You do realize that the price of these is listed on their website. They're not $400.
- smcleod 6y agoI do realise that, Apple's website is where I got the price from and how much I paid. They are $399 (sure, $1 less than $400) in Australia and New Zealand - maybe you're in a different country?

- kristofferR 6y agoAustralian dollars are worth way less than the American dollars we're talking about.
- smcleod 6y agoI didn’t reply to any comment that was talking about the price in the USA, state or suggest I was talking about how much they might cost in the USA and the article was not discussing anything USA specific. > "Dollar (symbol: $) is the name of more than 20 currencies, including those of Australia, Brunei, Canada, Hong Kong, Jamaica, Liberia, Namibia, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan and the United States." - Wikipedia When you talk about the price of pacemakers, penicillin or Wifi do you expect everyone to talk about them in AUD just because they were invented there? Just because you (presumably) live the USA doesn’t mean the rest of the internet does.
- rickycook 6y agobest not talk about the price of medicine in USD; people might lose their lives
- kristofferR 6y agoI'm Norwegian. However, when people on an American website talk about dollars the americanness of the dollar is obviously implied. "I made 20 million dollars last year" will usually be interpreted like you are rich, not that you had a decent salary of 20 million Liberian dollars.
