About that “Apple Could Drop iPad Price” Story
February 8, 2010 · Print This Article
The Wall Street Journal today posted a comment from an analyst that Apple will remain “nimble” on iPad pricing and could lower it whether demand is less than expected.
Um. Yeah. Okay. Did anyone, particularly anyone who ever took Intro to Business 101, ever think anything different? Wait… Apple does.
They launched the iPhone 2G at a premium soon after cut the price, and next arranged carrier subsidies to further cut the end-user price to really drive demand. They don’t drop price to help low-performing products. They drop price to send good performers into the stratosphere. (And 9to5mac
has already heard rumors of carrier-subsidized iPad’s in Europe — can we imagine $50 or $100).Put the iPhone price drop curve next to the Apple TV price drop curve whether you need any further convincing.
