I could be wrong but I'm not seeing any price increase in the website. Any example of price increase you have noticed?

These are pretty tiny in the grand scheme of things, recognizing that they’ve gone up a lot in the past three years.

No increase to GBP pricing. Could be just some FX balancing? ie increases only to countries which were lower priced in local currency than others?

Small increase in SGD for some models while others didn't change at all... could be worse.

Yes I’m aware of that, but even then the USD price was significantly lower than GBP, which is why I think they didn’t raise GBP prices. I haven’t checked all markets but from those I hear, the markets increased are lower priced to others. I doubt AP would cut prices in higher markets so this is the way to balance.

Oh I see. Didn’t know Us prices were cheaper than UK.

They should adjust prices in Japan and other Asian countries. The price discrepancy is insane vs US due to their weak currencies. The rest of the world is essentially absorbing the fx headwinds from these markets.

Yeh I agree, in Hong Kong there is no VAT/sales tax there which might explain the lower cost there. Not sure if there was an increase in JPY this round but yeh that is definitely an outlier and that currency tanked recently.

So it’s only happening in the USA due to FX issues
