Yesterday I walked past a LIDL store (if you don't know, think ALDI, Trader Joe's, cheap ) and saw that they currently have Airpods on sale (for a limited period of time). Apple was always very specific when it comes to presenting their products in a retail environment. Even large electronics store had to follow clear guidelines and Apple's products where always displayed in a special section.
Additionally Apple was always very strict on not offering apparent discounts (there were discounts, but not advertised). Today we see a lot of discounts, even on recently released products. You can just scroll through Macrumors' start page.
Is this is a shift in marketing we see here? Do you think Apple is risking its premium image?
