The price of the new sixth-generation iPad didn't change in the United States compared to the previous fifth-generation model, but prices for the new tablet have been lowered in several other countries around the world.
Prior to the launch of the new iPad, rumors had suggested it could be priced as low as $259 in the United States, which did not happen, but the price has indeed dropped slightly in multiple countries.

I insist nothing. If I feel that a product is overpriced in my region/currency, I simply don't buy/recommend it. There are other big (American) tech companies that have appropriate prices in Europe, so there goes that argument.You can't have all the extra consumer protections, then also insist it should be the same price.
By the way, the 2 years of mandatory EU warranty have to be provided by the retailer, not the manufacturer.
Also, it goes to show you how overpriced iPhones are in comparison.
Still ~ 10% overpriced in €, given the current exchange rate.
