BI writes: There have been a bunch of theories about why
Apple decided to put a $329 price tag on the iPad Mini when well-reviewed
competitive tablets from Amazon and Google are priced at $199.
The theories include: 1. Because Apple can charge this
much--its fans are either so brainwashed or so locked-in to Apple's ecosystem
that they'll pay anything 2. Because Apple wants to protect its extraordinarily
high profit margin 3. Because Apple's "mini" is better than the
Google and Amazon tablets
All of those theories probably factored into the decision. And
now there's a new report out of Asia that adds a fourth theory, one that also
makes sense: Apple's iPad mini
production, at least for the time-being, is supply-constrained.
According to Siu Han and Alex Wolfgram at DigiTimes, Apple
can't get enough of the screens for the new iPad mini, and the ones it can get
are expensive.....
