He might be being hyperbolic, but the euro is definitely not doing too hot right now - it's gone from $1.18 to the euro a year ago to $1.02.
The Air in the UK is £1,249, up from £999 - a 25% increase.
The EU price is €1,500, up from €1,050 - a 43% increase.
At least some of that has to be explained by the euro dropping ~14% against the dollar. Take away 14% from the EU price and you get €1,290 - pretty close to the UK price.
- xbar 4y agoHere is an example of data abuse. You are comparing 2 different products' prices. The M2 Air is up £49 compared to its US counterpart. A ~5% increase. And its up €200 compared to its US counterpart. An ~18% increase. Exchange rates explain this easily.
