With Proview Settlement Done And Dusted, Apple’s New iPad Finally Comes To China July

A little over a week after finally*settling its iPad legal case against Proview to the tune of $60 million, Apple today is delivering some more good iPad news in China: it’s going to start selling the new iPad on the mainland starting July 20.The Retina-display-enhanced model will be priced starting at $499 for the 16GB model *($629 with cellular access) (3,176 yuan), $599 ($729 with cellular access) for the 32GB device and $699 for the 64GB version *($829 with cellular access). At the same time, it has reduced the price of the older iPad 2 to $399. These prices are in line with what Apple is charging for the tablets in the U.S. – although given that the per-capita income in China is significantly lower, that price will feel a lot higher to the average consumer.
