Apple finally launched the new iPad 2 in India on April 29th. The news took much of India by surprise as it had taken Apple a little over a month after iPad 2’s US launch for it to bring its latest tablet to India. This was surprising as the first generation iPad took over nine months to make it to the Indian market. All this is more than a small blow for the new Indian iPad owners, who never suspected the iPad 2 to launch so soon.
Unlike its US twin, iPad 2 in India is slightly more expensive than the model it replaces. The first generation of iPad was launched at Rs. 27,900, which later dropped to Rs. 24,500. The iPad 2 starts at Rs. 29,500 and goes all the way up to Rs. 46,900, which is quite a hefty sum to pay for a tablet. But then it’s an Apple product and the software giant is known for its premium pricing.
The following are the maximum retail prices of all the models including VAT.
16GB Wi-Fi: Rs. 29,500
32GB Wi-Fi: Rs. 34,500
64GB Wi-Fi: Rs. 39,500
16GB 3G+Wi-Fi: Rs. 36,900
32GB 3G+Wi-Fi: Rs. 41,900
