@Gymgenius US shops generally don't include tax. Add 20% to the US price and it is much closer to the UK one, thought we are still paying a premium.
Got a tip for us?

Thanks, Apple!
Add in the tax, we're doing a bit better than their usual conversion on this one!
Is the smart keyboard available in the UK? I can only see a Logitech one, which looks bulky compared to the Apple one.
Yeah you do have to figure in the taxes, and then as far as I know it's pretty much exchange rates that determine the rest.
Which means that the iPad Pro starts off as an admittedly pricey beast, and then for some countries (such as NZ) it becomes even pricier. That's life.

Surprised Pencil and keyboard aren’t available at launch

I think I'll wait for the reviews - on here not the mainstream press
Nothing quite like real world usage is there ?

The pencil presumably needs something different in the manufacturing of the (larger) screen to make it work. I also think there will be Pro only apps released (in fact is that already true with the Adobe stuff?):
Got my this morning at 9.30am in the Bromley Store UK.
There is no VAT in the US - Tax rates are at most 8.75%. There is still an uplift outside of US - all US-based companies that do their accounting in US$ do it to compensate for fluctuation. It's a great product no doubt, but at this price point it ends up being a Gucci, Dior, Coco Channel type deal - just like the watch.
Scratch that - it is on the UK store but I had to search for it (it wasn't shown as an option at purchase of the iPad pro like the Logitech keyboard which is strange) Ships in two weeks like the pencil.
Really - that's cool. I'm actually in Eltham today so may drop buy on my way back. Did they look like they had plenty of stock?
I think I've got it. The UK price for iPad Air 2 was set when it came out, and for iPad Pro when it came out. Different exchange rates.
So the true conversion is 1.3.
All the other countries get conversion rates in line with the two exchange rates at the time.
The rate in NZ on this one works out to 1.5
No 128gb cell version in grey. But they have 128gb cell in white and gold. They also have pencils and the keyboards but need to unpack them.
$1249 AUD for 32gb(wifi) and I paid $649 for my 64gb iPad Air 2(wifi) brand new on eBay a few months ago (so probably cheaper now). I know that's abit less than double the price but then take into account you are getting 32gb less and you definitely are paying more than double...
Yes. They had to make a few calls and I rushed them up but we got the all clear. Can't wait to open it.
iPad Pro is not available in Denmark yet. Still says "coming this November".
...not that I wanted to buy it. I just want to laugh at the price.
