Re: iPhone 5 rumors

I think Ipad mini with wifi at $299-350 is going to dominate the news next year. the lower price point will create a lot more sales and it will start to eat into Iphone and Ipad sales (i.e. you can get a cheap android with hotspot + ipad mini with wifi and viola you get both the phone and IOS on the go at much lower price than an Iphone). But if they can figure out how to maintain the profit margin somewhat they can continue to sell well and has tons of profit (but not growing)

The lower price point is already covered with the ipad2. I don't see a point going with a smaller screen but higher resolution (ipad3 mini with retina display). I think there are some that want a tablet with a smaller Formfactor but I don't think it would be mainly for pricing reason.

FWIW, we bought our second ipad2 (refurbished) for 320$ in the Apple store a few weeks ago. I don't think thatnat this pricepoint, there is any Android device out there that can beat it. These refurbished Apple devices have full warranty and are indistinguishable from new ones,unlike refurbished offers from other vendors.
