The WWDC22 presentation brought us a lot of interesting news, including iOS 16, iPadOS 16, watchOS 9 or macOS Ventura, but it also brought us new devices. The most prominent of these is the new MacBook Air with M2 chip, a completely redesigned generation this is launching the second generation Apple Silicon chip.

Again, When we see the MacBook Air prices in the Spanish Apple Store, we are in for a (bad) surprise.. He just did not see the price of the new model with the M2 chip go above 1,500 Euros, The previous model with the M1 chip also increased its price by 90 eurosalthough it remains the same.

Apple raises the price of the old MacBook Air after releasing the new one

not so apple

Since the MacBook Air with the M1 chip is presented at the end of 2020, its price would not change in the previous season. €1,129It’s a pretty affordable price, staying at $999 in the United States. However, after the introduction of the new model with the M2 chip, Apple announced that it will keep the M1 model at the same pricebut this has only been so in his own country.

At the moment MacBook Air with M1 chip is priced at 1,219 euros in the Apple Store, that is, from one day to the next Apple increased the price of a device by 90 euros. well something never seen before on an Apple deviceafter the release of its successor, the price of the previous one increases.

MacBook Air M1 more expensive today than yesterday

we talk about Apple M1 chip model with 8-core CPU, 7-core GPU, 256GB to store. So, it’s the entry model that has become the only model Apple sells at the moment. Still, it would be understandable if I left the 8 GPU core model, but that doesn’t make any sense.

The only reason for Apple is the depreciation of the Euro.

The euro is not going through a good period due to instability and instability in Europe. depreciated against the dollar in recent months. For example, when the MacBook Air with the M1 chip was launched, one euro was worth $1.20, but has now dropped to $1.07.

a around 10% depreciation The European currency, which Apple applied almost directly to the price of the MacBook Air, rose 90 percent. However, this situation may be reversed in the future and we are not so sure that Apple will implement the opposite measure in a few months as the euro appreciates, i.e. lower the price of the MacBook Air.
