He's apparently never heard of "Prime Day" (I'll pretend I'm Arlen for a 
moment here), most probably because he's too poor to have an Amazon 
Prime membership.

Hey Arlen: it's not just Apple products that have "dirt cheap prices"...

....and the 24% discount on AirPods Pro 2 earbuds isn't even a particular 
large one.

So, by your "logic":

The Galaxy Tab A9+ must be absolute garbage with it's 39% discounted price.

The Galaxy S6 Lite is marked down by 44%. What a piece of shite!

And the ASUS Vivobook S 15 is complete crap with it's 47% price reduction!
