Apart from the launch day matching the Apple tradition of launching products ahead of a weekend to maximise opening day sales, the company's India page is currently showing the iPad Air 2 on its homepage, rather than the iPhone 6 as it had been displaying in the recent past.
Notably, a usually reliable retailer tweeted the same on Thursday, with other reports also indicating Friday availability of the iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3. We already know the pricing of the two tablets in India, which were revealed shortly after the global launch of the two tablets in October.
iPad Air 2 with Wi-Fi models will be available at Rs. 35,900 for the 16GB model, Rs. 42,900 for the 64GB model and Rs. 49,900 for the 128GB model. iPad Air 2 with Wi-Fi + Cellular models will be available at Rs. 45,900 for the 16GB model, Rs. 52,900 for the 64GB model and Rs. 59,900 for the 128GB model.
iPad mini 3 with Wi-Fi models will be available at Rs. 28,900 for the 16GB model, Rs. 35,900 for the 64GB model and Rs. 42,900 for the 128GB model. iPad mini 3 with Wi-Fi + Cellular models will be available at Rs. 38,900 for the 16GB model, Rs. 45,900 for the 64GB model and Rs. 52,900 for the 128GB model.
