As of today, the New iPad (New iPad ou iPad 3), is now sold on the Brazil. Since the dawn of this Friday, the device can already be found in stores Submarino, Fast Shop, Saraiva, Fnac, A2You, Apple Store (online) and authorized by the operator TIM. The basic model (wi-fi , 16GB) can be found for cash payment by R$1.406,82 .
We did the math: if the person buys the same device with a Brazilian credit card in New York, United States, the total cost will be US$ 577,93 (US$ 499,00 + 8,75% local tax + 6,5% IOF for the card). According to yesterday's official exchange rate (1 dollar = R$ 1,96), which is always lower than that charged by banks, the New iPad would leave for R$1.132,74. In other words, the price in Brazil is only R$ 274,00 more expensive!
If you choose the most expensive model (New iPad 4G + WIFI and 64GB), the difference is even smaller: the cost in the Brazilian store will be only R$206,00 more. A surprising difference. Considering that you have the local guarantee and, of course, the convenience of buying it without having to travel or order it from someone (relative/friend/acquaintance), the value is more attractive, isn't it?
For this favorable scenario, we must take into :
– The recent rise in the dollar
– The current IOF rate for international transactions with a Brazilian credit card
– The discount offered for cash payment at selected stores
In Brazil it is still possible to pay the device in installments.
As a reminder: the specifications of the New iPad are on the screen Retina Display, with resolution 2048 1536 pixels x (four times more pixels than the iPad 2), iSight camera 5 megapixels, processor A5X (twice as fast as its predecessor) and internet 4G (although this type of connection does not yet exist in the country). If you don't want to pay another bill for a data package, there are versions of the device that only offer Wi-Fi mode.
