South African tech inflation: 2015 vs 2016 prices

The latest figures from Statistics South Africa show that the country’s inflation rate is between 6% and 7%, but the price of tech products has increased far more than that.

The only reason the Canon 70D went down is that it's been replaced with the 80D. You can't compare like that.... The new model price should be compared....

Useless.

There was no 12.9" iPad Pro in July 2015. It only launched Nov 2015 onwards.

Thanks for the feedback - camera taken out of the table and the average updated.

I think camera gear has been hit the hardest... Some lenses that could be had for 9 or 10k now cost around 16k
