It appears the spirit of gift-giving has infected our nation’s mobile service providers as they seem to be in an incredibly charitable mood. Earlier, we found out that Maxis gave 13 lucky employees an all-expense-paid trip to Bali, and now it seems Tune Talk is also handing out Apple iPad Pros to their staff.
At what looked like a Star Wars themed party at Svago KLCC, the MVNO handed out iPad Pros to its employees, though it is unclear how many of them actually received it. These iPad Pros aren’t just the entry-level models either, oh no, they’re the 128GB cellular+WiFi models which retail at RM4,899 in the Malaysian Apple Store.
Unfortunately, from what we can decipher from the pictures posted on their twitter profile, it doesn’t look like there are any Apple Pencils or Apple Smart Keyboard included with the iPad Pro. But hey, I’m sure buying just the keyboard and stylus when you already have the tablet won’t be too bad. Besides, they can always just use it to watch videos. Or to answer phone calls via Continuity.
12.9-inch phablet anyone?
It’s nice that big companies are taking care of their employees and perhaps after these two show what they’ve done for their employees, more may follow suit. Competition is good after all, though we’re having a hard time determining who got the better deal here. Let me put it to you, our readers, if you had a choice between a 128GB WiFi+Cellular iPad Pro and a VIP trip for 2 to Bali, which would you choose?
On the other hand, if you’re still stumped on what gifts to get for Christmas, but you can’t afford an iPad Pro, check out our ultimate gadget gift guide.
