In order to increase demand and increase profits, iPad producers
must lower their prices.More variety
(such as Blackberry Playbook, HP Touchpad, Dell Streak 7 and Samsung Galaxy Tab)
leads to more choices.
Consumers can now choose their product according to their taste and preference.
Consumers will turn to cheaper substitutes that satisfy same wants.

The demand for iPads is very responsive to the change in the price of the apps and accessories.
Consumers need to purchase apps
through the Apps Store to be installed
to their iPads.
Accessories (such as the iPad smart cover and the Apple wireless keyboard)
are also complements to the iPad.
A fall in the price of the apps will lead to more quantity demanded, hence causing an increase in the
demand for iPads since they need to be used jointly.

Apple also includes free shipping and free iPad engraving for consumers who order iPad from the Apple Online Store. + A limited hardware
warranty is also available with every purchase of the iPad.
More consumers will be attracted,
increasing the demand of iPads in
the market.
