Hi Lynne!
Well Apple as good as they are, they are in it for profit!
And a number of people will just buy straight from Apple without looking around 
I think partly due to Apples name!
But it does make me wonder how much of this is profit!
And how much they could really bring the price of there full range down!
And still make a good profit!
But as it is the normal practice in the UK [I do not know about other countries 
] people will pay just to have the latest and newest!
For years people have paid more for cars in the UK but could get the same model 
much cheeper in the rest of Europe!
Apart from being lefthand drive!
It's simple if people did not pay then the price would have to drop!
Or am I wrong on this!
