Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), the price of Macs in Europe and Canada increased during this day, the products of the American company being up to 600 euros more expensive on the "old continent" following the changes made. Price increase for Mac it comes against the background of a strong dollar, the Apple company trying to profit as much as possible from the fact that the American currency has a value much closer to the euro than in previous years, so this price increase probably does not surprise many people .
Most of the important countries in Europe feel this price increase, it will also be visible in Romania in the next period, although for now only the Apple Store Online has displayed it for Macs. According to the change, all 21.5 inch iMac models are 150 euros - 300 euros more expensive, depending on the model, while in the case of the 27 inch iMac the price has increased by up to 300 euros, the value being different depending on each the country.

In the case of the Mac Mini, the price increase is only up to 50 euros for the basic version, while the top versions have higher prices by up to 100 euros.
Despite these changes, the prices for the new MacBook 12 inch, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air have remained unchanged for now, but there is a good chance that they will increase in the next period. The price increases in Europe were not felt as strongly in Canada, where the prices of Macs increased by up to 400 dollars, the value being much lower than the one applied in Europe.
