3G version of iPad parallel prices at least 200 yuan by the impact of new launches

iPad "parallel imports" prices have been loosened. The reporter visited a computer store yesterday and found that for the 3G version of the iPad of 16G size, for example, the quotation from 4,700 yuan to 4,800 yuan has become historical, and the price range from 4,300 yuan to 4,500 yuan has become a common quotation range. "One is because of the supply, and the other One reason is that after the Spring Festival has passed, there is less buying and giving gifts." Many merchants told reporters.

The price reduction was first reflected on the Internet. In the past few days, Taobao searched for the 3G version of the iPad with a size of 16G, and its quotation was almost concentrated in the range of RMB 4,200 to RMB 4,300, and the price of RMB 4800 was already very small. Yesterday, the reporter also found in the bainaohui of Chaowai Street that the merchants' quotation was from RMB 4,200 to RMB 4,600. However, regardless of the quotation, all the merchants who were asked admitted that the 3G iPad was indeed cutting prices.

“Actually, the price cuts started before the holiday.” Mr. Ma told reporters, “But before the Spring Festival, many units chose the iPad as an annual prize, and some people visited friends and relatives and picked this as a gift, so the price cut was not obvious. "After the Spring Festival, with the economic downturn of gifts diminishing, the iPad price has gradually declined. Currently, the quotes for the 16G WIFI version of the iPad are mostly concentrated in the range of 3,500 yuan to 3,700 yuan, while the price of the 3G iPad iPad "parallel imports" is generally priced at two to three hundred yuan.

“I don’t think the iPad has much room for price cuts.” Merchants Mr. Yin and Ms. Chen both stated. All of them have learned that the iPad 2 will be available soon. According to Apple’s usual strategy, after the second generation of listing, a generation of products will gradually cease production, and it will drop by one to two hundred at most,” said Ms. Chen.

Yesterday, Apple has officially issued an invitation letter for the iPad 2 product launch conference, which means that people experience the Tablet PC iPad, but just over a year ago, it will face a new temptation. According to previous news released by technology enthusiasts, the iPad's second-generation products are even lighter in size and display resolution is higher. Front and rear dual cameras are set up, and two kinds of telecommunication networks, GSM and CDMA, can be operated simultaneously. “When it comes to the parallel market, it is definitely a new wave of new products,” Mr. Ma said. “Every time.”
