It seems like in spite of all the name calling of the Apple iPad that we all love and hate, almost everyone was surprised by how affordable it actually is with a starting price of $499, well, you’re be more surprised to find out that it is estimated to cost only $229 to make. The most expensive iPad on the other hand, is estimated to cost about $346.15 and will retail for $829. According to iSuppli’s estimation, the most expensive part of the iPad is its touchscreen costing at about $80 followed by the flash storage for $29.5, battery for $17 and the A4 processor for $17 as well. It’s good to hear that Apple will be earning quite a margin from the iPad, this means that there will be a greater opportunity for them to lower the price as rumored.
