This highlights the importance of comparing prices across platforms, especially during sales events like Prime Day.

Apple announced sweeping price increases across its product lineup yesterday, including raising the base price of the MacBook Neo from $599 to $699.

Covered by Apple’s one-year limited warranty

Covered by Apple’s 14-day returns policy

AppleCare product can be purchased
