Apple has confirmed the recently rumored 128 GB model of the fourth-generation iPad with prices starting at $799.
The 128 gigabyte WiFi iPad will cost $799, while a cellular version will retail for $929. Both variants of the fourth-generation iPad are scheduled for a launch on February 5 in black and white. It'll be available through Apple's online store, its retail stores and selected resellers.
The 128 GB iPad sports all of the same features offered by the 16, 32 and 64 GB models including a 9.7-inch Retina display, a FaceTime HD camera and an A6X processor.
"With more than 120 million iPads sold, it’s clear that customers around the world love their iPads, and everyday they are finding more great reasons to work, learn and play on their iPads rather than their old PCs," said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing.
"With twice the storage capacity and an unparalleled selection of over 300,000 native iPad apps, enterprises, educators and artists have even more reasons to use iPad for all their business and personal needs."

jakes69 apple really running out of idea.Reply

ddpruitt So everyone's moving to the cloud and Apple is abandoning it?Reply
This another product designed for people who know or care zip about electronics. 128 GB is overkill, I have a hard enough time filling 32GB. Just store on the cloud or carry around a portable drive if you need the space. Oh wait forgot can't do that with an iPad. -
LEXX911 iTurd and crApple are one overpriced scam POS for a tablet that run on a crappy iOS. Instead of adding a MicroSD slot they just scam the idiots into buying their over hype crap.Reply -

Nothing. Just the typical Apple stability and quality but more storage. Just another option and why do some people think Apple has to reinvent the wheel every time they release a product upgrade? Just pulling from rear end to say anything negative at this point. -

Apple doesn't want MicroSD because it can introduce software that can corrupt the iOS environment. Apple wants to keep iOS as stable as possible by making sure everything installed is not malicious. Also how is Apple over-priced when most competitors cost the same or more? Feel free to explain, but I doubt you thought that far ahead. lol
