The iPad Is Not Expensive—for An Apple Product, Anyway

The iPad is not expensive. In fact, compared to other products through Apple’s history, it’s very cheap. It’s not opinion. It’s fact, as you can see in this comparative graphic, covering every major Apple device launch since the Apple I.

In fact, when you adjust the prices to 2010 dollars, the iPad is the second-cheapest major device ever sold by Apple. And when I say major I mean a device that was supposed to change the industry or create a new category, like the Apple II, the Mac, the PowerBook 100, the Newton Message Pad, the iPhone, or the iPod, the only device cheaper than the iPad.
