Although the top leaders of the United Kingdom they remain convinced that the best thing they can do is leave the European UnionEvery day users who did not know they were voting are realizing that it was a big mistake to have voted that way. Since the result of the referendum was announced, many companies have expressed their discomfort at the uncertainty it is posing not only for users, but also for their businesses in the country, where they have already been forced to increase the price of the themselves, due to the drop in the exchange rate between the dollar and the pound sterling.
The last company that just announced that will modify their prices is the Sonos company, one of the best quality wireless speaker manufacturers on the market. As we can see on the customer support page, the company has been forced to raise prices due to the exchange between the two currencies, as the current situation has become unsustainable. That is, they do not earn even for pipes. In this way, as of February 23, the prices of the Sonos devices that are currently sold in the United Kingdom will be the following:
| Model | Current Price | New price | Increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| PLAY: 1 | £169 | £199 | £ 30 (18%) |
| PLAY: 3 | £259 | £299 | £ 40 (15%) |
| PLAY: 5 | £429 | £499 | £ 70 (16%) |

The recent weakness of the British pound against the US dollar began after the UK's referendum decision last year to exit the European Union. Many other international high-tech companies have also increased their prices in the UK since then. Apple has increased the prices of its app store by 25%, Dell, HP and HTC by 10%, while Microsoft has increased their prices by 22%.
