The iPad mini is priced starting $329 for the 16GB Wi-Fi model and as much as $659 for the 64GB Wi-Fi + Cellular model. Pricing for the Philippines is not yet announced, though there was an alleged pricing for the country that leaked out a couple days ago.

iPad 4th generation

Goodbye the new iPad, hello iPad 4th generation. That’s right. In an unexpected move, Apple announced the 4th generation iPad which now includes the A6X processor, a FaceTime HD camera, an improved and expanded Wi-Fi and LTE networks support, and the Lightning connector. Pricing will remain the same but it remains unclear on when will it land in the Philippine shores. Apple also yanked the 3rd generation iPad on it’s online store, that means, yes, it’s now obsolete.
