This headline is misleading/disingenuous.
They are taking the difference between the base price in the US excluding taxes and the UK price including VAT to calculate the difference, rather than the difference between the NY price - which includes local sales taxes and is therefore a more accurate comparison.
In which case the price increase is 'only' about 10% - which is still quite a bit but not what the headline would have you believe.
- salamander22 10y agoActually, the prices have been increased here in the UK. Example, the iMac model went up some £300 for no reason. The Mac Mini increased all models within the range by around 16%.
- snowwolf 10y agoYes, but the prices in the US have increased too. But in the table in the article, they are showing a 22% difference in price between US and UK for the Macbook Pro, which is not true.
