Recently Apple have been criticised at charging higher prices to international customers.
The excuse/reason given was that the international price was set from the date of the product change (or new product introduced) and stayed for the 'life' of the product (until the next change/upgrade - usually 6 months).
Firstly this is poor business. Competitors change their prices on a fortnightly basis - Apple are just plainly lazy.
Secondly - this policy is clearly a pack of lies when using the newly bumped eMacs as examples. Australian prices are $123USD more for the combo and $136USD more for the superdrive.
If Jobs were here I'd nail his bollocks to a tree (keeping in the recent easter tradition but with a twist).
To calculate this I used a value of 6% for US sales tax and the currency conversion rate of $1AUD to $0.7475USD
