Let's take a iPad mini 2 32gb as our example ,it costs $320 on Apples US site and £259 on the uk site,Amazon has done an unfair conversion here and they don't compare the current exchange rate to determine the price at all,Apple
Have been using the same pricing structures for their devices for a good half a decade so your points are invalid I'm afraid.
Again will people stop defending Amazon  |
Ah, I see. Well the Oasis doesn't cost the 'same' It's $309.99 or £269.99.
Apple is like Amazon in their US/UK pricing. Once they've set the price, it doesn't change until the product is updated. The iPad mini 2 32GB price was set when there was a better £:$ exchange rate, as was the price of Amazon's Voyage.
Amazon's UK price for the Oasis matches their US price almost exactly. It's just that the £:$ exchange rate is pretty bad at the moment.
