Compare the prices for the new iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3 from Telstra, Optus and Vodafone.

Apple's latest tablets, the iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3, are now available through Telstra, Optus and Vodafone. So how do the prices compare? Below are plans compared for iPads with both WiFi and cellular connectivity.

Vodafone

Vodafone offers five different data plans offering between 2.5GB and 25GB per month for between $20 and $90 per month.

On top of that, you need to add the monthly payment for your preferred iPad.

Vodafone also offers a $100 credit if you add this to your existing account.

Telstra

Telstra's plans require a little bit of reading through some fine print, but they follow a similar structure to Vodafone with the data and hardware components being separated. They offer four different data options.

Then there's the monthly hardware costs.

Optus

Optus breaks things down in a similar way to the other carriers but offers a 100MB plan to cover those who only need to use data very occasionally.

Then you need to add the hardware payment to get a total monthly cost.

At the time of writing there was no pricing available yet for the iPad mini 3 from Optus.
