Yeah quite a few items, when the exchange gate is good, apple tend to sell the same price $199 / £199 so it’s a no brainer.

Yes - when it was c$2 to the £ but not recently as when you have paid the duty tax when returning to UK it could work out more expensive than buying here (as it did for a friend buying his Apple Watch in LA last month when customs worked out the tax he could have got much cheaper on Regent Street)

As above, not recently as it doesn't work out much cheaper now. Same is true for the small things too. I only buy things that I can't get something suitable here.

I noticed on my last trip prices for everything (food, drink and clothes) were much more that they used to be even with exchange rate - I actually bought nothing at all to bring back, I first for me but I can get what I want in UK and cheaper

As others have said - when the exchange rate was good, I’ve bought laptops. Nothing ‘big’ in recent years though

Both my kids bought I pads years ago, son bought a expensive phone in Best Buy for about £500. It was a open box and it would of cost £800 in the uk, it lasted him a long time. We haven’t been since 2018 so not in a while.

Like others have said, when the exchange rate was good we’ve bought Tiffany jewellery, 3 Apple watches, Timberland boots, Michael Koors bags as well as the usual trainers, clothes etc.
