Mac Pro - Price Hike

[h9826790]

Because blaming Brexit is a convenient excuse to grab more money. They were not the only company to do so. Considering the use of off-shore accounts and shell companies, tax breaks, investigations in tax avoidance, and then hiking the price on very old hardware - Apple has zero excuses. I don't really blame them for not wanting to pay taxes to a war monger government, but the consumer shouldn't be punished.

Convenient excuse? Or convenient reason? Apple is a company to make money. As long as currency is a reason to raise to price in UK, why not? Anyway, it still means that the price change is due to currency.

That still wouldn't rub because 10-11 years ago the exchange rate was about $2 to pound sterling and Apple still screwed UK customers by an average 300 dollars difference in price on a laptop (and more on a desktop).
