iPad mini with Wi-Fi models will be available in black & slate or white & silver on Friday, November 2, for a suggested retail price of $329 (US) for the 16GB model, $429 (US) for the 32GB model and $529 (US) for the 64GB model.
iPad mini with Wi-Fi + Cellular and fourth generation iPad with Wi-Fi + Cellular will start shipping a couple of weeks after the Wi-Fi models, beginning in the US on AT&T, Sprint and Verizon. iPad mini with Wi-Fi + Cellular will be offered for a suggested retail price of $459 (US) for the 16GB model, $559 (US) for the 32GB model and $659 (US) for the 64GB model.
Apple's long-rumored smaller iPad is finally here. Pricing is higher than I think most expected. $299 seems a psychological barrier. This puts it at $170 less than a regular iPad with a Retina display and A6X CPU. Based on value, the regular iPad still seems attractive, but the lower price point will appeal to those just looking for a cheaper iPad. In the end, the mini's biggest selling point might be simply being a smaller iPad.
