In response to early criticisms of the iPad mini’s $329 starting price tag, Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller told Reuters that consumers will see the iPad mini as a premium product worthy of its price when compared to similar $199 products like Google’s Nexus 7 and Amazon’s Kindle Fire HD.
“The iPad is far and away the most successful product in its category.
The most affordable product we’ve made so far was $399 and people were choosing that over those devices,” Schiller said.
