How To Buy iPad Mini in Singapore?

If you are thinking of how to buy iPad Mini in Singapore, you have come to the right place as I will be sharing some tips with you on how to purchase the popular Apple tablet in Singapore.

The  Apple iPad has been launched in April in USA in 2010,and the first launch outside USA is on 28 May, in countries like United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Australia, Switzerland, Spain, Britain and Canada.

iPad Singapore Release Date

As for Singapore, the official launch is on 23rd July 2010. However, many Singaporeans have already ordered their iPads from USA via amazon, and some other third party forwarders.

If you have friends in USA, you are in luck because you can simply ask them to buy the iPad from any apple store and then get a forwarder to ship the iPad to you. This is the easiest and yet cheapest way to buy your iPad in Singapore.

Since Australia has also just launched the apple iPad, you can use the same method. Better still, you can get a cheap plane ticket to Sydney for a short holiday and then buy the iPad from there, while enjoying your stay there. Click Here To Order Latest Apple iPad Now

If both methods are impossible for you, the next way is to try and order from amazon and then get vpost to ship the ipad to your address in Singapore. You will fill in the shipping address of vpost in USA when ordering from amazon. This has been tested with amazon kindle which is not available in Singapore as of now, with great success.

Buy iPad At Apple Store Singapore

The next method, though more expensive way is to buy locally from Sim Lim Sqaure. Beware that some of the shops there charges very high price, as much as $1000 for a 16GB wifi model. If you can wait till July, then the easiest way is to get directly from the supplier. The advantage of buying your iPad from Apple Singapore online store is that you will get the best price and also you can rest assured that your order will definitely be fulfilled.

And yes, no more waiting in queues for 24 hours just like what happened in other countries. However, if you have the time to queue up to get the apple iPad from the reseller, you can check out epicentre at ion orchard. According to the staff there, iPad will be available at the store at the end of July.

According to the iPad prices from Australia apple online store, the 64GB Wi-Fi + 3G model is retailing at a price of A$1,049, which based on the current exchange rate, it should be around SGD$1271.

Therefore, you should be expecting about SGD$1,300 – SGD$1,350 for the 64GB Wi-Fi + 3G model when it is available for preorder in July from the Singapore apple online store.

Both the Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi+3G versions of the iPad will be on sale online at a price of between S$728 for the Wi-Fi 16GB model, and S$1028 for the top end 64GB Wi-Fi. But if you buy from Amazon, you can get it from only $465.

The 16GB Wi-Fi+3G model should retail at S$928 and the 64GB Wi-Fi+3G model comes in at S$1228.

There is also the 32GB iPad which should retail at S$878 for the Wi-Fi model and S$1078 for the Wi-Fi+3G.

You can also choose the 12 months installment plan plus FREE Shipping to your home when you buy iPad in Singapore from the apple online store.

The requirements is that you need to have a citibank credit card and the total order should be at least  SGD$1,300 then you will be qualified to apply for the 12 months interest free installment plan.

iPad 3 Singapore To Be Released In March 2012

iPad 3 or iPad 2S?According to reliable sources from Cnet and Pegatron Tech (manufacturerer for iPad), the Apple iPad 3 Singapore will be launched in March 2012 with orders already confirmed. This is yet another great news for Apple fans to indulge in their consumer electronics. Read full story here.

If this is not enough, then you will be overwhelmed by the fact that Pegatron is on track to produce another 7 to 10 million iPad 4 to be shipped with killer Applications in October 2012.  So what can you expect from iPad 3? Well, if you look at the trend from Apple product launches like the iPhone, you will find that iPad 3 (or iPad 2S) will probably not have much difference as compared to iPad 2, with the additions of HD screen, better camera, faster processor, more memory and storage space.

One thing not clear is whether Apple will include the retina display on iPad 3 or even iPad 4. For price wise, I expect prices will be similar as compared to iPad 2. So if you are owners of the original iPad model (1st generation), iPad 3 could be a possible choice for you to upgrade. For current iPad 2 owners, you will probably want to watch out for iPad 4 in Singapore in October.

iPad 2 Price Drop In Singapore To Make Way For iPad 3?

As I was browsing the web today, I saw a price drop for iPad 2 which means you will save $54 if you buy it immediately here. As far as i know, Apple seldom have price discount for any of its products except that when they are trying to clear some old stock to allow new stock to come in.

It has been rumored that the Apple iPad 3 will be launching soon probably in the first half of 2012 or as early as februrary, spotting a High Definition HD screen for better graphics for game fly and could probably come with a mini model for people who needed it.

As usual, the Singapore consumers may have to wait for couple of weeks or even months once iPad 3 is released in the United States.
