European price is displayed including VAT. In the US you have to add sales tax that varies depending on your state.

Not sure it can explain everything. 729ā¬ is about $800 and if it includes a 20% VAT (highest in France that has highest taxes in the world) then it'd be about $666. Still see a paradox in the end - margin at Apple is crazy so if they did not think they could sell massively at this price in Europe they'd at least lower a little bit the price.

The Mac mini in France is starting at 699ā¬ that includes 118ā¬ of VAT and other -> 581ā¬ for Apple (excluding import taxes)
