On October 30, Apple completed three days of M4-based Mac announcements.
On Monday we reveal the iMac M4 in new quarters and with the Spotlight outlet, on Tuesday the Mac mini M4 in an all-new design, in the European MacBook Pro with M4, M4 Pro and M4 Max chips.
The key improvement was the increase in RAM in all base models from 8 GB to 16 GB. This also affected the MacBook Air, although their processors still existed.
This is importantbecause the price grid in dollars remained the same.
However, there were new customization optionsThe basic MacBook Pro on the M4 has a third port and Space Black color, like the adult models.
In rubles, we cannot rely on last year’s prices, since inflation has affected the total amount in Russian currency.
Below, check out a detailed chart of devices that might have caught your eye over the three days. In the end, I calculated the difference in currencies and found where it was more profitable to buy.
❗️ Why these countries
The American market offers the world a “beacon” of prices for Apple equipment. If they spoke there, they will be said everywhere.
Britain, the United Arab Emirates and Japan most often pay attention to the whey market in Russia.
Prices are calculated as of November 1, 2023, according to Yahoo! Finance:
2024:
🇺🇸 1 dollar = 96.88 RUB.
🇦🇪 1 dirham = 26.38 RUB.
🇯🇵 1 yen = 0.63 RUB.
🇬🇧 1 GBP = 126.09 RUB.
Pricing for iMac, Mac mini and MacBook Pro M4 configurations
The most expensive configuration of the MacBook Pro has become more expensive all over the world because the option of nano-texture glass has appeared.
The main change this year at the processor level was not only an increase in the performance of the M4 core compared to the M3 by up to 25%, but also an increase. quantity These kernels.
• At the top end, the iMac M4 supports 10 CPU cores versus 8 CPU cores versus the iMac M3, as well as 32 GB of combined memory versus 24 GB.
• The base MacBook Pro 14″ now also has 10 CPU cores in the M4 versus 8 CPU cores in the M3. The combined memory has increased from 8 GB to 16 GB.
• The 14-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Pro processor now starts with 12/16 CPU/GPU cores versus 11/14 in the M3 Pro. The combined memory has increased from 18 GB to 24 GB.
• The 14-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Max processor now starts with a set of 14/32 CPU/GPU cores versus 14/30 in the M3 Pro. The combined memory remains the same, 36 GB.
• The 16-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Pro now starts with 14/20 CPU/GPU cores versus 12/18 in the M3 Pro. The combined memory has increased from 18 GB to 24 GB.
• The 16-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Max processor now starts with 14/32 CPU/GPU cores versus 12/30 in the M3 Pro. The combined memory remains the same, 36 GB.
• The most famous MacBook Pro 16″ with M4 Max processor comes to a set of 16/40 CPU/GPU cores, like last year. The maximum combined memory remains the same, 128 GB.
The data suggests that Apple is increasing device performance by 50% in some cases without raising the dollar price.
Over the year, prices in rubles have changed differently relative to currencies.
Compared to the dollar (USD), prices in rubles increased by 4%, with the dirham (AED) also by 4%, and with the yen (JPY), purchases in rubles became more expensive 2.6%and with the pound sterling (GBP) by 7.3%.
The difference per pound of resources could have been even greater, but this year Apple has cut the price by £100 on all gadgets.
So It has become more profitable to buy in Japan than in other countries.
