Apple UK Pricing?

[Willster]

What’s gone wrong with their UK pricing? When I looked the other day the current iPad Air 64Gb was £569, it’s now gone up to £669?!
USA price is still $599 and local UK store price is still £569.

Yesterday, I listened to an afternoon NPR (National Public Radio) program on the surging US dollar and the falling British pound - I suspect Apple is adjusting its prices overseas? Take a read at the link - Dave

Maybe, but a £100 increase is a hell of a lot on a £569 product. I guess many folks will look elsewhere if those kind of increases continue.

Our UK inflation is now over 10%, but that is just the *average* of a collection of things. Some items in Tesco, my wife noticed, have gone up over 30% in the last year and I don’t see them stabilising or coming down in the short (probably several years) term Then, as Giradman mentioned, there is the change in the US dollar and Euro….

One question will be whether, or what, to buy now before the prices rise yet again. A dreaded spiral.

Well, we bought an iPad Air at the price Apple were selling it on Monday - £569.00, just not from Apple.
