Today is the launch of iPad 3. Just as predicted, a lot of people would grab the opportunity to get their hands on the new Apple device. Here are some of the tips that you should remember upon purchasing the new iOS device.

First and most importantly, this is not the best time to a buy a new iPad 2. Although, most of the features of the new device are kept under wraps by the company, it is still unclear if the long wait or the price is worthy. If minor improvements were only added on the device, it is not worth it to buy the iPad 3. The rumors were still unconfirmed until the launch.

There have been some rumors that iPad 3 may cost higher than iPad with an additional $70 for the 3G+WiFi model and $80 for the Wi-Fi only model. Even though iPad 3 is expected to feature a high resolution 2048x1536 Retina Display, which will cost more than the current iPad 2 LCD display, it seems highly unlikely that Apple will increase the price an iPad 3. A recent report has also confirmed that iPad 3 pricing will be the same as iPad 2. Thus, it is of vital importance to consider your finances if you are able to afford the device.

Where To Buy

There are Apple Stores in Sydney and Melbourne. However, as iPad is one of the highest selling devices in Australia, it is best to call for reservation. Moreover, shipments just after the launch are quite limited. Thus, unreserved stocks are being sold in first come, first serve basis.

Next Byte, JB Hi-Fi and Myer stores are some of the reliable resellers of iPad. You may want to check out these stores when you were unable to make a reservation in Apple Stores.

iPad 2 Trade-Ins Begins

Due to the launch of iPad 3, the agitation and excitement in the tech world, trade-ins of old iPads have begun. It is the time of the year again when tech giant Apple is about to release another amazing iOS device. However, it is also the time of the year when Apple users trade or sell their old gadgets for upgrade.

iPad users may still get a fair price for their old devices since iPad still hold greater value compared to other tablets. Thus, if an iPad owner wants to upgrade his or her device, there is a chance that owners have a better chance of getting back some of their money when they resell their device.
