[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1544682, member: 38928"] You're not taking into account US sales tax. UK prices are quoted including VAT. US prices are quoted excluding sales tax as it varies state-to-state (US members correct me if I'm wrong). So using an average US sales tax of 7.5% we're still charged £60 more. But then companies selling in this country have higher business taxes too. But that's not an Apple-thing. That's a UK market-thing. It's the same for nearly all consumer electronics in the UK I'm afraid. On the flip-side UK phone contracts are much better value. [/QUOTE]
