Most of the iPhone's I deal
With every day are not bought on subsidized contract anymore. The trend is moving away from that and while that may have been the case. You'll find that the telecom industry is moving away from hiding te cost of the cell phone in plan. My carrier at least is pushing lease and installment options as the major source of new iPhones and Galaxy device activations.

My point is most users buy an iPhone on contract , cheap . But an iPad is most often bought outright.

I think so. But the cost in those cases would be offset by the higher cost of the cellular plan. Bare naked an iPhone is more expensive than an iPad.

iPads cost more? A 128gb iPhone 6 is $849.99 and the iPad air2 128gb is $829. 

How is 829 more than 849?

I agree Pat. The issue is saturation, and it's more costly to buy an iPad than a phone.

I use my own iPad more every day so I disagree with the author.  I'm one of those nuts that want the latest offering so I pass each previous model down to my daughter who REALLY enjoys that arrangement!  Here are Tim Cook's comments from today's earnings call:

• Cook: iPad has a very, very bright future
• Cook: I think the partnership with IBM is profound. We are going to change how people work.
• Cook: iPad upgrade cycle is longer than an iPhone. Perhaps in between and iPhone and a Mac. Still too early to say for sure.
• Cook: I believe that over the long arc of time, iPad is a very strong market
• Cook: iPad customer sat is off the charts. 100% in some surveys. Unheard of.
• Cook: 1st time iPad purchaser rates are very high; so no saturated market
• Cook: In the short run, I don't think you're going to see a miraculous change YOY
• Cook: I am very optimistic and bullish on iPad over the long run
