Apple often charges more for products sold outside of the US, but with the Australian dollar coming over parity with the value of the US dollar (currently less than a four cent differential), the company has reduced Australian prices of the entire iPod line.
The 160 GB iPod classic was reduced A$ 30 from $329 to $299.
The 8 GB iPod touch was cut $30 from $289 to $259 and the 32 GB version was lowered $29 bringing it from $378 to $349. The 64 GB model was slashed a full $50 taking it from $499 to $449 which is the largest price decrease in the line. The smallest price decrease was only $4 lowering the iPod shuffle from $69 to $65.
The iPod nano 8 GB is down $20 from $199 to $179 and the 16 GB version was lowered only $10 from $229 to $219. Perhaps it’s a slow seller in Australia.
I really hope that Apple has taken to heart the ebbs and flows of the US dollar as compared to other currencies and will follow suit in other countries.
