9.7-inch iPad Pro to start at $599.
Mark Gurman, 9to5mac:
With the iPad Pro name and features, the new 9.7-inch iPad will be Apple’s first to come with a starting price higher than $499. The smaller iPad Pro will start at $599 and include 32 GB of storage, according to sources.
Interesting move, one that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. iPad Pro 12.9 isn’t selling as well as they hoped from what I hear, and pushing their base-line tablet’s price to $599 may only worsen the issue.
The $599 base configuration is for a WiFi-only model, while higher-priced versions with 128 GB of storage and the ability to connect to LTE cellular networks will also be offered. Apple will announce the new iPad at its event on Monday, March 21st.
Probably same $150 jump as iPad Pro 12.9 here.
