The New iPad is expected to launch on 27 April. The next question on everyone’s lips is: What are we going to have to fork out for the delicious Retina goodness? I have some good news.

The price point for the new iPad has remained the same, level pegging with the iPad 2’s price at launch. This means we can see a 16GB Wi-Fi only model starting at R4999, with the top end 64GB Wi-Fi/4G costing you R8299. Here are the full prices for all models, straight from the supplier’s website:

Now we only have to wait and see when it will launch. Digicape has been confirmed by Core, the regional supplier, as a launch day supplier. We strongly recommend you roll with these guys for extra special attention, especially if you mention 2oceansvibe. Best get your blanket and camping chair ready.
