We have been echoing for several weeks the possibility of Apple exporting the pricing policy that it executed during the presentation of the iPhone 4S to its tablets. Thus, it has been said that the iPads that are currently available in stores - the iPad 2 - could experience a price drop, with a view to becoming the mid-range of those from Cupertino for this market, and thus be more competitive in facing the terminals that will flood the market during 2012 - paying special attention to the threat that looms over them from the hand of Amazon and its Kindle Fire -.
Thus, through DigiTimes, we have learned that Apple wants to seduce the new clientele in this segment by reciting the verses that most dazzle users: nutritious lowering of prices and kingpin so that the competition faces a device that, already having The popularity argument adds to its virtues the fact that it costs $ 200 less - about 150 euros, at the current exchange rate, which would quite possibly be between 180 and 200 euros if the strategy were imported to European soil -.
This possibility, as detailed from DigiTimes, responds to the forecast made by a group of analysts, who also consider that if Apple launches not one, but two tablets, during this 2012, the price drop of the iPad 2 would not be carried out in the terms exposed, since it would be the highest-end model that would assume the acquisition costs that the firm's still last tablet currently has, while the second device to be sold would monopolize the price that is currently stipulated for the aforementioned iPad 2.
In other words: the price drop of the iPad 2, and its validity in the Apple catalog, would be subject to the number of new devices that the firm presents this year. In case we only know an iPad 3 - there is also talk of an iPad 2S -, the iPad 2 Wi-Fi would have prices between 300 and 500 dollars - between 280 and 480 euros, following the relative progression according to the current prices of the iPad 2 Wi-Fi in Spain -.
In any case, it is convenient not to throw the bells to the flight, for those who want to buy an iPad 2, nor to panic, for those who think to sell your tablet with a view to buying the new model. Apple has not yet moved a date regarding this data, so it is advisable to be prudent and wait for those of Cupertino to pronounce in this regard.
