The new iPad Air with Wi-Fi + Cellular will be available in Singapore through local telecommunications operators SingTel and M1 on Friday 1 November 2013. The iPad mini with Retina Display will only be available later in November 2013. Together with the new devices, SingTel and M1 will also be offering a range of attractive data plans to let you connect to their dual-band 4G LTE network in Singapore.
StarHub has not made any announcements on the new iPads yet. But we bet that StarHub will be making a similar announcement soon which will also come with competitive offers similar to SingTel and M1.
