Based
on the calculation of iSuppli, Apple issued a fee of 316.05 dollars to create a
new iPad wifi 16GB models. These tablets are sold at a price of 499 dollars in
the United States so it can be calculated that the profit margin per unit by
more than 50%. Meanwhile, for the 64GB variant of LTE, was sold for 829
dollars, Apple needs to cost of manufacture for 408.70 dollars. This means that
Apple's profit margin on the tablet is greater than the first model.
The
cost of Apple's new tablet manufacturing base is higher than the cost of making
the Apple iPad 2, mainly because of the screen. However, Apple decided to sell
it at a price equal to the sale of each unit profit margin is smaller than
previous models. For example, the 16GB wifi for new iPad costs are 28% higher
than before while the 32GB model LTE 9% higher than the cost of production of
3G 32GB iPad 2.
Apple
profits swell to the upscale models because of the cost of NAND memory. The
price difference between 16GB and 32GB NAND flash is 16.8 dollars, while Apple
sells a $ 100 price difference.
Samsung
as a major competitor Apple and enemies in court, it is a major supplier of
components of the new iPad. Approximately 40% of new iPad components derived
from the Korean manufacturers including LCD screens, processors A5X, and NAND
memory. If Samsung also supplies the battery as iSuppli estimates the
percentage of components from the new iPad Samsung approaching 50% of the
entire component.
