Absolutely and Apple was just waiting for this situation to step up prices once again. Apple is being Apple even in the crisis, or somebody was expecting it to do charity in this time?
What is even more humiliating for them is that they have increased prices but I feel like they are giving me even less than before in ratio.
Anyway unless some kind of miracle (for us), they are going to sell again and compensating the lower spending with the price hikes. I guess they've made already their calculations.
It's strange how some find 120hz a few breaker but not others. I have had it on my ipad pro models since 2017 but never notice not having it on my iPhone or laptops.
Not what I heard here and there and notably in the professional press. Funny thing to hear the contrary from the actual users.
To be honest, I was quite attracted by the mini in the first place but I need a great battery life as I spend most of my day with my iPhone connected to my Mac with mobile hotspot so the battery melts like crazy. I had to buy the battery case for my 11 Pro in order to fulfill my needs.
Electronics are often a bit cheaper here for the latest models of things. Our VAT rate is 7.7% and companies tend to price electronics the same as in the Euro zone. However, with lower VAT the end-price is cheaper.
I don't use my mini for mobile hotspot often, but with regular use without gaming (I don't play games on my phone), YouTube is rather frequent and other social media apps - all is good. Apparently 13 mini is better than 12 mini.
In some parts. In Scandinavia, iMessage is the most widely used messaging platform followed by FaceBook Messenger.
I guess I just have sensitive eyes LOL. Like I said in my initial post, I really wish it wasn't so.
I am a particularly visual person and do creative work for a living, maybe that's why. Not only do I notice it easily, but if I use 120Hz for a while and then shift back to 60Hz, its doubly jarring for me.
Even US dollars drop later, Apple will not decrease $1 in these countries
I even mainly message some people through instagram DM as we comment on each other's stories.
I’m in the U.K. and things are tough here for many people but I’ve taken measures to minimise the effect on me and my family. Having an electric car and locking in a good energy deal. Between 1am and 6am it’s incredibly cheap so car, washer and dishwasher are all on timers. I have managed to avoid any price increase until May 2024 and I still get the £400 from the government and the Council Tax Rebate and I never buy petrol. I shall be parting with £2300 for two iPhones for myself and my husband which is quite a lot more than the prices last year. I also locked in prices for our current iPhones nice and early and used any vouchers, and discount codes where I can. We love our iPhones, so by being savvy and making some cuts, we feel we can manage the price increases.

Stats don't lie , iMessage usage across EU is not even listed there because of how low it actually is.
The truth is that the average consumer doesn't need the latest iPhone. Even the 12 is good enough for even the advanced user. Spotify, Yiktok, Safari, YouTube. Instagram and banking apps work identically across the iphone range.
Interestingly two months ago my GF's old iphone died and I temporarily bought her an Oppo a45s with a 6.5 inch display for.......£150.
What an eye opening device. Side by side with my 11 Pro Max you couldn't guess which one was £150 vs £1,000 retail. The camera, specifically for videos is the only category where a Pro iPhone is in a league of its own.
However if you are not a photo or video buff, the absolute latest iPhone(or smartphone) is not a must have.
When USD gets weak later, you expect Apple would decrease prices in Eruo? LOL
305 CHF is a terrible trade in price for a 512GB 12 Pro.... i got like 420.- for my 12 Mini with 128GB.
You should get over 500.-
I sold to these guys. Was very easy and painless.

Same price in Canada as last year, so along with the US Canada got no price increase. I still would’ve probably paid an increased price but glad not to have to.
which country? and do you think some of your shops could sell to other countries?
In Switzerland, iPhone 14 pro is 1219€ vs 1329€ in France
Money out: 1539 + 1249
Money in: 305
Items in your possession: iPhone 14 Pro and (up to) 2 years' use of the iPhone 12
Cost: Fr. 2'483
You can just go to Switzerland and buy the phone (well, once there's availability). Technically, you should import it into your own country and pay the relevant VAT.
Edited: Macrumors software auto-merged my posts but left the original one as well. D'oh

Are you for real?
You're talking about "your contacts" and "almost everybody in Europe" and assuming this is the same?
