Will report back if AirNZ does decide to ship it. They do have obligation to fulfill the order.

... My guess is that they'll just suck it up and supply them at the old price - I doubt there will be many orders to fulfill. I presume there is no one working there over the weekend, and the prices will be changed on Monday when someone realises there's an issue!

Prices will change on Monday when they realise they suddenly have an influx of orders for Apple devices (from GZ). 🤣 This thread started on Friday morning, not really enough time for big corporation communications to filter through all the levels.

Please keep this GZ community vibrant by contributing in a constructive & respectful manner.

Historically, manufacturers have a sale to incentivise purchases. Apple’s just hit on the opposite strategy.

What do you expect them to do? Their costs have increased significantly so the price consumers pays goes up in turn. This isn’t some arbitrary profit grab, it’s maintainence of existing margin.

I wonder how long it will take for Marketplace and Trademe to be flooded with 4yr old Apple TV 4K 3rd gens asking for more than people paid for them?

Not long. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/electronics-photography/media-streaming/apple-tv/listing/6008113193

Asking $400 for something that was $279 a couple of days ago.

After the price increase is before the price increase. 😉

Qui nihil scit, omnia credere debet. - He who knows nothing must believe everything.
Firewalls do NOT stop dragons. Really not!
I avoid Big Tech. They try hard to dictate technology and „culture“ across borders.
In effect we have everything to hide from someone, and no idea who „someone“ is.
