In general, Apple doesn't do inexpensive.
To a certain extent, Apple is at a bit of a cross road. Trying to open up the China and Indian market doesn't really match their US model of high profit margin luxury goods. Steve Jobs had a definite business model that he followed and he understood that hype was a big part of that model. I don't know that Tim Cook understands that. IMPO, the biggest difference is that Jobs thought in terms of products, while Cook thinks in terms of markets. I never get the "wow, this is so cool, you are going to love it" vibe from Cook that I got from Jobs.
