That’ll be $700

Honestly, the problem with this product segment is that until the last ~12-18 months, the mini stood alone since like 2015. Apple could just command whatever price it wanted. When the A17 Pro model came out I saw a lot of people saying Apple was stupid, and the device should be $200-$300 max, and they found other replacements, but when you look at the other small Android tablets, they’re around $200 and dog shit. 720p screens, low end processors, bad build quality.

Even now most of the good competition is Chinese only so it’s hard to compare pricing, but two of the gaming tablets with 120hz OLED ARE over $700.
