Earlier in the week, a post on Chinese microblogging site Sino Weibo had revealed a price comparison chart of iPad 2 and iPad 3, which indicated that iPad 3 may cost $70 (for Wi-Fi+3G model) to $80 (for Wi-Fi only model) more than iPad 2.
There were some speculations that Apple may pass the higher cost of iPad 3's rumored Retina Display. If you were worried of the price increase then we have some good news.
9 to 5 Mac reports that according to one of their reliable sources, Apple won't be increasing the price of iPad 3. 9 to 5 Mac also reports that iPad 3 will be available in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB storage capacities.
We’ve gotten word that iPad pricing is going to be the same across the board as the current iPad 2 models which should be no big surprise given Apple’s history – they rarely raise prices. Even better, some countries with currencies doing better than the US dollar should expect to see marginal drops in prices.
While we’re squashing, the configurations appear to be the same as current 16/32/64GB. One of the strange succession of posts from Digitimes this week said that Apple would move to 8GB/16GB/32GB. That appears even less likely than before, if that is possible.
While we didn't expect Apple to increase prices of iPad 3, we would be a little disappointed if Apple doesn't offer a 128GB iPad 3.
