It usually takes some time for Apple to roll out their product launches all over the world, and India is always one of the last to receive the Cupertino-based company’s latest products. This had led to fans sourcing the latest iDevices from their friends or relatives abroad, but hopefully they won’t have to do that anymore for the latest iPad models.
Come November 29, Apple will be launching the iPad Air 2 and the iPad Mini 3 in India. The two models are already up for preorder at online retailers like Flipkart and Infibeam.
Prices for the iPad Air 2 starts at Rs 35,900 for the 16GB Wi-Fi model, Rs 42,900 for the 64GB Wi-Fi model, and Rs 49,900 for the 128GB Wi-Fi model. The Wi-Fi + Cellular models, on the other hand, are priced at Rs 45,900 for the 16GB, Rs 52,900 for the 64GB variant, and going all the way upto Rs 59,900 for the 128GB variant. The iPad Air 2 features a 9.7-inch (2048×1536 pixels) Retina display with a pixel density of 264ppi and anti-reflective coating. It is powered by an A8X processor paired with 2GB of RAM, and includes an 8-megapixel iSight camera, 1.2-megapixel FaceTime camera, connectivity options like Wi-Fi 802.11ac and support for up to up to 20 LTE bands, and TouchID sensor.
On the other hand, the iPad Mini 3 will start from Rs 28,900 for the 16GB Wi-Fi variant, moving up to Rs 35,900 for the 64GB variant and Rs 42,900 for the 128GB variant. The Wi-Fi + Cellular models are priced at Rs 38,900 for the 16GB variant, 45,900 for the 64GB variant, and Rs 52,900 for the 128GB variant. This slightly smaller tablet features a 7.9-inch (2048×1536 pixels) display, and is powered by the same internals as the iPad Air 2, a 64-bit A7 dual-core processor with M7 coprocessor and 1GB of RAM. It also includes a 5-megapixel rear camera, 1.2-megapixel front camera, a battery that is good enough to last 10 hours, and a TouchID sensor.
