Apple, not only HomePod: iMac 24 M1 also increases in price

With the debut on the market – including Italy – of the second generation HomePod, we have witnessed an increase in the price of its mini variant, which has passed on the official Apple store from 99 to 109 euros. It is possible – but not certain – that this is due to the activation of the integrated temperature sensor which allows you to manage a new series of home automation functions. But the news doesn’t stop at the smart speaker and touches – it would be better to say “to adjust” – the prices of the iMac.

The change is somehow linked to the announcement of the new MacBook Pro equipped with M2 Pro and M2 Max processors. Certainly these are not related products – one desktop, the other portable – but it is not the first time that the Cupertino company takes advantage of a refresh of its portfolio to adjust the prices of some of the devices already on the market.

And so, it was said, it happened for iMac. Also in this case we wanted to be sure of the price increase by relying on the Web Archive pages. Below you will find the two screenshots, one from the past days, the other from today.
