Europeans Petition Apple over Mini
As reported by News.com earlier, European Mac Users have started a petition
to complain about the Mac Mini’s pricing. At the time of this article it’s approaching 4,000 signatures.
This isn’t a new issue for European Mac users. For quite some time they have felt that they are paying more for the same product, simply because they live on the other side of the Atlantic. On signature’s comment reads:
I would already have bought a Mac Mini if it wasn’t for the price (exchange rate) difference. (I just imported a 20G ipod from the US, it’s cheaper paying transport + import tax than buying one in a shop in Spain)
This comes just a few weeks after Apple’s high profile opening of it’s Regent Street (UK) Store. For many the store’s opening signified a renewed commitment towards European customers.
The strong support for the petition shows that European customers are far from satisfied by Apple’s pricing of it’s new economy model.
