“16GB iPad components estimated to cost Apple $219”
With a total parts cost of $219.35, that’s well below the starting price of $499 for the 16GB iPad, which does not offer 3G connectivity. Factoring manufacturing costs add just $10 to the total cost of the low-end model, bringing it to $229.35.
As stupid as those goddamned “analyses” always are, you gotta wonder how the comments don’t end with “If the numbers were so simple then why the fuck wouldn’t every single competitor be making a tablet just as good and selling it for $250 tomorrow?”
Well, probably because it’s pretty silly of me to look for intelligence in a copied-and-pasted iSuppli report.
