They've raised the prices in line with the earlier US price hikes.
I’m being facetious regarding a “100%” rise. Ie: it’s the same cost.
Ah yes, numbers are hard, apparently, especially for tech journalists. I presume they'd have a form of words to explain it, like "it's a rise of 100%, meaning it has risen 200%" but it wouldn't be convincing. Amusingly, saying the price is up by 200% would have made a more attention-grabbing headline.
I’m pretty spazzy regarding math but I thought it was worth having a poke at for a laugh.
