New iPad Malaysia Cheapest Price - Official pricing for the new iPad (iPad 3) for Malaysia has been released today, Friday 20th April 2012, by Apple.store.com. The initial prediction via extrapolation in my recent article overstated the prices by a small margin. But that made this official price release more of a good news than a bad one.
The following is the snapshot of apple.store's iPad page for everyone's record. You can also go to their website and order online. There is an ordering lead time of 5 to 7 business days.
Mobile phone shops and retailers are selling the new iPad at averagely RM300 more than the published figures on apple.store/my. My personal observation for Kota Kinabalu prices are as follows (both black and white colours are similarly priced):
iPad / WiFi + 4G / 16GB - RM2,199.00iPad / WiFi + 4G / 32GB - RM2,499.00iPad / WiFi + 4G / 64GB - RM2,799.00
New iPad Malaysia - Note: Most outlets offer free smart cover, leather or other material of equivalent cost, and screen protector.
On the bundled pricing, you’ll get a subsidy savings of RM270 the normal price if you subscribe on 12 months contract of iPad Basic plan. The biggest subsidy obviously comes from the longest of 24 months tenure and highest plan of iPad Advance where you get to enjoy RM570 off.
