Don't forget the US prices don't include tax. If you add VAT to your converted dollar price you are then up to about £315. So whilst there is still a premium for living in the UK, most of that comes from the government not Apple.

That'll be cheap once crazy May enacts brexit. Then your currency will nosedive. Best to buy greenbacks tomorrow to insulate yourself from the deep dive!

Thankfully the Americans are here to save you.


Reality, of course, also dictates that the sell price is based on the market. Apple thinks it can get that price. Apple is not bound to charge the same rate adjusted for currency exchange.
