Indeed, it's pure logic. As long as, from Apple's perspective, enough people buy their iPads to the offered prices, as long as Apple would be stupid (regarding profit maximization) not to take that money.
Unfortunately for Apple's bosses and its investors, that time is over. Their target audience is rapidly declining along with the elimination of the "middle class". As is usually the case in such cases, at first prices rise in an attempt to squeeze the same profit from more prosperous buyers, but then the line is simply curtailed.
