Iimveliso ze-Apple azixabisi ngokufanayo kuyo yonke indawo emhlabeni. Nabani na othanda kancinci iimveliso zetekhnoloji ngokuqinisekileyo uyivile iklasikhi "I-Apple yenza utshintsho lwedola: i-euro njenge-1: 1". Ngoku, ngeenguqu kwixabiso le-euro, siphulukene nazo, iimveliso ze-Apple zibiza kakhulu eYurophu kunase-United States, ngaphandle kwenyani yokuba i-euro isaselungelweni lwemali yaseMelika. Ngaba oku kunjalo ngokwenene? Nokuba kungakubiza njani ukukholelwa ukuba asiyonyani, kwaye umahluko wamaxabiso unomoni omnye kuphela: eUnited States amaxabiso awanayo irhafu.
Masiyibonise ngomzekelo osebenzayo. Siza kuthenga i-6GB iPhone 64 Plus kwi-intanethi ye-Apple Store, kwaye siya kubona ukuba inexabiso le-899 yee-euro. Kodwa masifunde umbhalo ocacileyo: «Ibandakanya ixabiso le-VAT malunga. €157». Oko kukuthi, iirhafu zaseSpain (21%) sele zibandakanyiwe kwixabiso.
Ngoku masithathe imodeli efanayo kodwa kwiVenkile yaseMelika, kwaye sibone ixabiso layo: $849. Ngoku lixesha Sonke sinomsindo kwaye sityhola i-Apple ngokuxhamla kubathengi bayo bangaphandle kuba ayinakuba kubiza kancinci eUnited States apho idola inexabiso eliphantsi kune-euro. Kodwa masilinde kancinci kwaye siqhubele phambili kwinkqubo yokuthenga.
Kwisinyathelo ngaphambi kokuhlawula imveliso, kuya kufuneka sibale iirhafu, eziza kongezwa kwixabiso lokugqibela. Ewe, eUnited States Apple Store amaxabiso aphambi kweerhafu, ukusukela Ilizwe ngalinye kunye nesixeko esikwilizwe laseMntla Melika sinerhafu yaso yendawo ezisebenza kwiimveliso, ngoko ke kufuneka zibalwe ngokuxhomekeke kwindawo ohlala kuyo. Kumzekelo wethu ndifake ikhowudi ye-zip yeSan Francisco kwaye iqikelela i-$ 76,41 kwiirhafu, ngaphantsi kwesiqingatha semali ehlawulwayo eSpain. Oko siye sakwazi ukuvavanya nge-iPhone kwenzeka kwimveliso nganye nganye ye-Apple, kwaye unokuzibonela ngokwakho.
