Best little country in the world!

Clean and green except for Auckland which we just accept as the a hole of the 
fish the north island is!

One of the most beautiful parts of the world though from what I hear.  Never 
had the pleasure of traveling there but I have heard great things.  Even with a 
goods and services tax.;)

Ah you know what they say, you were brought to your country in chains 
originally and we escaped.;)

Right, in my state it’s 0% sales tax, Yipee!

Funny how we do it by state or even town here.  Some towns / areas have 
different taxes in the same state.  Palm Beach county is an example where the 
tax is a bit higher than the surrounding state of Florida.  I luckily live in a 
right wing state with no taxes including sales.:)  We have a wicked lumber 
export tax though.;)
I used to order everything on amazon to get around the sales tax when I lived 
in California.  Our local sales tax was 10% and this was before amazon was 
forced to charge tax so that was a huge savings.

Yes, and, it includes 15% GST. US prices do not include sales tax′ That said, 
it is about $150 cheaper in Australia. Australia has a 10% GST which is 
included in the price. GST is Goods and Services Tax.

Wow!

Wow, wow wow!

In US dollars you’re paying over $1050 for the same phone I can order for $649. 
 SO in your dollars our base price would be $889 NZ currency.  That’s a hell of 
an import tax rate.

Ok, quick back of the napkin calculation here.  I show 649 US as about 840 NZ 
currency.  Can you buy them that inexpensively there?  If not, you PayPal me 
the money, I’ll order and ship you the phone and bam, no import tax.;)
speaking in theoretical of course.;)

I honestly couldn’t tell you.

Possibly a combination of a & b, but there is also the apple label and  the 
fact that our devices are not locked to a network and there fore being open 
we’re probably paying more.

You can get financing to buy a device but again that is through a finance 
company who can charge high interest rates.

Simon, is it the exchange rate or the import taxation that makes these devices 
so expensive for you down there?  I’d be down to help get um “creative” on the 
sourcing and shipping if it would help you save a lot of money.

It’s not it’s again going to need the phone for gathering functionality.

What I’d like to know is will they replace my apple watch series 1 with the new 
updated series 1 which they are putting the dual core processor into
 This is the same processor that they are putting in the new series 2 watch

But the new series 2 watch really does sound great,

If only I could currently afford it.

Hi.

I had a great laugh listening to the event when Apple said that water would 
come back out of the watch speaker once it was put in water.

I’m definitely getting the new watch.  Does anyone know how independent it is 
from the I phone?

Thanks.
