Apple Sneakily Makes iPad Pro More Expensive For No Good Reason

While Apple dazzled the tech industry with the reveal of its iPhone X and its newest Apple Watches, the company made some changes with its iPad Pros on the sly. The Cupertino firm basically made its tablets more expensive without adding any new features or making any discernable improvements without telling anyone about it.

The cost of the iPad Pro just got a $50 bump. This applies to both the 256GB and the 512GB versions, which MacRumors spotted yesterday. Right now, the 10.5-inch iPad Pro costs $649, which is for the base 64GB model. The units with higher specs cost $799 and $999.

The prices are even higher for the 12.9-inch models, with costs starting at $799, followed with $949, and then $1,149. There have been no announcements related to the price increases nor have there been any justifications on Apple’s side.

Some are speculating that the increase in prices is due to the higher costs for the memory, but so far, no one has been able to confirm if this is the case. It just seemed like Apple decided to make the iPad Pro more expensive for no good reason.

As PC Mag notes, the new prices have just been enacted, so there’s every chance that some retailers might not have received a memo to increase the costs. As such, if people who were thinking of buying an iPad Pro act fast, they might be able to save that extra $50 that Apple wants its customers to eat.

At this point, there’s no doubt that Apple fans are going to buy Apple products no matter what. If there’s one thing that the company has proven in the decade that it has ruled the tech roost, it’s that loyalists will keep buying its products no matter how expensive they get.
