Apple Cuts Studio Display XDR VESA Option by $400

The change brings pricing in line with the common practice of charging less for a basic VESA mount than for an adjustable stand.

Overview

  • Apple, which updated its store Wednesday, lowered the Studio Display XDR with the VESA mount to $2,899 and kept stand-equipped models at $3,299 for standard glass and $3,599 for nano‑texture.
  • The nano‑texture version with the VESA mount also dropped by $400 to $3,199, matching the size of the cut on the standard glass model.
  • Apple revised the online configurator to ask for the stand choice first, making the lower VESA entry price clear before buyers pick the glass finish.
  • Some early buyers report Apple refunded the difference after the cut, based on posts flagged by outlets that spotted the quiet change.
  • Retail discounts continue on other Studio Display models at Amazon, while Apple left the non‑XDR Studio Display at $1,599 for either the tilt stand or the VESA mount.
