Apple Confirms 128GB iPad Starting At $799

As reported yesterday rumors had been popping up around the web that Apple was working on an iPad with twice the storage capacity of the 64GB model. Today those rumors were confirmed as Apple officially announced the 128GB iPad 4 with Retina Display.

“With more than 120 million iPads sold, it’s clear that customers around the world love their iPads, and every day 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.”

For internals nothing has changed from the current fourth generation iPad. You get the same features which include a 9.7-inch Retina display, Apple-designed A6X chip, FaceTime HD camera and the update to iOS 6.1 which includes support for additional LTE networks around the world.

The new 128GB versions of the fourth generation iPad will be available starting Tuesday, February 5, in black or white, for a suggested retail price of $799 (US) for the iPad with Wi-Fi model and $929 (US) for the iPad with Wi-Fi + Cellular model. All versions of the 128GB iPad will be sold through the Apple Online Store (www.apple.com), Apple retail stores and select Apple Authorized Resellers.
