You're underestimating the pull Apple has on people. There are plenty who will pay an extra $120 just because it's Apple.

- phren0logy 14y agoIt could be "just because it's Apple," or it could be because they already own a lot of useful iOS software.
- engtech 14y agoFor $129 you could buy most of your frequently used apps on Android. But already being tied into iTunes is a huge momentum.
- rimantas 14y ago$129 can be a bit short for the stuff that does not exist at all.
- randomchars 14y agoWhat apps do you use on iOS that don't exist on Android? Genuinely curious.)

- jug6ernaut 14y agoTrue but i would say these people would buy want to buy an iPad anyways, i don't think this is really expanding their user base. Maybe a little but not near as much a they could have with a lower price point that actually competes on price rather than just going of "we are apple" reasoning. People will buy it, but its not the homerun they were setup for, making it to 2nd base. Game is still on.
- baddox 14y agoWhich do you prefer: paying an extra $120 just because it's Apple, or buying a Nexus 7 just because it's cheaper?
- garyrichardson 14y agoI'll pay the extra $120 so I can take it out of the box and log into my icloud account and have everything sync onto it. Well, that's assuming I needed/wanted a smaller ipad.
- randomchars 14y agoFunnily enough that's why I love android. I take it out of the box and log into my Google account and have everything sync onto it. (Well I'd actually root it, than install a custom rom but still.)
