I've noted the price difference of the iphone 5 between USA and Australia and
others on the Apple stores
iphone 5
lightning adaptor
USA $199 = $175 AU
$29 US = $25 AU
OZ $799 = $799 AU
$35 AU = $35 AU
S $948 (singapore?) = $603 AU $42 SGD
= $32 AU
HK $5588 = 630 $AU
$238 HKD = $26 AU
Anyone got any thoughts an why there is such a price difference for the phone
when the accessories are fairly evenly/similarly priced?
Aren't these things made in Singapore or Taiwan or somewhere around SE Asia.
