Apple's Pricing Rant 

I love Apple. I love their products and the company itself, but what I don't like about them is their pricing.
I'm not going to go on a rant to say that Macs are overpriced because when it comes down to it, they are not overpriced. But Apple's other products like the iPhone and iPad vary in price internationally. I'm not just saying in some countries an iPhone costs a couple of $s more than in others, as that is understandable due to shipping costs etc. But in some cases Apple's products can cost over $100 more in another country.

The example I will give will be the Apple TV 160GB. In the US Apple store it costs $230 which is the equivalent of £150 a very good price for such a wonderful gadget. But in the UK Apple store it costs £223 which is the equivalent of $343. That is over $100 more than in the US and trust me if you get it from the UK you don't get anything extra.

All in all Apple is a great company, in fact Apple is an amazing company but no company can be perfect, many can try but they won't succeed and Apple is just the same. But to be honest I don't mind paying an extra $100 just as long as when I open that Apple box it is going to be a great product, which it will inevitably will be.
