To be fair, it's not just Apple.
The UK is known in the industry as "Treasure Island" because they know that they can charge more here and get away with it.
E.g. Bose QC15 noise cancelling headphones: 25.2% premium excluding sales tax, 50.2% premium including sales tax comparing a zero sales tax US state to the UK.
- colin_jack 15y agoTrue, to be honest I had a spell of checking the difference for products before buying them and if it was too high I'd give the product a bad review on Amazon. Felt good :P Out of interest are you aware of a site that does this sort of comparison?
- srgseg 15y agoNo but it only takes about 30 seconds in a spreadsheet :)
- colin_jack 15y agoSure but it seems like there should be a site, enter product details and it works out premium being paid in your country.
