Apple has announced the launch of its next iPad which will boast double the storage capacity of their current largest model. But the 128GB iPad doesn’t come cheap…
128GB iPad
The fourth-generation iPad will have a capacity of 128GB, considerably more than the current version and will go on sale from Monday.
Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing said:
“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. 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.”
Unfortunately the 128GB iPad will be priced at $800 for the cheapest version and $930 for the Wi-Fi touting, 3G spouting version (a MacBook Air costs only $171 more).
One user on the technology forum Macrumors.com, Kcamfork, wrote:
“I’m glad there are options. But these prices are getting ridiculous for simply more storage.”
And Nia820 wrote on the same website:
“Will be skipping this. I can buy a decent laptop with that money.”
Apple’s new 128GB iPad will have to compete against existing Samsung models as well as Microsoft’s Surface Pro tablet with 128GB.

I know iPad is one of the best tablets today. It clearly surpasses most of its competitors when it comes to quality and features. But I agree with the others when they say that the gadget costs too much just for the memory expansion.
