Oh, is Qualcomm the reason why adding cellular to an iPad is so expensive? I never understood how such a relatively small feature would cost that much. The alternative is that Apple just makes more money when setting prices like that. Would be curious how much of the price difference is extra license fees for Qualcomm.
- gruez 3y agoI'm not sure why you're inclined to pin the blame on qualcomm, when the pricing is set by a company that charges $200 for 256GB of nvme storage[1]. For that price you can get a high end pcie 4.0 2TB nvme drive. [1] price difference between an mac mini 256GB vs 512GB: https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/mac-mini/apple-m2-chip-with-8-core-cpu-and-10-core-gpu-256gb https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/mac-mini/apple-m2-chip-wi...
- mensetmanusman 3y agoNo, that's apple marketing, eg. apple upselling 32 or 64 GB phones or ipads to 256 or 512 etc gives them huge margins on the SDDs they resell by a $100s. If that was its own business it would be larger than 3M.
