Yesterday Apple reseller Digicape unexpectedly announced that they will be dropping the prices of all first generation iPads by as much as R600 for the 3G versions, now Core Group, official Apple distributor in South Africa has also announced that they are dropping the prices of all first generation iPads.
The reduction in iPad prices from Core Group will mean that all retailers selling the first generation iPads, including iStores and Deon Wired, will likely also drop their prices like Digicape did yesterday, and this just makes one wonder even more whether or not we will see the iPad 2 in South Africa sooner than we think.
When the iPad 2 was launched last week I predicted how much your second hand, first generation iPad, will be worth and with these new price reductions my prediction is starting to become true.
The new iPad prices announced by Core Group seem to be in line with that what Digicape released yesterday.

| 32GB WiFi | R5399 | R4899 |
| 64GB WiFi | R6399 | R5899 |
| 16GB WiFi+3G | R5599 | R4999 |
| 32GB WiFi+3G | R6599 | R5999 |
| 64GB WiFi+3G | R7599 | R6999 |
