    £499 in the UK, to be on-topic.

    There's currently about 1.30$ to the £. I wonder how high the rate would
    have to go to see an end to the £ for $ regime? Not that I'm expectong
    that to happen any time soon!

    I think that's in no small part due to VAT.

    Nothing stopping you hopping on a plane to Oregon and buying at US rates
    though :-)

    The new iPad mini 7 will start at CHF 499 in Switzerland and what I have
    seen at € 599 on the Continent.

    I will definitely buy one for my wife who is waiting already 2 years for
    a replacement of her iPad mini 4.

    Don't be cruel to cats ;-) If someone would care to pay my air fare, but
    as DK said, Japan might be more interesting!
