The Management posted:Apple generally charges the same base price everywhere. on top of that are taxes and other fees your country requires but that don’t go to Apple. sales tax in the US is between 0 and 10 percent depending on the state, so the price varies by that much. you probably have a steeper VAT than that. yeah i know, especially with our vat being 21% now, and at least 18% for forever. just saying how much it means to a normal latvian person with a more tangible reference point the price itself is not a surprise in the slightest

i was on the train watching a video with my X and AirPods and a guy behind me taps my shoulder. him: do you like it? was it worth it? me: i'm liking it. he gives me a smirk and pulls out a space grey iPhone X box from a white apple bag. looks like he had come back from buying one. i give him a nod and a thumbs up while mouthing "nice" and went back to my movie.

any consumer goods other than basic food, alcohol, smokes, and select medicaments, is more expensive in latvia than in most of eu, because we can only produce those listed, and in limited quantities, and our excise is low iphone ecks 256 gb is 1349 eur/1563 usd
