Analyst: Apple Might Lower Price Of iPad

If you’re the type of person who likes a bargain, and are thinking of picking up Apple’s iPad, you might want to take note of this. According to Credit Suisse analyst Bill Shope, Apple executives have said that the pricing will be “nimble”, hinting that the pricing could change if needed. Of course, that’s not an official confirmation that there will be a price drop, but considering that Apple has lowered the asking price of the iPhone by $200 in the past after just a few months, it’s certainly a possibility. It’s worth taking note that the $499 price point of the entry-level iPad is already quite competitive, so if Apple does further lower the price, it’ll certainly have competitors worried. If you’re a fence-sitter on the whole iPad issue, would a lower price be enough to entice you to get one?
