Cost of iPad Production in the US $1140

Sometimes this is something to be said for overseas manufacturing. The reality breaks down to a Catch 22 situation: Production costs are too high in the US to sustain sales so the US loses manufacturing jobs. If everything is made overseas, the product can be sold at a much lower price, creating sales, distribution and marketing jobs here. Food for thought.

“Apple is not in the business of self-immolation, and given their relatively substantial pricing power, they could just make the iPad 2 more expensive”
