No, that's what they do with features they don't offer at all, like NFC. With GPS they milk you NOW by making that model so much more expensive. It's almost as bad as charging $100 for 16GB (or about $5 worth) of memory.

I don't think the Mini is all that bad...but if you want 32GB with GPS you're spending $559...over twice as much as a Nexus with those features plus a better screen and processor. Granted, you get cellular service as well with the Mini at that price, but there will be a Nexus offering that next week and I can't imagine it coming close to approaching Apple's prices.
