Sure, I can see Apple trying to set a price high enough to account for this, so they don't have to change it every other day. But boy did Apple (and others) see this situation coming since five years ago (when I started following this). Electronics (and related products) have always been more expensive here than in the US, even years ago, even accounting for VAT and other taxes.
Hell, when I was in college, (~2010, in France), I used to be really into photography. Bought a tripod and head. Italian brand, made in Italy. It was cheaper for me to order it from B&H in NY, pay for conversion charges, shipping, import duties, VAT, etc on top of the shipping, than it was to buy it local. Both Italy and France had the Euro at the time.
