The consequences of Brexit continue to be felt and that the separation is still not formalized. However, before the devaluation of the pound, which has depreciated 17 per cent, Apple has increased its prices more than 20 per cent in the Uk, which in some products has resulted in up to 500 pounds more (about 555 euros) since last Friday.
In the wake of this decision, the company from Cupertino now charges 2.999 pounds for a MacBook Pro, (+22 percent) when the last Thursday paid 2.499 pounds, while the MacBook 12-inch rose 200 pounds to achieve the price of 1.249 lb (+17 percent), the Mac Mini will be increased from 399 to 479 pounds and the iPhone 7 costs from the Friday are 12 percent more.
The increases in prices have been applied to almost the entire catalog of products offered by the brand in the Uk, and as stated in a press release "Apple fixed international prices for their products on the basis of various factors, among them are the exchange rate, local laws, import, trade practices, taxes, and operating cost. These factors vary from one region to another and also change with time, so that international prices are not always comparable to the retail prices which are recommended for the united States".
For their part, some consumer organisations point out that the increase of this company on its technological products has been greater than the fall, which until now has suffered from the british currency (17 per cent versus 22 per cent of maximum increase, a situation that for the experts shows that they are covering the backs with the expected devaluation continued to the United Kingdom.
