As it happened with the previous edition, the North American Apple has proposed to lower the price of its current tablet, the iPad 2, given the immediacy in the launch of the new iPad "" thus, to dry, neither iPad 3 nor iPad HD "". It will be next Friday, March 16, when the third generation of Cupertino personal screens will land on the market "" at least in a first batch of launches, which will continue with a second stage a week later, from the 23 of March, which includes Spain"", And with this, the beginning of a new stage among the company's products is marked.
However, since today the Apple store has presented changes in this regard. And is that if we are interested in getting the new iPad 2 "" because we want the tablet of yore and we are not able to wait for the new generation "" we can see that you can already buy a couple of versions of this device for a price below what we had seen so far. However, as you have already read, only two editions of the iPad 2 remain, which greatly limits the offer of this family of terminals.
The versions that will remain valid only have 16 GB of internal memory. This being the case, in the event that we want the editions with 32 or 64 GB of storage capacity, we will have to resort to other means of access "" stores that keep stock of the terminal, second-hand market, etc "".
As for prices, the reduction has been marked at approximately 80 euros. Thus, the iPad 2 Wi-Fi 16 GB would have an acquisition cost of about 400 euros, while its counterpart equipped with 3G compatibility will stay at about 520 euros. Until now, as you already know, the iPad 2 Wi-Fi with 16 GB of internal memory cost about 480 euros, while the version capable of accessing high-speed mobile Internet networks required an outlay of almost 600 euros.
It is surprising that from Apple they have not maintained the offer of the full range for longer, forcing the user who wants a device well equipped with memory to get one of the new third-generation terminals. Despite everything, the company will maintain the same price scale with the new iPad that it had until yesterday with the iPad 2, so that the damage is minimal for those who were considering getting an apple tablet.
In any case, as we say, for a few weeks, perhaps months, it will still be possible to get the iPad 2 through alternative routes to the official Apple store. And as usual, the spaces where second-hand products are marketed will once again become the mecca of deals for devices in good condition and at prices that, at times, will be very appetizing. In this sense, the owners of an iPad 2 with 32 or 64 GB of memory will appreciate Apple's policy of keeping only the 16 GB versions on the official market, which will facilitate the possibility of recycling their terminals to get the new iPad.
