As an example of the current exchange imbalance, the top of the line 13" MacBook pro is:
- 1799€ -> 1845CHF (->$2110) on the French Apple store.
- 1949CHF -> 1900€ (->$2228) on the Swiss Apple store.
The kicker here is that the VAT is 8% in Switzerland and 19+% in France, and yet the laptop is 100€ cheaper in France.
- sschueller 12y agoThere is also the 10% Apple adds to their stuff sold in Switzerland just because they can and people are stupid enough to pay it.
- jlouis 12y agoIndeed. This varies too much to be viable. In Denmark, the top-of-the-line 13" Macbook Pro sells for 13999 DKK (Roughly 1882 EUR - There are 25% VAT in .dk). Now, that price point is chosen for its locality to 14000, more than any other reason.
