Hi people, Bit of better news from Apple... Responding to Complaints, Apple Drops Adapter and Monitor Prices "Many Apple fans have been irked by how the new line of MacBook Pro laptops offer only Thunderbolt 3 ports (which are backward compatible with USB-C). To connect to nearly any existing peripheral, users will require one or more adapters, such as those for USB-A, DisplayPort, HDMI, Ethernet, and even older implementations of Thunderbolt."
"Apple doesn’t get any points for thinking ahead, but happily, the company does appear to be responding to the waves of criticism. According to the Loop, Apple is dropping prices on many of its adapters through the end of 2016. Affected products include: USB-C to USB Adapter: from $19 to $9 Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter: from $49 to $29 USB-C to Lightning Cable (1m): from $25 to $19 USB-C to Lightning Cable (2m): from $35 to $29 USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter: from $69 to $49 USB-C VGA Multiport Adapter: from $69 to $49 Apple is also discounting other USB-C products sold in the Apple online store, such as the SanDisk Extreme Pro SD UHS-II Card USB-C Reader, which drops from $49 to $29." NOTE: above prices are USD$ not AU$ http://www.loopinsight.com/2016/11/04/apple-cuts-prices-on-usb-c-adapters-and-accessories/ Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad4
