Apple Inc on March 25 lunched its newer version of iPad across 25 countries. Eager fans arrived in their droves and queued for hours through the sun. And the first lucky few have emerged from high-street stores clutching their prized versions of enormously successful iPad 2.
But with six different models, it can be hard to keep track of what's available with the iPad 2 and what it costs around the world. To solve this problem, iPadfanzz gives you a comparative analysis of prices of iPad across various countries.
But first doing a comparative analyst let’s take a look at the prices of the six versions of the iPad 2 in the US. They are $499, $599, $699 (Wi-Fi Only) and $629, $729, $829 (3G version). In the US, the $499 iPad with tax has a maximum price of $567 and an average price of $547.
Not surprisingly, it is cheaper in Britain than in continental Europe, selling for 399 pounds ($642). Throughout Europe, the iPad 2 costs 479 euros, or $678 in most countries. It's slightly more expensive in France, where it costs at 489 euros, while residents of Luxembourg get a discount with 455 euros.
While the 16GB entry-level iPad 2 costs $499 in the US, that translates to $702 in Denmark.
Apple estimates to sell more than 40 million iPads this year.
