South African online Apple retailer DigiCape has reduces the prices of their first generation iPads by as much as R600 for the WiFi+3G version.
DigiCape has just announced on Twitter that they have slashed the prices of all their first generation iPad’s by R500 for the WiFi only version and R600 for the WiFi+3G version of the iPad 1.
The price reduction comes just days after Apple announced the iPad 2, the latest generation iPad with a dual core CPU, 9 times faster graphics and front and rear facing cameras.
Here are the latest DigiCape iPad Prices:
| iPad Model | Old Price | New Price |
|---|---|---|
| 16GB WiFi | R4399 | R3899 |
| 32GB WiFi | R5399 | R4899 |
| 64GB WiFi | R6399 | R5899 |
| 16GB WiFi+3G | R5599 | R4999 |
| 32GB WiFi+3G | R6599 | R5999 |
| 64GB WiFi+3G | R7599 | R6999 |
The prices are still a bit on the expensive side, but it does make it more affordable for someone to own a tablet, could this sudden drop in price mean the iPad 2 is on its way to South Africa?
I doubt that this means that the iPad 2 is on its way i think its a way to get rid of stock as the iPad is less appealing in the wake of the iPad 2′s release…
