> How does AI explain
reply 12 reasons why the iPad Mini is $250 more expensive than iPad 11-inch:
1) ...The iPad mini is not a mini version of the base model iPad. It's more or less a scaled down iPad Air.
replySure, but that tells you that the upgraded specs and pricing is a conscious decision made by Apple, not something forced by AI. Making an entry-level small screen equivalent of the 11-inch iPad is always an option. They’re choosing not to take it.
replyMemory and storage is expensive as hell, so they're gonna ration it for their more expensive devices.
replySame reason this year, for the first time ever, Apple announced their new Pro phones (and the ultra-expensive Duo) but no base-model iPhone 18. They're paying more for memory so they're gonna use it on the devices where they make more on a sale.
When did Apple last refresh that? (not a rhetorical question sorry!)
replyIt got a price bump 3 months ago.
