A comment on MacBook Pro. Parent comment
It's entirely Brexit.
This day last year, £1 was worth $1.527.
Today, £1 is worth $1.223.
(1.223-1.527)/1.527 = -20% almost exactly, and the Mac Pro has increased in price by 20%.
Since GBP is fluctuating a lot, I wouldn't be surprised if Apple's prices include some extra leeway in case of further swings.
(And aren't I glad I emigrated from the UK last year...)
