Apple announced today that the iPad’s Wi-Fi variant will come to its retail stores and select authorized resellers in China this Friday, September 17, at 10:00 a.m.

The prices for the iPad Wi-Fi models in China are CNY3988 ($590) for the 16GB model, CNY4788 ($708) for the 32GB model and CNY5588 ($827) for the 64GB model.

It will be interesting to see how the iPad knockoffs that abound in China will fare against the real deal, considering their prices are much lower.

Apple also announced it will be launching the iPad in “many more countries” by the end of the year. The company promises to announce pricing and availability at a later date.
