Low Touchscreen Yields Supposedly Contributing to Higher iPad Mini Price

Interesting. New touchscreen technology would be great to experiment with on a device like the iPad Mini.

I doubt the yield has much to do with the price. Apple would sell the iPad Mini at whatever price they think is 'fair' and still get a nice profit. Would they have went lowered the price if they had a higher quantity of touchscreen panels? Doubt it.

What do you mean?

Put it into a smaller screen. It would cost more to try out new technology an iPad 9.7".

Cool.
