people coming to this mall look mostly low-med income levels. There are many other areas targeting more affluent groups for Apple to consider, and Newport mall is less likely to be the one.

Sales taxes are lower in NJ, especially if in an urban enterprise zone like JC.

It’s a decent savings when you’re spending $1-2k on something, which is why I try to buy Apple stuff at Best Buy in JC versus going to one of the Apple stores in NYC.

If you want real savings, shop at target with a Target branded card. You will get the standard 5% discount, plus the lower sales tax, for an equivalent 10.8% discount.

You can also take it a step further by shopping at the Microcenter in Paterson. 5% discount on their card + just 3.5% sales tax.

Sure, but can you also get Legos, milk, and makeup while you pick up the latest Apple gadget at Microcenter? ;)

You can take it a step further by slheading to the mall and using the five finger discount

Targets pricing more than incorporates those saving for everything except it’s own house brands and clothing. You’ll still do better pricing on Amazon every day of the week regardless of sale. Targets business model is impulse purchases.

Also how often are people even going to the Apple Store? They sell products that should last for multiple years.

Unless someone is constantly going to the tech support part of the store the difference between getting to Newport and WTC is a pretty small inconvenience.

So once a year for the phone and less than that with the ipad and laptop?

Do you actually go to the store when you already know what you want or just order it online?
