Do you know the IHS? No? Okay, IHS was the company responsible for doing an "autopsy" on the iPad Mini and telling us how much it costs Apple to make this device. According to them to produce each iPad Mini of 16 GB (Wi-Fi only) Apple spends 188 dollars (more or less 146 euros) on all components of the device.
Only the screen and the materials attached to it, cost about 80 dollars (almost 45% of the total cost of the Mini). The autopsy also features the main suppliers of Mini parts, where we find companies such as LG, AU Optronics and even your love and friend Samsung.
The price of the iPad Mini in the US is 329 dollars and in Europe it is 339 euros. Of course we can not look at the price difference coldly. Of course there will be other values that IHS did not consider, such as manufacturing price, operating system included, working hours of the Apple group to develop Mini, etc.
But even so the difference is still twice the price ... ufff
