Apple’s UK store page for the base configuration (Apple M4 Pro chip, 14-core CPU, 20-core GPU, 24GB memory, 512GB storage), as the Internet Archive saved it. Each row runs from the first to the last Internet Archive capture MacIQ read at that price; the price may have held before and after. MacIQ read a selection of the Archive’s captures, not every one. A “From” price is the store’s starting price for the chip option; the base configuration is the lowest one listed under it. Read 18 October 2026.
