"Just how much of a profit should be revealed when the teardowns start coming next week"
Does that contain diamond chips?
:P

is brand recognition.. is what the Apple logo represents to people that is not included on those comparison

To some people, that logo is all that matters. Slap it on a turd, record sales.
You know which people, don't you?

the apple logo represents a whole new generation of overpriced products, stolen designs and false innovation.

You make a big mistake Mr. Cook, if you think you can convince us that iPad is better because of bigger screen than nexus 7 you are wrong. We don't wanna low resolution display.
you also an Apple user and you must know by now that we want quality (brightness) not quantity (big-ness)

Keep in mind that the whole point of the resolution being as it is is to avoid compatibility troubles with tablet apps in the App Store. Everything will automatically work, because this is the same resolution and same aspect ratio as the iPad 2, just on a smaller screen.

But isn't that below 200ppi is kinda awkward? It's kinda blur don't you think?

I'll have to see it in person, but I doubt most people will really notice the difference. I'm just glad to see that Apple isn't forcing devs to update all their apps for a new product.

The whole point of a 7" tablet is compact-ness (if thats even a word) and being priced low. Apple put a screen size bigger than its competitors and priced it "premium". Add to that, old hardware. You surely don't expect to be a success, right?

I like to take a guess
iPad Mini 16GB $330 - $50 profit (not bad)
iPad mini 64GB 4G $830 - $200 profit (bad)
15. BadAssAbe posted on 25 Oct 2012, 19:18 0 0
Yeah your right, i meant $630 with $200 dollor profit

A lower profit margin for apple will still be very very high for others. What's cheaper than a kidney?

When I saw the iPad mini price I thought "Wow, that actually seems reasonable".
Then I saw the specs.
Then I remembered that it's Apple so $330 is still kind of reasonable.
But that's only the 16GB WiFi version, when you go up in storage the price goes up 100$, plus another 100$ if you want cellular, that's a lot.
