Apple increased prices on June 25th, 2026. Tim Cook hinted at price increases but nobody expected them to happen so soon after they were announced. I thought we had at least until the next product cycle. I needed a new Mac since mine is 7 years old, will I pay the new price or get lucky?

If you're looking for a pre-price increase Mac, check your local retailers like Best Buy, COSTCO, etc. You might still get lucky like I did :)
