It did change. They bumped $200 on the entire line. So even the 16GB version is more expensive.

I'd love to have customers like Apple. Bumps $200: "it didn't change!!!"

And no power adapter included.

You mean bumped $100. M4 MacBook Pro and M5 MacBook Pro started at $1599 with 512GB SSD.

Now it starts at $1699, a $100 bump but comes with a 1TB SSD. Previously it would have cost $1799 for the 1T SSD, so it's a $100 bump on base price but you are also getting 1TB SSD for $100 less than before.

Try making a good product that people love?

The base storage increased as well, and the upgrade prices for RAM are the same, which is where the real issue was.

To be fair, ever since the advent of high power USB-C PD that really, really is not needed any more, way too many power bricks are effectively e-waste.

People already have USB-C power bricks and docks everywhere and unlike pre-USB-C generations, you can use them not just across different generations of hardware, but across vendors as well.

I wonder if that would happen regardless of RAM, e.g. for tariffs etc.

The EU forbids them from including power adapters. They're still included everywhere else.
