I don't think that's true anymore. The iPhone is often heavily subsidized by carriers to the point of being cheaper than other smartphones -- in Japan, for example, it costs zero yen and its data plan is further subsidized to be the cheapest in the country. Also, aren't most of this year's hyped tablets (whether Android ones, or webOS, or BlackBerry) more expensive than the iPad?
- talmand 15y agoTo be fair, just because something costs more doesn't necessarily make it the high end of that product niche. Design and build quality has to be factored in as well.
- aphexairlines 15y agoSorry if I misinterpreted, but I think he was implying that the iPhone and iPad are more expensive when he says the users are "willing to pay more money for a better experience."
