Nope, both on the same Wifi network. Can’t think of why it would be showing differently. Not even force refreshing the page did anything. But I just checked again and now it’s showing the right prices.

Huh

It shows up as $599 on my iPhone, but not desktop.

Lowest I’m seeing from the preorder screen is $799.

$200 base price increase, ouch.

Edit: apparently it starts at $599, but for some reason Apple is showing me $799 for the base model.

Not relevant

Fair enough. It certainly benefits Apple if people with full photo libraries instead move those to iCloud with costly subscriptions.

Honestly doesn’t bother me that much, especially on a desktop. I have a large external hard drive for mass storage and an USB dongle that connects to an NVME drive.

Right now I’m using a desktop with Linux on it, but I’ve been debating replacing my desktop with a Mac (maybe MacBook or Mac Mini). I’d be fine with the small storage, what was really concerning me was the 8GB starting RAM and $200 upgrade to 16GB.

Thankfully, the base model now has 16GB of RAM.

Drew started the project but he isn’t really involved anymore. Simon Ser is the lead maintainer now.

I was confused when they mentioned they upgraded from Debian bullseye, were using an old Firefox version, and had to explicitly enable Wayland for Firefox. I then saw the date of the post.
