Default [BBC] Apple wont lower music download costs in UK
Quote:
Six months ago, the company said it would lower the price of songs in the UK to bring British fees into line with those on its other European services
Quote:
But exchange rate changes since January mean 0.99 euros now equals 79p, meaning no price cut is necessary, Apple said
Quote:
The spokesman was unable to confirm what would happen when the exchange rate changed again, or whether British fans could end up paying more than 79p
Source : http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7507100.stm


Which makes sense, but come on why couldnt they have lowered the price months ago?

What odds that when the exchange rate changes again Apple wont do anything

You are expecting Apple, a company widely regarded as one that doesn't care how much it charges for something, to drop prices? If you're still holding your breath, you might want to call Guiness before you pass out and die.
