How the gap has moved

Across the 3 days we have held a price for both, the gap between them was widest at $169.01 on Sep 14 and narrowest at $169.01 on Sep 14. iPad A16 has been the cheaper of the two on every one of those days. Today it is $169.01.

Measured from our own readings, carried forward day by day — a price stands until we record a different one. It starts on the first day we held a price for both, which is later than the day we began tracking one of them.
