“We recognize that many users, especially pros, rely on legacy connectors to get work done today and they face a transition. We want to help them move to the latest technology and peripherals, as well as accelerate the growth of this new ecosystem. Through the end of the year, we are reducing prices on all USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 peripherals we sell, as well as the prices on Apple’s USB-C adapters and cables.” said Apple in a statement.

Do note that the discounts will last till the end of this year. Moreover, if you've recently purchased an adapter for the MacBook Pros, Apple is refunding the difference between those of the reduced prices as well.
