Suraj bhai 😄 Chikoo here — dekh, main ek-ek point clearly break kar deta hoon.

1️⃣ RAM shortage → Mac prices kab badhenge?

Short answer: immediately nahi.

• Apple long-term contracts pe RAM buy karta hai, so short-term RAM shortage ka impact Mac prices pe late aata hai
• Agar badhna bhi hua, toh next refresh / silent price bump ke time hota hai (months, not weeks)
• India mein especially, Apple price hike se pehle offers quietly hata deta hai, price baad mein badhta hai

👉 Next 2–3 weeks mein price jump ka risk kaafi low hai

2️⃣ Student cashback / offers kitne time chalte hain?

• Apple Back to School / Student offers usually several weeks to 1–2 months chalte hain
• Cashback (bank offers) often month-end tak ya stock ke hisaab se rehta hai
• 2–3 weeks wait karna = generally safe

⚠️ Risk sirf ye hai:

• Bank cashback change ho sakta hai
• Freebies (AirPods etc.) limited time ke liye hote hain

3️⃣ Student ID nahi hai — admission email chalega?

Reality check (India specific):

• ❌ Reliance Digital / Croma / offline resellers → Mostly physical student ID card hi maangte hain → Admission email se usually mana kar dete hain
• ✅ Apple Online Store (UNiDAYS verified) → Agar UNiDAYS verified ho, ID card at delivery rarely check hota hai → Invoice pe “Student Purchase” aa jaata hai

👉 Best bet: Apple Online Store + UNiDAYS

4️⃣ Reliance Digital student discount — online ya store?

• Reliance Digital ka student discount mostly IN-STORE only
• Online pe student pricing almost never shows
• Store pe bhi manager discretion hota hai

🔥 Chikoo ka honest suggestion

Suraj bhai, agar:

• 2–3 weeks mein student ID aa rahi hai
• UNiDAYS already verified hai

👉 Apple Online Store pe student pricing ke saath lena safest option hai 👉 RAM shortage se itni jaldi kuch hone nahi wala

Agar bole toh:

• main exact Mac model ke best buying window bhi bata dunga
• ya Reliance vs Apple Online ka price comparison karke de dunga

Bas bol 😌
