Apple Raises AirPods Prices in India as Result of New Import Duties

- Sort by reaction score
How does a company raise prices quietly and can I get an example of a company raising their prices loudly? I mean are they supposed to take out a full page ad in the Times of India saying we raised our prices?
I'd say it's to cover some local expense that's not present in other countries. India makes importing goods expensive to encourage local production.
So it's rigtfully theirs. Greed isn't just a thing that exists in multi trillion dollar companies. Wanting a $3k Mac for entertainment while someone doesn't have food to eat tonight could be considered greedy. You could have fed someone for a year with that money. Not being judgemental but everyone has greed and it's how we succeed.
So release these consumers from their shackles and let them spend less money.
Are these people who want to save their own money and pay less getting paid nearly $100 million?

What’s it got to do with you what someone else earns? It’s pretty’s terrible the way that the wealth is spread out among a few very rich people, but it’s the way these things work. Not really their fault. They don’t sit on their arses either. They work hard and are successful. I suggest pointing your anger at the system that supports it instead, or else it just looks like jealousy. Right now, if the shoe was on the other fooy and someone was telling you you earnt too much money, you would tell them to piss off.Are these people who want to save their own money and pay less getting paid nearly $100 million?

Warren Buffett is worth more than $100 billion, but he hasn’t had a pay raise in more than two decades.
In Berkshire Hathaway Inc.’s proxy statement filed late Friday, the holding company of insurance, utilities, rail, financing and other companies, disclosed that Buffett, who has been chairman and chief executive since 1970, had total 2021 compensation of $373,204, down from $380,328 in 2020 and below his 2019 total compensation of $374,773.
The total compensation for all three years included a base salary of $100,000. The company disclosed that Buffett’s annual salary has been $100,000 “for more than the past 25 years,” and that he receives no bonus or any form of equity-based compensation.
$100,000 base salary vs Tim Cook's $3 million base salary.
There's also former Costco CEO Jim Sinegal who had a base salary of $350,000 during his tenure.
I don't get what he's defending anyone from, all I said was that, as is perfectly obvious, people wanting to spend less money isn't the same thing as "greed", and in response I get a bizarre spiel about the profit motives of a trillion dollar tech company. This forum is so weird sometimes.
Doesn’t matter what it is, some defend Apple no matter what even when it’s very clear Apple is in the wrong.
Alyite. A Japanese ice cream company raised the price on its popular product for the first time in 25 years. The did so with a 1 minute commercial on national TV.
What's that? Louder for those in the back? They aired a commercial on national TV. Not the original link, but the only one I could find that you can watch outside of Japan.
Not their fault? They can refuse to accept high out-of-touch pay.

Salary is a drop in the bucket for executive pay. It’s about shares. Maybe do research.
It's not greedy at all for Apple to increase prices in line with exchange fluctuations; it's doing what you have to do when you have shareholders.
Suggesting that it's greedy to buy a Mac for $3k is naive, because it’s just as likely that the Mac will make them far more. It’s the 'Teach a Man to Fish' proverb/analogy.
Very bad. Import duty is causing products to be priced much higher.
I agree with you that there's this thing called inflation but people still expect Apple to price like it's 2019. Not everyone uses their Mac to make money or as a work tool though.
