Both lines are the best price we recorded on each day, on one money axis. Our record for each starts when we started watching it, so a shorter line is a shorter record and not a cheaper history.

How the gap has moved

Across the 50 days we have held a price for both, the gap between them was widest at $138.00 on Sep 23 and narrowest at $25.00 on Oct 27. iPad Pro 13" M4 was the cheaper on 24 of them, iPad Pro 13" M5 on 26. Today it is $75.00.

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.
