A few days ago we informed you of another of the consequences of the United Kingdom's decision to leave the European Union. For several months the main technology companies have been raising the prices of their devices, mainly due to variations in the exchange rate between the pound and the dollar. A couple of months ago Microsoft raised the prices of its services and applications in the United Kingdom by 22%, but it seems that it was not the only climb that would make in the country. The Redmond-based company just announced a price hike for the Surface Pro 4 of up to 12% depending on models.
For many American companies that operate in dollars, rising costs of doing business in the UK is causing you to lose money, which is forcing you to raise prices in order to maintain margins. furthermore, they may not be the only price bumps, as if the pound continues to decline, companies are likely to continue to raise prices.
Microsoft has increased prices from 2% to 12%, which according to which models is an increase of up to 160 pounds. Previously the Surface Book range also suffered a price increase for its devices of 150 pounds. But as I have commented, it has not been the only company that has been forced to modify its prices. HTC, HP and Dell have raised the prices of all their products an average of 10%, while Apple has increased the prices of the available applications by 25% although for now it seems that the price of the company's mobile terminals remains stabilized . Sonos was the last company that has also been forced to adjust its prices, with increases that reach 25%, as we informed you a few days ago.
