That actually happened in Brazil recently, although somewhere around 10%. But prices here are so ridiculously high it didn't even make a difference lolTrue, but it tend to work one way only. Anyone remember the last time Apple reduced prices because of exchange rates. (in the 25% range?)
A very American response, ultimately the Japanese consumer is still being paid in JPY so this is very much a price increase for them.Apple did not raise prices. They adjusted for current exchange rates due to currency fluctuations. BIG difference.

A similar response could've just as easily come from a Japanese poster if the currency situation was reversed.
No it wouldn't because the USD is treated as the base currency that everything else is based on, which is why most Americans can't grasp how currency adjustments affects others. That's the whole point of what I'm saying here.
Yeah, that was my point exactly. I just don't really understand that guy from Switzerland. He earns a lot of money and still cries cause Apple products are expensive.a company doesnt care about how expensive is life in a certain country. why it should? Otherwise it should sell an iphone for 3000 in switzerland and for 50 in congo...
I live here in Japan and was interested in maybe getting the Airpods Max soon. Just 3 weeks ago the net had them for only $420 to $500
Just checked today and the damn things are selling for 84,800円 that’s $624 dollars and some places are selling them for over 90,000 yen! It’s damn ridiculous for us here and outrageous. No one can afford Apple products here anymore, they literally will not do good.
