Est prices?

Est prices?

Same as, or less than, current models would be my guess.

Saw something on Macrumors that said a small increase.

According to the chart, the iPad 3 costs $80 more for the equivalent Wi-Fi models, and $70 more for the equivalent 3G models.

Est prices?

Well, Best Buy just dropped iPad 2 prices by $50 so I imagine the new one will come in about the previous prices.

I'll be interested to see if there truly is a 4GLTE version on the 7th. That, at 64gb would be a helluva device for the same price as the version2 3G version.
If 4G doesn't eat battery life like a fat kid on cake and I could do that at a reasonable monthly data plan, I might upgrade.

Apple can always count on the fanbois. :yesnod:

Damn that's bad ass. I'm going to have to wait. Just got an iPhone 4s, plus I'm going completely off the grid this summer, so it doesn't make a lot of sense.

I'm curious as to whether there will be a MacBookPro refresh at this time. We're due... The last refresh was February 2011. The one before that was April 2010...

:bigears:

I saw a report that Intel was having some issues delivering the new Ivy Bridge chips and that could affect the refresh timeline for MBPs. We'll see.

I'm ready for a new one myself.

I'm also curious about reports that we might see a new Apple TV on the 7th.

My 4 year old MacBookPro will last me at least another year. And yes, it would be interesting to see an Apple TV update.
