[Update: Apple explains] Apple doubles cost of RAM upgrade for entry-level 13-inch MacBook Pro - 9to5Mac

Until today, Apple had charged $100 to upgrade from 8GB of RAM to 16GB of RAM, but now that upgrade costs $200 in the United States.

The price to upgrade RAM from 8GB to 16GB is $200 on other Macs, including the iMac and MacBook Air, and this change is meant to keep the fee consistent.

Apple says it will honor the earlier pricing for those who purchased the cheaper RAM upgrade before the price change went into effect.

Even a company as big as Apple can make pricing mistakes, but the Pro Display XDR stand and Mac Pro wheels are apparently accurately priced.

It’s not unusual at all for Apple to adjust build-to-order configuration pricing for the Mac lineup.

Apple refreshed the MacBook Pro lineup last month, bringing the new Magic Keyboard design and performance improvements.

As such, changes in component pricing are also evident when Apple releases a new Mac and adjusts the default storage configuration, such as last month when the MacBook Pro refresh also included double the SSD storage.

As of right now, RAM pricing for the rest of Apple’s Mac lineup has not changed.
