While Apple is famous for the high quality of all of its products, it’s also very well-known for the high prices that come along with the quality. There are rarely any Apple products out there, aside from iPods or iPhones, that are less than $1,000, especially when you also purchase insurance policies, special features, and additional memory space to ensure that you are getting the highest performance possible out of your device. Although some would argue that these computers, tablets, and other devices are worth the cost, just as many others would say that Apple’s products are overly priced. However, no matter whether you’re an Apple lover or not, it’s always good to stay informed. Here are the most expensive Apple products available right now.

Yet, even though it’s the cheapest Apple option out there, it’s still one of the most expensive Apple products that you can buy right now when you add in additional costs. The starting price for a Macbook Air is $999.99, and while that doesn’t seem too awful a price for a laptop, when you want to add special features, such as additional memory space, a fast processor, and more storage, the cost can quickly sky rocket to, at most, more than $6,300.
4. iMac: $8,009.92
An iMac is Apple’s sleek and attractive desktop computer, one of Apple’s most iconic products. However, the design of the iMac, plus everything inside of it that keeps it working, costs a pretty penny, making it one of the most expensive Apple products available. The incomparably thin, LCD monitor, along with all the specs and software, make an iMac typically priced at around $2,000, but if you want to upgrade any of these features, it cost you thousands more, even over $8,000 in some cases.

Absolutely essential for those who are media professionals or anyone who needs to work any type of digital media, from video on iMovie or Adobe Premiere to pictures on iPhoto and Photoshop , a MacBook Pro does not come cheap, especially if you want, or in some cases, need the best of the best for your job. Depending on the size of your screen and the technical specificiations of your device, a MacBook Pro could end up costing you almost $9,000.
2. Mac Pro: $19,142.92
While a MacBook Pro is good for certain media jobs, the best computer possible for any creative profession is Apple’s redesigned desktop computer, the Mac Pro, which costs without any additional features, $2,999. To get the best possible version of a Mac Pro, with the most updated specs and fastest features possible, you may need to spend almost $20,000, which could be, for some customers, more than what they paid for their car.
1. VTrak x30 Series Ultra-Dense Expansion Chassis: $69,999
Coming it at almost $70,000, and topping the list of the most expensive Apple products presently available, is the VTrak x30 Series Ultra-Dense Expansion Chassis.

This product is mainly used in businesses, and if you have $70,000 to spend, it would definitely be useful for any type of company or organization.
