Things get a bit hairy from there, as the Wi-Fi + cellular connectivity versions start you off from $629 for the 16 GB one, and crawl up to the whopping $929 for the 128 GB iPad Air with 4G LTE modem. Hey, the new iPads support the most LTE networks of any device globally, so if you tend to globetrot with your tablet, you might want to take notice.
In Europe in general and Germany in particular, the cheapest iPad Air will run you EUR 479 ($659), and the most expensive goes for EUR 885 ($1197). Oddly enough, the European versions seem to be the most expensive in USD equivalent, while in countries like Japan the iPad Air costs as much as in the US. Your best bet is Canada, where the new iPad costs 498 USD.
