I'm used to paying more for Apple devices. I don't like it, but there you go. A 20% premium over a comparable competitor device is typical. A 50% premium is painful.
But a 1,200% premium?!?
ASUS Nexus 7-Inch 32 GB Tablet (NEXUS7 ASUS-1B32-4G) 2012 Model: Electronics
iPad Air 2 - Buy iPad Air 2 - Apple Store (U.S.)
$9 vs. $130 for cellular connectivity? Yeah, the iPad is LTE and the ASUS is "4G", but that's one hell of a price premium.
How long does Apple think they can keep this premium? I'd assumed a lot of it was IP licensing, but clearly not...

As long as they keep making better software and hardware and have a better brand name and build quality, they'll keep charging that premium.
It's obvious why that 'Android' tablet is so much cheaper.
