During all the announcements and store updates on Tuesday, Apple quietly reduced the price of optional nano-texture glass on its 27-inch iMac models by $200.

Apple's existing 27-inch iMac range comes with an optional nano-texture glass, which is etched at the nanometer level to cut down on reflectivity and glare for a matte look.
The nano-texture glass was originally available on the 27-inch iMac as a $500 upgrade option, but Apple is now offering it at $300, as spotted by Twitter user Antares. The nano-texture option on Apple's Pro Display XDR remains a cool $1,000.
Apple on Tuesday announced a new, redesigned 24-inch iMac, featuring an M1 chip, a 4.5K display, and a range of color options, as well as an improved cooling system, front-facing camera, speaker system, microphones, power connector, and peripherals.
The new 24-inch iMac comes in green, pink, purple, blue, and silver, with the yellow and orange color options being exclusive to the 8-core model. Orders for the new 24-inch iMac begin on April 30, with devices arriving in the second half of May.
We're still waiting for rumors of a new high-end iMac to come to fruition. When Apple's supplies of iMac Pro run out, it will no longer be available whatsoever, but Apple still recommends the 27-inch iMac, released in August, as an alternative for pro customers.

Dont go bankruptcy , we love you and we need to use and see the future of macs even 20 years from now
Im ok with 500$ for that
Maybe better cut the price for that XDR pro display nano tech..and also cut in half that stand
That'll change with future ARM chips, I'm sure, but for now, that's a pretty big limitation.
This price cut just reflects that it’s less expensive today to produce the nano texture glass as tooling has ramped up. It might come standard on the upcoming Pro variant iMacs which would be a really killer differentiator. I expect it to work it’s way down the chain to all Apple computers in a few years time (with the caveat that they might not trust regular consumers to not destroy it by cleaning it improperly. It’s literally grooves in the glass surface, it HAS to be maintained properly).
