| Tech: 128GB iPad for $799 out Feb 5th Jan 29th 2013, 22:48  Quote: In line with a stock database leak from earlier this week, Apple today officially announced a new 128 GB version of the fourth-generation iPad with Retina Display. The new larger-capacity iPad launches next Tuesday, February 5 and will carry a $100 premium over the current top-end configuration, coming in at $799 for the Wi-Fi models and $929 for the Wi-Fi + Cellular models. Quote: "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." | Rumors and hints of a 128 GB iPad developed quickly with a reference to higher-capacity iOS devices appearing in what turned out to be the shipping version of iOS 6.1 when it was released as a beta to developers over the weekend. Just a day later, new high-end iPad configurations were spotted in the stock database of a major U.S. retailer, suggesting that a launch was indeed imminent.  | I'm glad that they're at least expanding their storage possibilities, but I hope that they lower the prices with the iPad 5 release by cutting out the 16GB model altogether. $799 might sound like a lot, but getting 8x the storage for $300 more isn't that bad of a deal. Obviously it doesn't cost Apple nearly that much to put the storage in there but that's Apple tax for ya... I question who actually needs 128GB on a tablet though... But when you're paying $799 for a tablet, you might as well spend $200 more for a new MacBook Air (or $50 more for a refurb). The funny thing is though, this is still $100 cheaper than the Microsoft Surface Pro :toofunny3: | |
