In Europe the prices have also (once again) increased tremendously, where I’m at the entry level iPad went from €389 to a whopping €589 over night, that’s nearly a 50% increase.
Perhaps, but those are made in China, with Taiwanese and Korean parts thrown in, anyway.
Did those raise compared to the Euro? Or it's just that Apple wants to get the same or more amounts of dollar coming in, and the change in Euro vs Dollar is a red herring?
