Whenever Apple releases a new device, everyone wants it that very day. After all ,wouldn't you want to be the first one with today's status symbol? But unless you have the money to be an early adopter, you would want to look for the best deal for an Apple product. A report at dealnews.com that has analyzed three years of Apple products and pricing offers this one important piece of advice: Don't buy an Apple product on the day of its launch.

This seems like common sense, but from the long lines of Apple customers waiting every time a new product launches, you have to wonder. Budget-conscious Apple customers waiting a just a few days after a device hits the market will get it cheaper: Apple products are discounted within eight days after the initial release, so just curbing your Apple frenzy for a few days will save you money.

You can also save money if you buy from other retailers. The best deals and discounts come from other vendors like Amazon or local retailers if you're not in the country.

Dealnews.com data noted that the 15" MacBook Pro 2011 was the fastest Apple device discounted -- selling for $100 cheaper after a few hours of its release. The MacBook Air and 2011 iMac 21.5" were also discounted soon after its debut with $30 off after one day for the MacBook Air and $94 off after eight days for the iMac.

For iPads and iPhones, waiting doesn't net you any savings because the price doesn't really change even after a few months. The prices for iPads and iPhones only drop when Apple introduces the next generation iPads and iPhones. To save money on the tablet and phone you can either buy an older model just when the new one appears or to buy a discounted refurbished iPad.
