He estimated the 16GB model of iPad Air 2 would cost Apple $ 275, just a dollar more than the previous model of the same capacity. But it is in the higher capacity models where Apple gets a higher profit.
For example, Apple's model 128Gb storage Air 2 iPad costs only $ 50 more than the simplest 16GB model. But for the consumer who wants to get the biggest model of storage, 128Gb, the cost rises to $ 200, compared to the simpler model. This is where Apple gets a greater benefit, so for the apple company more interested in selling more storage devices.
The profit margin is down compared to the first generation iPad Air
Still, the movement to remove the 32GB model, leaving only the 64Gb and 128Gb has eroded a little profit margins obtained with the larger models. The 16GB model costs Apple $ 275 and sells for $ 499, for the 128Gb model, it costs Apple $ 358 and sells for $ 829.
This makes the profit margin is 45% in the simple model and 57% in the model with more storage, but when compared with the previous model, the profit margin of the simple model is the same, 45% but the best-equipped Air iPad first generation model, the profit margin of Apple was 61%.
