Alongside a refresh of the iMac and new Radeon Pro Vega graphics options for the iMac Pro, Apple today quietly lowered the price of some of the storage upgrade options for the MacBook Pro.
2TB and 4TB SSD upgrade options for 13 and 15-inch machines are now more affordable, with Apple dropping prices as much as $400.
Upgrading to 2TB of storage on the 13 and 15-inch MacBook Pro models is now $200 cheaper, while upgrading to 4TB on the 15-inch MacBook Pro is $400 cheaper.
SSD upgrade pricing for the MacBook Pro models is below:
Entry level 15-inch MacBook Pro:
- 512GB SSD - +$200 (No change)
- 1TB SSD - +$600 (No change)
- 2TB SSD - +$1,200 ($200 off)
- 4TB SSD - +$3,000 ($400 off)
Higher-end 15-inch MacBook Pro:
- 1TB SSD - +$400 (No change)
- 2TB SSD - +$1,000 ($200 off)
- 4TB SSD - +$2,800 ($400 off)
Entry level 13-inch MacBook Pro:
- 512GB SSD - +$200 (No change)
- 1TB SSD - +$600 (No change)
- 2TB SSD - +$1,200 ($200 off)
Higher-end 13-inch MacBook Pro:

It's not unusual for Apple to adjust storage prices for its products, especially at the higher end, as prices fluctuate and come down over time after a machine has been released. Apple has changed storage prices for various Macs multiple times over the years.
Apple's MacBook Pro models are not designed to have the SSD upgraded after purchase as the storage is soldered to the motherboard, so the price drop is nice to see for those who want to purchase more storage to futureproof their machines.
