Apple’s latest iPads will be on sale in South Africa next week, and local Apple distributor Core Group has confirmed how much South Africans will be expected to pay for the privilege of owning them.
Our predicted prices ended up being not entirely accurate, coming in slightly lower than the final prices:

iPad Air 16GB WiFi | R5999 | iPad Air 16GB WiFi + 3G | R7799 | |||
iPad Air 32GB WiFi | R7399 | iPad Air 32GB WiFi + 3G | R8999 | |||

The good news is you can now add these new iPads to your Christmas Wish List in the hopes that Santa brings you one on December 25. The bad is is that the iPad mini with Retina Display isn’t included in this wave. The new, tiny iPad was delayed by nearly two weeks in the US market, and there’s no indication of whether that will apply here. If it does, a mid-December launch sounds good for Christmas sales. If not, we suspect an early January arrival.
