- Apple Reduces Suggested Retail
- Prices on Many Macintosh Products in The U.S.
-
- CUPERTINO, California--September 28, 1992--The Apple USA
- division of Apple Computer, Inc. announced today that it has
- reduced manufacturer suggested retail prices (SRPs) in the
- United States on many Apple Macintosh personal computers and
- related peripheral and accessory products.
- Apple's SRP price reductions extend across the majority of the
- Macintosh product family including the Macintosh Quadra line.
- Reductions in SRP range from 11 percent to 36 percent on the following
- products: the Macintosh Classic II, Macintosh LC II, Macintosh
- IIsi, Macintosh IIci, Quadra 700, and selected configurations in
- the Quadra 950 line. Price reductions will vary by product,
- based on configuration. The new prices are effective immediately.
- "Lowering our SRPs will enhance our competitive market
- position by providing computers at aggressive price points
- across the Macintosh product line," said Bob Puette, president
- of the Apple USA division of Apple Computer, Inc.
- "This year Apple has seen solid gains in marketshare, unit share
- and overall revenue growth while many of our competitors have
- struggled to maintain their position," Puette added. "We intend to
- continue our offensive posture by attracting new customers
- through aggressive pricing, excellent products and unmatched
- value."
- Puette noted that while Apple USA is announcing a change in
- SRPs on many Macintosh products, it is difficult to calculate
- what effect this action will have on retail pricing set by resellers.
- Current and previous suggested retail prices for selected
- Macintosh computers are:
