14 DAY TRIAL // Apple is not planning a price spike for the next generation iPad, according to one report coming from a reputable source, despite rumors that the iPad 3 might be pricier by as much as $80.
Sources familiar with Apple’s plans with the iPad 3 lineup are telling 9to5mac that the pricing will be identical to that of the iPad 2, a move that replicates Apple’s pricing scheme from last year.
There shouldn’t have been any concern that the iPad 3 would cost more. However, a person from China claiming to have inside knowledge kicked off a rumor this week saying that the iPad 3 would see a price spike of about $70-$80 in the Unites States.
It still remains to be confirmed exactly what Apple will charge for the next iPad, but it’s very unlikely that it will cost more.
