Apple products with confirmed launch dates this year are concentrated on 6 and 13 November. The article organizes and presents the launch dates and prices in Japan, as well as the status of HomeView’s release in Japan.
Five products, including an OLED iPad mini and a MacBook Pro with touch support, are scheduled to launch on 6 November. Prices in Japan will range from around ¥120,000 for the base configuration to more than ¥500,000 at the high end. The iPad mini is expected to be the least expensive on the same day, while the 16-inch OLED model is expected to be the most expensive. The lineup is centered on new Mac models, and the Japan launch dates and prices for each product are organized in a table.
Two products are scheduled to launch on 13 November, but the only one confirmed for release in Japan is the Apple TV 4K (4th generation), priced at ¥49,800 including tax. Neither a launch date nor a price has been announced for HomeView in Japan.
As of now, information on discounts ahead of Black Friday in the United States does not apply to the new products. It is uncertain whether additional price cuts will be offered between the 6 and 13 November launches and Black Friday. Overseas discount information and prices at retailers in Japan may not match.
Purchasing decisions for the rest of the year can be organized around 3 criteria. If users are dissatisfied with their current device, priority should be given to the launch date, while those focused on discounts may also consider current models. Those waiting for Siri to support Japanese are advised to monitor developments regarding HomeView.
