Its $299/£150 in the US (which doesn't include sales tax...something that gets added onto the price in the States)
Its £170 in the UK (not including sales tax)
So thats £20 more expensive in real terms, which can be put down to it being more expensive to do business here than it is in the US.
So VAT is to blame, not Apple.
