If you’ve ever bought an Apple product outside of the USA, you know the prices can be devastatingly high — far more than warranted by the exchange rate. In fact, with a comparatively weak US dollar, buying apps and hardware internationally can be a major wallet drain.
We’re now hearing rumors that Apple may be moving to redress this imbalance by shifting the prices of both their hardware and their software.
9to5 Mac has heard that Apple retailers around the world will see a “modest-significant price drop” on models, and in some cases this is more than the equivalent of a $100 discount.
Meanwhile, MacStories thinks the current iTunes Connect downtime may be to deal with a similar problem with iTunes prices, which see some nations having to pay a more than 100% premium on content.
