iPad May be Available for less than Rs 19,000, Apple Planning to Manufacture iPads in India

Big Billion Days Sale of Flipkart, one of the big e-commerce companies, is going to start soon. The start date of this sale has not been announced. However, information about some offers in this sale has been received from online leaks. It will compete with Amazon’s Great Indian Festival Sale starting this month.

Tipster Abhishek Yadav has said in a post on social media platform Flipkart Apple’s iPad, launched in 2021, can be purchased at a huge discount in the sale of Rs. A screenshot shared with this post states that the price of this tablet can be less than Rs 19,000. However, this price is likely to include bank offers. Apple launched the iPad three years ago at a starting price of around Rs 30,000.

This iPad has a 10.2 inch display with LCD panel. It has the same A13 Bionic chip as the iPhone 11. This tablet has a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera with 122 degree field of view and Center Stage support. It also supports third-party keyboards along with Apple Pencil and Apple’s Smart Keyboard. iPadOS 15 was given in it and the upcoming iPadOS 18 update will also be available for it. This iPad can be charged with Apple’s 20 W power adapter.

Apple’s contract manufacturer Foxconn is planning to expand its business in the country. It is exploring the possibility of assembling the iPad. Foxconn and Apple’s other contract manufacturing firms have been assembling iPhones in the country for the past few years. The iPhone 15 series, launched last year, is assembled at Foxconn’s factory near Chennai in Tamil Nadu. Recently, in a media report quoting sources, it was said that Foxconn is considering starting assembling of iPad in its factory. A source said, “Foxconn aims to double its manufacturing. This will also include iPhone, iPad and some other products.” Manufacturing these Apple tablets in the country will not be difficult because the capability required for them is similar to assembling a smartphone.
