Consumers are paying considerably more than what it costs Apple for the added 64 GB of memory on 128 GB iPad 4 over the 64 GB model.

News flash: Apple is Apple.

Seriously?... Does this even warrant as a news.. after all this time.

I think a more appropriate title would be "Analyst: People are Overpaying Apple"

 

[bspatial]

C'mon Apple, is that the best price you can offer? It's way too cheap. My bank account is not being challenged enough. LOL!

Hey the people saying this is obvious are probably complaining that iSheep don't know what they're buying and are stupid for getting ripped off... so this article pointing it out is a good thing, not a bad thing.

Apple is overcharging for everything, and iSheep are overpaying.
If no one paid the high prices, they would be a lot lower.

 

[southernshark]

its well worth it just for the extra copies of jOBS that it will hold.

As much as I avoid buying Apple products, if other people want to spend their money on them, I'm fine with it

 

[billgatez]

Analyst spouts something that common knowledge. And gets payed to do it.

 

[nonoitall]

I think people are overpaying analysts for stating blatantly obvious facts...

(Stupid) people are overpaying for all Apple products

Non-Apple manufacturers aren't doing enough marketing to get attention.

 

[tobalaz]

Really?!
i'M shocked!

 

[hammer85]

iSheep! Now that's a nice term.

I normally don't care about Apple products, but lately I have been steering people away from them given the problems with the iPhone 5 build quality issues and the iOS6 map update.

And the ones that took my advice thanked me after trying them out in the store. This pricing is crazy tho. They would be better of putting an SD slot in, sell and overcharge for them at Apple stores to make more profit.

Just my opinion tho.

People are overpaying Apple, period.

People don't know any better. What they want it something that functions properly without choppyness, without issue and Apple provides that.

Unfortunately, at an insane stupid price. Its the most popular for a reason and as much as you try and convince yourself its simply because its pretty - its because it works and does what you want it to do without lagging behind and getting all choppy. It was Apple that introduced this whole touchscreen smooth interface "Phase" and everyone quickly followed (Took years to catch up too).

Today though, it seems Apple is more about money then product, it updates its product a tiny bit and charges a fortune for it. Its absolutely pathetic. I am switching to the Galaxy 4 when its released just so I can stop supporting Apple and once they realize that they're falling behind because of their price gouging, they'll produce products at a better more reasonable price.

Or not.

Who knows.

People are overpaying for Apple products across the board. This isn't the only piece.

$35 dollars? This analyst is being way to nice. More like not even. I highly doubt if it cost them anything much at all to add the additional space. They buy it in MASS BULK, it's practically nothing.

And so what? We all, already knew this. Thanks Captain Obvious!

 

[horaciopz]

Well, as its a fact that Appel is overpriced as hell, the actual numbers are nice too see... How ppl is getting screwed by such....... company... sad sad sad....

 

[halcyon]

Some one will buy the overpriced thing despite there being better alternatives. Ignorance.

 

[twelve25]

While I do think Apple stuff is generally a bit expensive, does anyone think it would be a good idea for a business to sell products for anywhere near what they cost to make? I would hope Apple would have at least 50% markup. News flash, companies make money buy selling things for more than they cost!

Not to mention, the top tier product always has a bit of luxury tax built in.

Seriously? ALL memory upgrades were always overpriced. You were practically paying an extra $100 for every extra 16GB of storage. Now Google jumped on that too by removing SD card slot from their Nexus devices... I don't believe their claim that "it's to remove confusion of where the data goes" one bit.
