Re: RE: tax competency
People won't stop buying Apple kit even if the price goes up by a few percent.
Why would prices go up?
Apple sets the price based on demand. Costs have nothing to do with it, unless the cost is higher than the price. Which certainly isn't the case for Apple products.
Do you think that Apple offered a lower price in Europe because of their tax dodge? The higher profit might have encouraged them to introduce products earlier and prioritize deliveries to the region, but they still charge what the market will bear.
