Why the $130 price gap between non-3G & 3G version ? : This, I neglected to mention in the latest podcast as it went in the Bermuda Triangle called the “back of my mind” & also in my previous article. I’m trying to work out how a $10-$20 cost 3G chip can somehow lead to a approx 550%+ margin based on extra $130 on retail price. Are the Wi-Fi only iPads being cross-subsidised to a degree by the Wi-Fi+3G models in order to maintain overall projected gross profit margins for this product ?
Would like to know indeed.
