Not really. It's not like iPads are 10x the price of a cheap Android device. They're like 2x. Factor in time and the maths makes even more sense.

I’m seeing about 3-4:1 comparing reconditioned iPads to cheap-but-not-reconditioned new Android tablets, 10:1 is closer than 2:1 for new-to-new.

outside of usa and Europe, apple tax is close to 6-10:1 instead of 3-4:1
