- _ph_ 6y agoThe cheapest air is already cheaper than some higher-spec iPhones. But it will be interesting, whether they bring cellular connectivity to their laptops with Apple Silicon or whether that stays exclusive to iPhone and iPad.
- davidodio 6y agoBottom of the line laptop cheaper than top of the line phone isn’t too hard to believe... it’s still more than double the price of their cheapest phone
- ksec 6y agoThat is due to how 4G/5G tech structure their patents cost which is cheaper for non-smartphone devices. You will be adding at least $200+ to Apple's MSRP for Modem and Patents on Smartphone alone. The 256GB iPad Air is $649, the High Memory Model are the high margin products. And that is already cheaper iPhone. As a matter of fact I am surprised how everyone think $799 is a bargain or great pricing. Swapping the cost of camera, gyroscope, Touch Screen, to Track Pad and A14X. I am expecting it more to be $699. With an 16GB RAM, 512GB version for $899. With a future 14" Model being $100 more. Edit: Actually thinking about it may be that is why the 12" starts at $799, it will lower the price to $699 a year later to make way for $14".
