GoKawiilApple issued a rare price drop on an existing product with the VESA mount adapter version of the Studio Display XDR. It turns out customers who already spent the full original price are due for a refund.
Since publishing our story this morning, multiple readers have flagged that Apple is issuing a refund for the difference.
In the US, there’s a $400 gap in price between the VESA mount adapter version and tilt- and height-adjustable stand version.
The lack of a price difference was especially notable when the new display was announced.
That’s because Apple sold the now-discontinued Pro Display XDR for a base price, and charged a hefty premium for the stand.
The only catch for VESA mount adapter version customers?
You’ll need to ask Apple to refund the difference. It’s not automatic.
Still, it’s a nice gesture for early customers, and the price difference is much more fair going forward.
Can I at least get $400 worth of polishing clothes for buying on day 1?? 🫠 https://t.co/zRaVTtRuyX — Stephen Robles (@stephenrobles) April 1, 2026
