"Apple (AAPL) ran out of 16GB iPads first, then 32BG models..." could have been a factor.
- TillE 16y agoMakes sense. Those flash upgrades are, what, 80% profit? Manufacturing lots of the 32GB models early on would probably be a good decision.

- aaronbrethorst 16y agoI figured the white bezel would be distracting.
