Hell freezes over, Apple products in China are now cheaper than in Europe! wohoo - I mean, sucks if you're in Europe 
My iMac is getting old and i need to replace it soon. I am walking with plans to switch back to Windows because of the better configurations and to be honest, Windows is changed into a really nice OS.
This price change for ppl like me in Europe is not helping too. iMac or PC.. I think Apple is going to loose me as a desktop user.
In the U.S. sales taxes are never included in the shown price.People ultimately complain because it's rare for other global companies to do the same thing.
I can't think of any tech companies that do this as regularly as Apple.
It's like how Apple prominently shows the amount of VAT (UK sales tax) it has to charge next to its products to try and shift the blame for high prices away from their pricing policy.
The "38mm Stainless Steel Case with White Sport Band" Apple Watch "Includes VAT of approx. £80.00." for example.
This means nothing to consumers in the UK - all comparable products will include VAT. It feels like the sort of stunt that would work well politically in the US.
The iPhone starts from $820, the iPad Air 2 from $560 and the Apple Watch is not yet available but should start from $450
The iPhone is about $100 more than the US so not a huge difference.
As I said prices are more fair now than when Euro was stronger. I just hope they won't raise iPhone prices this fall
In the U.S. sales taxes are never included in the shown price.
On the UK website all the prices shown are the final prices, only in more detailed pages are the taxes shown. This is a good way of doing it because customers are never unwittingly mislead about the price of something and they always know how much tax they are paying. Knowing how much tax you are paying is benefit oval to those who can reclaim their taxes.

[ ]Retina5K before Canonlake revision, the non-retina is actually retina from a 60cm-viewing distance which is the actual distance i'm sitting at; and content-wise it doesn't make sense for me. what u think?
greetings from Germany
Want to buy a new rMBP. 30% price increase for 0.3% spec improvement, yeah, that makes sense.
Another price increase with the excuse of the dollar strength?
I'm curious to see if they'll lower the prices when the Euro rises again.
This seems very greedy.
You're getting this wrong, it's not another price increase for the same products.
In march, they adjusted prices for MacBooks and iPods, now it's the desktop Macs. No change so far for iPhones and iPads, at least in Europe.

I don't know if it was all across Europe, but there were price increases for iPhones and iPad in some European countries.
Not quite sure what message Apple are sending out currently in the UK. I have been in three large Apple stores this week and found the identical issue in all three - iMacs relegated to the back of the store.
Not only relegated to rear of store but given hardly any retail space. There was quite literally just three iMac's on display i.e. 21.5 inch 27" standard and the 27" 5K.
