Frankly this was bound to happen, if you ask for tax clarification their
default position is to "tax it."
What was happening was that Apple were taking the hit, if a directive is
issued then they will, as a matter of course stop.
It is a pity that this didn't run for a while longer and then there could
have been a more sensible discussion between Apple and the inspectorate.
I warn you for future reference never ask for clarity VAT is hard to
circumvent.

No Apple products should be VAT exempt as they are not adapted for the
specifically disabled people. This is an issue that has been born in the
side of many for the last few weeks, HM RC have clarified the situation as
far as I understand it and therefore the matter is closed.

Hi. Yesterday I went to the Apple store and was looking at the iPad Mini.
When I was approached by the salesman! I had a conversation with him about
the VAT exemption. He then proceeded to e-mail head office and this went on
for at least half an hour because they wanted to be sure of the whole
situation. When he finally got back to me ! He told me that their range of
Mac computers such as the iMac or laptop were only part of this VAT
Exemption and Tablets weren't. Anyway I purchased the iPad Mini but I wasn't
totally satisfied with their explaination because both range of products had
Voiceover built into the OS. Anyway I was happy with the product and the
size is much more ideal for me. I like to watch videos on a larger screen
even if I can't describe what's going on. I just like the form factor and it
replaces my netbook.
