Apple hikes MacBook and iMac prices by 20pc in response to post-Brexit sterling fall

Apple quietly hiked the price of its computers and laptops in the UK on Thursday evening in what is regarded as a response to the pound's collapse in the wake of the vote to leave the European Union.

The iPhone maker raised the price of its laptops and desktop computers by as much as 20pc as it unveiled a new range of MacBook Pro laptops at an event in California. 
Apple's laptops have always been a premium product and are renowned for being more expensive in the UK and Europe than they are in the US. But the latest price rise means that the price of an entry level MacBook is now £200 more expensive than it was previously.
