iPad mini cost in the production of more expensive full-sized iPad

Popularity iPad mini affected the financial performance of Apple - this was not denied even by the company's management. IPad sales growth rate in real terms start crawling pace increase in revenue from the sale, and significantly. According to Tim Cook, to blame the high popularity of mini-tablets, the sales which the company has a lower rate of return.

Average selling price of the tablet Apple eventually for the year decreased by $ 101, and compact tablet for all applicants is not enough, which, by the way, the company earns less than the 10-inch iPad, so considering the promises Cupertino end deficit "Minicom" to end of the year we can talk about further reducing the rate of profit in this sector of activity.

The message in the same vein, the published version DigiTimes, which has revealed interesting information about the production cost of iPad. It is reported that currently costs the Apple iPad mini in the production of more expensive full-size plates, and sold it at a lower price. This suggests that the income in the foreseeable future, Apple will continue to decline if the sales volume will surpass iPad mini iPad.

DigiTimes suggests that in the current quarter iPad shipments could fall by 40% on a seasonal slowdown in demand. We are talking about the tablet with a screen size 9.7 inches. Sales of iPad mini only go up. Issue 10-inch panels from Sharp for the iPad will be almost completely stopped, although this is not to judge the extent of the impact of these changes on the total production. LG Display and Samsung make up for lack of displays, and Sharp, meanwhile take up training to produce displays for the iPad and iPad mini next generation.

It is noteworthy that the "cannibalization" of gadgets in general, Tim Cook called a favorable factor. The philosophy of the corporation, according to the director general, is the lack of fear of this phenomenon. Let the best Apple products compete with each other than they will be replaced by other manufacturers. iPhone takes customers from iPod. Tablet iPad rob customers at Mac. In the next three years, according to Cook, the tablet market will overtake PC market in terms of sales.

Moreover, Cook said that the PC and tablets begin to find much common ground. iPad mini for many people is the first product Apple, and it will attract an army of fans of the company's new adepts. Cannibalization, from this point of view, Apple opens to large market opportunities.

Price versions with 32 GB and 64 GB of memory is more expensive at $ 90 and $ 162, respectively.

The most expensive component is the iPad mini display production LG Display and AU Optronics $ 80, which consists of the screen, the touch panel and the protective glass. When assembling the gadget involved technology GF DITO or GF2, allowing you to make the tablet is thinner by 18% in relation to the normal iPad - 7,6 mm to 9.3 mm.

iSuppli experts say that Apple is moving away from its competitor services on the mobile market Samsung, which is suing a California corporation in April 2011. In the investigated sample iPad mini South Korean company has made only 2-core processor A5, and components such as the display, memory and flash memory to store data have been released by other companies.

Apple products have traditionally had a high margin, which allows the company to get most of the profit attributable to the mobile industry. Competitors Google and Amazon are selling compact Android-tablets at a price close to the cost, hoping to profit from the sale of digital content from their online stores.

Earlier, analysts found that profits from each sold Apple iPad mini is from 35% to 58%, which is significantly lower than the iPhone and iPod touch.

Analysts called the cost too high for iPad mini

iPad Mini - a nice gadget, but unnecessarily expensive, say Western experts. An indirect confirmation of the device is inflated prices decline by almost 4% California company share price immediately after the presentation.

According to analysts, if Apple was going to expose the iPad mini as a competitor to the 7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab or Google Nexus 7, then it is not work, because the iPad mini is almost half as much them, but to create some noise for selling full-size iPad the company managed.

Were surprised pricing strategy Apple. Most of them are expected to see a younger version of iPad mini for $ 250, but the price was announced at $ 329. Now Amazon Kindle Fire tablet sells for $ 159 in the U.S., and Google Nexus sells 7 to $ 199. Both models are based on Android and have a 7-inch screen.

"iPad mini, is probably a good product, but it is 70 pounds more than the Nexus 7 and 110 pounds - the Amazon Kindle Fire. Not sure what the difference is justified "- says journalist CNET.

In Gizmodo even called iPad mini "crazy expensive." Yes, it is lighter and thinner than its competitors, also has a larger screen. This difference, in their opinion, is not as significant, but on the side of the same Nexus 7 - display with a higher resolution and low price. Besides, there are rumors that the tablet from Google will get cheaper and support for 3G.

In Cupertino claim to rely on the quality of production, and the proprietary aluminum casing, while most competitors have plastic shell. Apple chief designer Jonathan said that housing iPad mini was made with "precision diamond" and its margin almost inseparable from the beginning of the screen, which makes the device monolithic.

Meanwhile, Gartner analyst Carolina said that Apple now commands a parade of tablets, so it can afford to charge high prices for their products.

"The original iPad virtually created the market, and the 7-inch tablet will be later, as a product of the budget category for users with low payment capacity. Apple, even releasing a response to such value products, has never dropped to the bottom of the price, ".

Answering the question of whether the price iPad mini push buyers for whom it is an important factor in selecting a device, a top manager Phil Schiller, Apple announced that users will perceive the "apple" mini-tablet as a premium product, which is worth paying for.
