Apple has also phased out the fourth-generation iPad from its portfolio with tonight’s iPad launch.
With this move, Apple enters the affordable tablet segment as the original iPad mini (16GB, Wi-Fi-only) now officially costs Rs 17,900. Online retailers have been selling this model at approximately Rs 16,000 in the market already. It competes against the likes of Samsung Galaxy Tab4 7.0 and Google Nexus 7 (2013).
Last year's iPad mini with Retina display, which has a 7.9-inch screen with 2048x1536p resolution, now starts at Rs 21,900 for the 16GB Wi-Fi model, down from Rs 28,900. The model has been renamed as iPad mini 2.
The original Wi-Fi-only iPad Air with 16GB storage is now available for Rs 28,900, marking a reduction of Rs 7,000 from its launch price of Rs 35,900.
Though the Apple India website has listed the 32GB variants of iPad mini 2 and iPad Air, it has not revealed the prices of these models. Similarly, it has also not announced the prices of the Wi-Fi + 3G variants of all these iPad versions.
The new iPad Air 3 (Wi-Fi-only) will cost Rs 35,900, Rs 42,900 and Rs 49,900 for the 16, 64 and 128GB variants. The cellular versions will cost Rs 45,900, Rs 52,900 and Rs 59,900 for the three storage options, respectively. It will compete against Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 and Google Nexus 9.
Apple has priced the iPad mini 3 at Rs 28,900, Rs 35,900 and Rs 42,900 for the 16, 64 and 128GB models. iPad mini 3 with Wi-Fi + Cellular models have been priced at Rs 38,900, Rs 45,900 and Rs 52,900, respectively.
