iPhone 14 Pro Max Why do Europeans complain about non-existent price increases?

Do you think there’s arguments in mumsnet where people talk about the price of food items going up and others jump in saying that item is made in vietnam so you can’t talk about the price unless you look at the Vietnamese price without sales tax and compare that.

I’ve noticed that people on here just need a reason to vehemently defend Apple. Apple can do no wrong in their eyes. You should never defend any company like that, not even the one you work for

I absolutely agree with you. People become slaves of the corporations marketing, they forget how to think for themselves even though they securely believe they’re independent thinking dession makers

I've come across a few posts where it is claimed iPhone 14 prices have increased significantly. But this simply isn't true when you convert euros back to USD. Do people expect Apple to eat the currency exchange difference? We know the benchmark USD prices for iPhone 14 series. They do not include any sales taxes.

• iPhone 14 128GB - $829
• iPhone 14 Pro 128GB - $999
• iPhone 14 Pro Max 128GB - $1,099

Let's see what these prices look like on Apple Store Ireland for example:

• iPhone 14 128GB - €1,029.00 (Includes VAT of €192.41) | €836.59 = $804
• iPhone 14 Pro 128GB - €1,339.00 (Includes VAT of €250.38) | €1088.65 = $1,045
• iPhone 14 Pro Max 128GB - €1,489.00 (Includes VAT of €278.43) | €1210.57 = $1,163

Never see companies reverse that change when the currency goes the other way!

Apple have reduced the cost in recent years a couple of times so they may do. If less people are buying the product then it’s up to Apple to decide whether they are happy to continue seeing a decline. I think if things settle down by 2024, we will see a reduction. I don’t think they’ll do it for next year as the economic mess is unlikely to have resolved by then.
