Before today, iPad mini was simply overpriced, but Apple got away with it. Starting from today, iPad mini is extremely overpriced, and my prediction is that Apple will no longer get away with it, just like they seem to have misjudged the iPhone 5C pricing. That's what changed today.

In the previous generation, Nexus 7 cost $199, and iPad mini was $329. Now the difference is $229 versus $399. The price gap has dramatically widened (why, exactly?), so that you can now almost buy two Nexus 7 tablets at the price of one iPad mini. If you believe that's sustainable for Apple, good for you. You're an optimistic guy.
