Apple Prices: part Deux

Apple cannot compete with Dell on every System Component because of Basic Supply and Demand and how it impacts on Volume pricing. Nor should it have too. Apple learned that hard lesson in the 80's when it ended up with warehouses of unsold inventory. I would rather have Apple sell through everything it makes than have them stuffing channels and have systems taking up dust. As Apple's share of the market grows they will be much more capable of competing on price.

The MacMini and the iPod Shuffle was a huge step in the right direction for pricing Apple products. If both of these products had flopped we would be skewering Jobs for canabilizing sales of higher margin systems.

So lets cut Jobs and the AAPL Crew some slack. You don't have to buy Apple displays if you perceive them to be to expensive.

Go AAPL !!!!!
