Apple's pricing strategy for iPads and iPhones

02/14/2011

Apple's pricing strategy for the iPad at $499 helps it maintain a grip on this rapidly growing market, making it difficult for competitors. Either competitors such as Amazon price lower to gain market share and have low margins or barely profitable product as with the Kindle at $199, or price relatively higher and gain only modest market share.

Support LyrArc

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
