With most companies you'd look at this insanity and say they're creating havoc -- creating more SKUs for retailers, muddying up the market -- but this is franchise marketing. Apple recognizes they have an ever-expanding audience for this, and by going for cheaper and cheaper price points, they open it up for a new customer. I don't know anyone that doesn't have one [or] that doesn't want one. |
