10% more just for GST, some buffer for exchange rate fluctuations, and they also need extra to cover the more onerous warranty requirements in Australia. I'd expect all these costs to be around 25-30%.
- nwh 13y agoApple flat out ignores their legal obligations with warranty, so I don't see that as a factor. I had the logic board replaced in my year-and-a-bit-old MacBook and got a massive bill ($1400+), laughed and told them that the warranty was two years in Australia, and it was miraculously replaced with a $0 fee with no questions asked. If I'd not known and paid it, they'd have ripped me off for the value of the machine.
- hornetblack 13y agoThey attempt to avoid refund laws as well. Apple claim you can't get a refund on the App store. Although they have to provide one if an App you purchase does not do what was advertised. (This was brought up on The Chasers show "The Checkout")
- akavlie 13y agoI accidentally purchased a $5 app not too long ago (it was in the group of apps that were free for the 5th anniversary of the App Store). I selected the "Didn't mean to purchase this item" option in iTunes and got a refund immediately. No problem. http://www.imore.com/how-request-refund-itunes-or-app-store-purchase http://www.imore.com/how-request-refund-itunes-or-app-store-...
