iPad UK Pricing

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

I’ve been looking recently for what iPad pricing in the UK will be, but Apple are keeping schtum. So, let’s have a little guess:

Current US Prices:

Wi-fi
16GB $499
32GB $599
64GB $699

Wi-fi + 3G
16GB $629
32GB $729
64GB $829

The current USD to GBP exchange rate is 0.656943897, so by adding this and 17.5% VAT we get:

Wi-fi
16GB £385
32GB £462
64GB £539

Wi-fi + 3G
16GB £485
32GB £562
64GB £640

Now, we all know that nobody from America does direct translations of price, because we can be milked more can’t we? So, let’s round them up to nicer sales figures:

Wi-fi
16GB £399
32GB £479
64GB £549

Wi-fi + 3G
16GB £499
32GB £579
64GB £649

Expect these to be the lowest likely prices you’ll pay.
