
3. **”I’m Supporting Innovation”** – Buying Apple products is basically like donating to science, right?
