Apple has reportedly agreed to lower the price of its Wi-Fi-only 16GB iPad mini that’s usually priced at $299 in order to counter slower iPad sales this quarter. Digitimes says that the iPad maker has recently “cooperated” with U.S. retailers including Best Buy and Amazon to cut the iPad mini’s price.
Best Buy currently sells the tablet for $199.99, while a new iPad mini can be purchased for as low as $230 on Amazon right now. Even so, the iPad mini’s price is still listed at $299 on the company’s website, and there appears to be no proof the tablet will receive a matching price cut in Apple’s official store. The company has yet to slash the official price of an iPad before a next-gen model arrives.

It's crazy how a budget tablet like the Kindle Fire, Nexus 7, etc with Android cost $199, and now you can get an Apple iPad mini which is considered a luxury brand for the same price.
I think in the future Apple will have to lower the prices of their tablets, computers, and phones to the same or similar prices of a Google Android, and Windows 8 devices, so they can keep their users from switching to cheaper alternative electronic brands made by Chinese, Indians, Other American PC companies like HP and Dell and South Korean makers which installed Google Android, Windows, Linux, and Java onto their devices because people like saving money by buying affordable stuff for themselves, and others during birthdays, Christmas, Graduation, and other occassions.
For the smaller amount of people who want to buy higher priced devices, they will have to buy them from Razer, Alienware, Vertu, and Falcon PC which sells expensive computers and phones to rich people who are interested in expensive tech.
