Apple Receives Certification to Sell Brazilian-Assembled iPad 2

Apple has received certification to sell Brazilian-assembled iPad 2s in Brazil, according to a MacRumors report. The domestically-assembled models will sell alongside the Chinese-assembled models.

The company has yet to receive certification for the new iPad, notes the site.

Regarding the new iPad, certifications for all models of the new iPad are still pending for both Brazilian- and Chinese-assembled models, but it is clear that the company is making preparations to launch the device with at least some domestic production in Brazil. Apple will, however, be unable to launch the new iPad in Brazil until appropriate certifications are received, and the company has yet to announce a launch date for the device.


iPads assembled in Brazil would carry the BR/A suffix on their model numbers instead of the BZ/A found on the Chinese version.
