K klover macrumors 6502a Original poster Oct 22, 2013 #1 Just noticed this and was a bit disappointed - the iPad Mini price bump to $399 was already a bit of a hike. Now it's $419. Ah, who am I kidding, I'll still buy it.

Don't forget the US Dollar is weakening too so prices are actually increasing even more than you think in USD terms. 😀

A Altis macrumors 68040 Oct 22, 2013 #12 Oddly, the iPhone 5C costs $50 more ($599 vs $549) for 16 GB, and the 5C 32 GB is $70 more ($719 vs $649). $20 isn't bad on the iPads. We get far more screwed than that on many other things.
