In summary:
- Apple has quietly reduced the price of the Studio Display XDR with VESA mount by $400 to $2,899, down from $3,299, without any official announcement.
- According to Macworld, customers who recently purchased the VESA mount model will receive credits toward the price difference adjustment.
- The Standard Studio Display models retain their original pricing, suggesting that Apple is strategically aligning its Pro Display XDR pricing structure.
Less than a month ago, Apple started selling its new Studio Display XDR for $3,299/£2,999, with a VESA mount or stand. However, on Wednesday Apple changed the price of the VESA-mount model, reducing it from $400/£400 to $2,899/£2,599.
The change, initially acknowledged by 9to5Mac, was made quietly and Apple did not make a specific announcement about the new price. However, customers who purchased the display with a VESA mount adapter in the Apple Store will be credited with a price adjustment. Apple Support will contact these customers once the adjustment takes effect.
The change matches how Apple priced its original Pro Display XDR. This monitor started at $4,999 with a VESA mount and had a tilt and height adjustable stand option for $999. However, the Studio Display XDR initially costs the same whether you buy one with a stand or VESA mount.
Prices for the standard Studio Display, announced at the same time as the Studio Display XDR, have not changed. The cost of the Studio Display with a VESA mount or tilt-adjustable stand is $1,599/£1,499, while the model with a tilt- and height-adjustable stand is $1,999/£1,899.
