The iPad Mini has a starting price of $329, for the base 16GB WiFi model. The range of models goes from 16GB WiFi only through to a 64GB WiFi + cellular model that will go for $659.
Just as predicted by Asymco last week, the price bumps up $100 for each doubling of storage size on the iPad Mini, and around $130 for the addition of cellular capability – as you can hopefully see in the shot above.
The $329 entry level price for the iPad Mini is a fair bit higher than some of us were hoping for (around $250 or so). Now some will certainly question whether this price is keen enough to compete with lower priced 7 inch tablets from Google, Amazon and others.
What do you all think of the iPad Mini pricing levels?

Follow Me: 
Not a deal breaker, but I was hoping it would be $300 or less, even if it was an 8GB.
If I was buying my first one (currently have the iPad 3), I would probably pass at $329 and get the iPad 2 for $399
I will be getting my iPad Mini very soon!
FAR too expensive! My refurb iPad 2 32G barely cost $400 and the screen is obviously much larger. I already have a Kindle, so I definitely don’t need or want an iPad mini until the price comes way down.
