I believe now that all products in UK are priced in Pounds as they are in Dollars.

ie $200 in USA costs £200 in UK.

very little need to 'believe', hard(ware) facts for comparison…:

$2799

http://www.apple.com/uk/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro/15-inch

£2.699

http://www.apple.com/de/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro/15-inch

€3.199

$2.799 = £2.255 = €2.635 (price tags & exchange today)

£2.699 = €3.155

again: taxes & tariffs differ on location, and will change in the near future dramatically…

I don't 'know', but… there is some timeline coincidence with your BREXIT ( … 😎 …) and anticipating currency fluctuations Apple did adjust prices, for hardware too.

The EU price is untouched 299€ - incl. taxes.

For price comparisons $ vs. £/€, keep in mind, US prices are listed without taxes, because they vary on location.

Based on the current exchange rate it should still be around £240. .?

Yes, you would think so, wouldn't you?

When first available in UK in 2011 FCPX was £ 179.

Since then the exchange rate for $ to £ has changed by 24%

but FCPX has increased in price by 67%.Now £299

Yes Karsten is correct that currency fluctuations are affecting UK Apple prices

but this doesn't fully account for the increases we are seeing.

I believe now that all products in UK are priced in Pounds as they are in Dollars.

Quite simply: Apple being an American company, they work in dollars. In dollars, the price of FCP X has remained the same since it was launched in 2011 - $299. The exchange rates between dollars and euros, and dollars and pounds, have fluctuated over the years. From time to time, they adjust international prices.

I was lucky to buy it when the euro was high against the dollar (I paid <240 euros in 2011; it costs 299,99 euros now!).

As Karsten said, the Brexit has made the pound slide quite a bit.
