Both figures are the starting prices Apple printed for the model. MacIQ has not matched the configurations behind them. Apple gives no date for the change: the date shown is the day MacIQ read the store page, not the day the price changed. Internet Archive captures of Apple’s UK store show MacBook Air (13-inch, M5): £1,099 on 17 June 2026 and £1,299 on 25 June 2026; MacBook Air (15-inch, M5): £1,299 on 17 June 2026 and £1,499 on 25 June 2026; each change lies between its two captures.
