...Apple has increased the prices of its laptop and desktop computers in the UK by hundreds of pounds.

On Thursday, the company unveiled new Macbook Pro laptops, with prices similar to the US after currency conversion and addition of UK VAT.

But the company also increased the prices of its older computer products, including the three-year-old Mac Pro, by hundreds of pounds.
One analyst said consumers should expect further price increases.

"Apple has to recalibrate prices after significant currency fluctuations, and since the EU referendum, UK prices are out of sync with the dollar," said Patrick O'Brien, analyst at the Verdict Retail consultancy...

It worries me that it will.

Seems to be a lot of articles about the head of bank of england today and him going due to brexit not having capitulated the economy despite predictions. Ludicrous if it happens as anyone with an ounce of sense longs that it's impact on the economy will play out over time and it hasn't exactly been a rip roaring success to currency value.

Gove speaking out about him. I can't stand that man. A murdoch lapdog.

Brexit will happen,the UK cannot ignore the will of the electorate so it might as well be embraced.I note Gay Byrne said last week that Ireland should leave the EU the day after the UK leaves.A lot of sense in that.

It will no doubt. Doesn't make it the right thing.

There are reasons to leave it but the uk's ones are heavily skewed by murdoch and an anti immigrant propaganda from sun / mail. That doesn't mean everyone voting for it is a neandethral bigot just a lot more than you would care there to be.

The best hope of it not being a disaster is other countries to follow suit. No matter whether brexit works out or not it is still ill considered and being done for the wrong reasons (on the whole).
