Optus is also offering Apple’s new iPad Air on a plan

The iPad Air has just been released and Optus has become the latest carrier to offer the wi-fi + cellular device on a plan or outright.

The device is thinner, lighter and faster than the previous version and has had its most drastic design makeover since the original iPad was released three and half years ago.

Optus customers can purchase the new iPad Air wi-fi + cellular on a plan starting from just $50 which includes 1GB of data per month on a 24 month plan.

It is also possible to buy the iPad Air wi-fi + cellular outright rather than on a monthly plan.
