Apple iPad Local Official Prices Released; Entry Level iPad Will Cost You PhP 23,990

Apple will launch the iPad officially this December 17th. Until then, I don’t think you should purchase iPads locally from third-party sellers, as you might be surprised how low the official price will be, compared to the grey market. The entry level iPad starts at PhP 23,999 for the 16 GB WiFi (no 3G) model.

WiFi only models

• 16 GB: PhP 23,990
• 32 GB: PhP 28,990
• 64 GB: PhP 33,990

WiFi + 3G models

• 16 GB: PhP 30,990
• 32 GB: PhP 32,990
• 64 GB: PhP 40,990

From what I’ve read, it also seems the Ateneo Apple store will be selling iPads at discounted price to students, staff and alumni, so expect a discount of about 5 to 10 percent or so.
