Today we have received news on the iPad pricing and more ahead of its pre-order on Monday. Here are the main facts that we know so far:
- iPad will be sold at all UK retail Apple stores, Authorised resellers and online
- Launch date will be Friday 28th May in the UK and some areas of Europe
- Orange have released pricey iPad 3G tariffs
Apple iPad will be launched May 28th
First of all, the price!
- £429, £499, £599 (inc. VAT) for the 16GB, 32GB and 64GB Wi-Fi iPad
- £529, £599, £699 (inc. VAT) for 16GB, 32GB and 64GB Wi-Fi + 3G iPad
The price comes as no surprise as we reported earlier in April these were our approximations, it includes the Apple UK premium that we face for most of their technologies however I think overall the prices are reasonable and not as bad as they could have been. Orange have released their prices which range from PAYG per MB to £7.50 a week. There is also a £15 and £25 a month plan which will offer 3GB and 10GB respectively. Vodafone and O2 will provide further support however they are yet to release their monthly tariffs however based on their iPhone tariffs they shall probably not be too different. We will report more details as we receive them.
Expensive? Slightly. Worth it? Probably. Nevertheless, see you in line
