I know it's Apple and they like the high Margins, but it's to the point where they could have 32GB as the standard size, lose a few dollars and keep people that much happier. I think the new direction of Apple is becoming a little bit more competitive and less "Oh we're Apple we don't have to have sales". Look at the new iPod touch coming out at a lower price point, the iPad mini price drops, iPhone 5's are actually on sale way before their replacements come out. I think they are becoming more aware of their surroundings and wanting to be a little bit more competitive.
"lose a few dollars" to keep people happier? That is just not apple at all, imo.
They love making high margin and thats what they will not change. Lower price ipod touch is still deem very overpriced for the lack of rear camera and the plasticky volume/power button. usd 229 is a crime.
Ipad mini price drop because people will soon realize apple compromised a lot on the material, thinner glass/wifi issue. Iphone 5 is still making great margin because it looks as if it is made cheaper than previous gen. Overall, apple devices gone cheaper (little) because there is no more oweee and wowww anymore since Jobs gone. It just smaller ipad/ bigger iphone all that they have. I, too, think that Ipad should start at 32GB because no one will just use their tablets to not play games, everybody play games otherwise it would just be another Netbook. 16GB is too small. But apple will never price 32gb same as 16GB, it would just go same or more expensive. Tim cook era products is lower quality/ more expensive.
