Drastic price increase of Apple Store

With the launch of iPod Shuffle 3g(3rd Gen), a series of price revisions were taken place in Apple Stores all over the world.

Due to currency fluctuation, some products in Apple Store of various countries skyrocketed. Taiwanese users are already complaining about the price increase of iPod Nano. However, there are more extreme cases in South Korea, which our old post just covered a few days ago.

One week ago, iPod Touch 8G was 280,000 KRW (Korean Won) in South Korea. Now it is 36% more expensive: 379,000 won in official store.

Yes, this sounds a lot, but today's 379,000 KRW is more or less the 280,000 KRW one year ago.
