The new iPad will be available in Brunei, Croatia, Cyprus, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Malaysia, Panama, St Maarten, Uruguay and Venezuela.
The following Friday, it will be available in Colombia, Estonia, India, Israel, Latvia, Lithuania, Montenegro, South Africa and Thailand. With minor upgrades such as improved processor and a higher resolution screen, the new iPad has been a success for Apple, the world leader in the tablet business.
The 22 new stores that will receive the iPad will help Apple cement its lead over rivals running on Android. South Korea is a important market because it is the home country of rival Samsung Electronics.
The prices for the iPad remain the same, starting at $499 for a Wi-Fi only 16GB version, and going as high as $829 for the 64GB 4G version, although Apple notes that 4G LTE is only available in markets in North America
