Apple Officially Cuts 2026 Studio Display XDR Price by $400, VESA Models Now Start at $2,899
Apple quietly implemented an official $400 price drop on its newly released 2026 Studio Display XDR with VESA mount, bringing it down from $3,299 to $2,899 just weeks after launch. The company also restructured its website configuration process to prioritize stand selection over glass options, addressing criticism about pricing inconsistencies between VESA and adjustable stand models. Meanwhile, the standard Studio Display continues to be available with $100 discounts on Amazon.
