This story is part of 9to5mac’s series celebrating Apple’s 50th anniversary. April 1, 1976: 50 years ago, Apple was founded. 40 years later, to the date, I was a 25-year-old embarking on a health and fitness journey, and Apple was right at the core. April 1, 2016: I started an Apple Watch workout streak that helped guide me to running. I’d never run in my life at 25, but I started closing rings on my watch with a used elliptical at home. By fall, I was running, and by New Year’s Day, I had lost 50 pounds. April 1, 2017: I ran my first-ever 5K race. It was the “2017 Superintendent’s 5K Challenge: A Race for Education” in Miami, Florida. My 3.1-mile run time clocked in at 26 minutes 46 seconds with an 8-minute, 36-seconds pace per mile.

Macworld Less than a month ago, Apple started selling its new Studio Display XDR for $3,299/£2,999, with either a VESA mount or a stand. However, on Wednesday, Apple changed the price of the VESA mount model, reducing it by $400/£400 to $2,899/£2,599. The change, which was initially recognized by 9to5Mac, was made quietly, and Apple did not make a specific announcement about the new price. However, customers who bought the display with a VESA mount adapter at the Apple Store will be credited for a price adjustment. Apple support will contact those customers once the adjustment goes into effect. The change aligns with how Apple priced its original Pro Display XDR. That monitor started at $4,999 with a VESA mount and had a $999 tilt-and-height-adjustable stand option. The Studio Display XDR, however, initially cost the same whether you bought one with a stand or a VESA mount. The prices for the standard Studio Display, which was announced at the same time as the Studio Display XDR, have not changed. The cost of the Studio Display with a VESA mount or a tilt-adjustable stand is $1,599/£1,499, while the model with a tilt- and height-adjustable stand is $1,999/£1,899.
