Costs of iPad 2 3G have been found to be a little more than half of their selling prices, according to an analysis by a U.S. market research firm on the electronics industry.

iSuppli revealed that iPad 2 3G equipped with Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) has about 370,000 won ($326.60) worth of parts while the version with the code division multiple access (CDMA) is slightly cheaper at 367,000 won ($323.35).
The figures are a little more than the selling prices which start at 713,000 won ($629).

It also said that the most expensive single component in the iPad 2 is the touch screen display. With an estimated cost of 144,000 won ($127), the display makes up more than a third of the total cost Apple has to pay to build each tablet.

The iPad 2 has been available since March 11 at Apple retail stores as well as its website in the U.S. The iPad will be released internationally in 25 other countries on March 25.


애플 아이패드2 부품들 보니 원가는 절반도 안되네

애플 아이패드2를 분해한 결과 부품 원가는 323달러로선으로 판매가 절반 정도인 것으로 확인됐다.

제품을 분해해서 부품 제조사와 가격대를 공개하는 것으로 유명한 iSuppli가 아이패드2를 분해했고 부품들을 공개하고 나섰다.

iSuppli 에서는 총 구매가격이 $629부터 시작 하는거에 비해 아이패드2 3G 버전(32GB) 중 GSM 모델 부품 비용을 326.6달러, CDMA 버전은 323.25달러로 추정했다. 기존 아이패드 3G 버전의 경우 부품 원가는 320달러로 아이패드2는 제조원가가 약간 높아졌다. 아이패드2 제조원가와 함께 iSuppli에서는 부품 공급처도 함께 제공했는데, 기존 아이패드와 거의 달라지지 않았다.

또 한, CDMA용 아이폰4가 Qualcomm의 통신용 칩을 탑재한 만큼 아이패드2는 모두 이를 채용했을 것이라는 예측과 달리 CDMA버전과 GSM 버전이 서로 다른 칩셋을 탑재한 것으로 밝혀졌다. GSM버전 아이패드2는 인텔 칩셋을 탑재했으며, 이는 아이폰4 GSM 버전과 같은 칩셋이다.

아이패드2에서 가장 비싼 부품은 역시 디스플레이로 127달러선으로 아이패드의 95달러짜리 디스플레이보다 고가의 제품이 사용됐다.

금요일부터 미국에서 판메를 시작한 아이패드는 오는 25일 25개국에서도 판매를 시작할 것이라고 애플사는 말했다.
