<p>Apple did more on Tuesday than streamline the MacBook lineup (https://www.macworld.com/article/3407800/apple-kills-macbook-non-touch-bar-macbook-pro-notebook-shakeup.html). It also dramatically reduced the price of many storage upgrades across all Macs, including MacBooks, iMacs, and even the new Mac mini.</p><p>In the wake of falling SSD prices, Apple’s surcharge for bigger drives was particulalry egregious. With these price drops, they are still a bit above the norm, but back into the realm of reality.</p><p>For example, upgrading the Mac mini’s 128GB drive to the maximum 2TB used to be a $1,400 upgrade, now it’s $1,000. The base model MacBook Air used to have a 1.5TB option for $1,100, now replaced by a 1TB option for $600. The 2TB SSD option for the entry-level 13-inch MacBook Pro was $1,200, now it’s $1,000 (and that entry-level system got Touch Bar, Touch ID, and a big processor upgrade, too).</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3407742/apple-slashes-prices-on-mac-storage-upgrades.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
