As part of today’s earnings calls, Apple execs Peter Oppenheimer and Tim Cook gave “some color” on their future thinking. Some notable hints:
(From Macworld’s transcripts):
To me at least, this seems to indicate that Apple will offer a lower price of entry on iPads. If I had to guess, I’d say Apple is going to do what they do on iPhones and keep a previous version around after the iPad 2 is released in the coming months. Perhaps the current iPad 16GB Wifi drops to $399?
On MacBook Airs, Oppenheimer said:
At the MacBook Air introduction, Jobs said something to the tune of, “We believe the Air is the future of our Notebook lineup”.
It may just be my personal desire for a 15-inch 1080P MacBook Air, but as a starting block says to me that larger Airs are on the way.
