Apple Increases Price Of iPad Devices In Various Markets, Including Malaysia
Author Avatar

Apple appears to have increased the price of its existing iPad range in several of its markets outside of the United States and Canada, following the launch of the latest 10th generation iPad and iPad Pro models yesterday. This affects Malaysian customers as well, who will now have to pay between RM100 to RM400 more to purchase the iPad mini 6, iPad Air 5, and the 9th generation iPad – depending on the model.

Accordingly, Apple Malaysia’s website has been updated to show the revised prices of all the iPad devices, as per the following:

This price hike – while somewhat unexpected amidst all the excitement from the launch of the latest iPad (10th gen) and iPad Pro models – is most likely attributed to currency fluctuations, with the ringgit (and various other currencies) having depreciated significantly against the US dollar. Specifically, the ringgit has languished at a 24-year low against the greenback.

Moreover, currency fluctuations, too, have been cited as a reason for Apple to recently hike the price of apps and in-app purchases on the App Store in various countries across Asia and Europe. In its announcement back in September, Apple said this revision was set to take effect from as early as 5 October 2022.
