Apples Ipad Mini
Nov 7th, 2012 by anthonytse
With the iPad mini release recently, one would ask how this 8inch iPad mini will compete in the 7inch tablet market. The new iPad mini costs more then a consumer is willing to pay, “they would pay $242 for a 7-inch iPad and $268 for an 8-inch iPad.”, for this premium price against the competition, will this affect the sales of the original iPad? The iPad accounts for ” 26% of Apple’s fiscal third-quarter revenue”, this can affect consumers into buying the cheaper, smaller alternative to the iPad, lowing their sales but truly with all the competition in the tablet market for sub 7inch, it is hard to say if apples newest addition will be able to compete against cheap alternatives. Instead i believe that it will offset the sales of the larger iPad into the iPad mini, as it is essentially a smaller alternative for an apple device.
