Apple breaks the 128 GB barrier with the iPad 4, starting from $799
Apple just broke the 128GB barrier for the first time with the iPad line, as it announced a version with that much internal storage of its newest Retina Display iPad 4 to go on sale February 5.

The slate will have Wi-Fi and cellular models, with the strictly Wi-Fi variant going for $799, while the one with broadband connectivity going for the cool sum of $929.

Phil Schiller, Apple's marketing chief, gave a little pep talk for the launch of the 128 GB iPad 4 version:

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.

100. sithvenger (banned) posted on 29 Jan 2013, 20:23 1

You're not ROFLMAO. It's not that funny dude.

96. lyndon420 posted on 29 Jan 2013, 18:50 1

So...you are now responding to PhoneArenaUser by saying I love you Wendy? Just how old are you dark?

99. sithvenger (banned) posted on 29 Jan 2013, 20:20 1

Older than the tree of life, but younger than the stars that no longer shine.

102. rusticguy posted on 29 Jan 2013, 23:23 1

sithvenger is the screen name now. dark uses 2 screen names/user accounts :)

117. sithvenger (banned) posted on 03 Feb 2013, 06:49

Yep rusticguy I sure do...it's no secret

110. PhoneArenaUser posted on 30 Jan 2013, 08:23

In some comments he claims that he has a son.

116. sithvenger (banned) posted on 03 Feb 2013, 06:48

In all comments I have a son. What r u talking about? I'm a father, but this isn't and shouldn't b about my son.

78. networkdood posted on 29 Jan 2013, 15:31

phoneuser...fashion remains king for some...

51. PhenomFaz posted on 29 Jan 2013, 10:40 5

wendy's a troll mate...nothin we can do bout it.
freely speaking amlost 1000 dollars price tag for a tablet which isnt a full computer is just an attrocity!
Tablets have been around since 2009 ....its about damn time these things come with good specs at resonable prices to the masses and not some premium pricing for s**tty configs!

76. PhoneAddiction posted on 29 Jan 2013, 14:57 3

Wendy is the same guy that played a hoax on Manti Teo. Lol

77. HouTexan posted on 29 Jan 2013, 15:25 1

lmfao!!

81. sithvenger (banned) posted on 29 Jan 2013, 15:44 1 3

LMAOOOOO

28. PackMan posted on 29 Jan 2013, 09:08 12 1

I would rather buy a nice laptop or a slate over this piece of s**t.

34. darkkjedii posted on 29 Jan 2013, 09:16 7 7

Then u should buy a laptop, or slate. See how easy that was?

45. tashreef posted on 29 Jan 2013, 10:05 1 2

i think u should buy MS surface pro .. laptop+tablet... bit expensive than this ...

89. InspectorGadget80 posted on 29 Jan 2013, 17:44 1 1

or in this case a ultra book

103. rusticguy posted on 29 Jan 2013, 23:25 1

Laptop would be my preference for this amount as i cannot install Oracle XE on this crap.

30. imsickwithsmartphone posted on 29 Jan 2013, 09:13 5 1

SUPER CRAZY EXPENSIVE EVEN FOR 128GB STORAGE!!
even high class micro sd card 64 gb is less than $50....

54. PhenomFaz posted on 29 Jan 2013, 10:45 2

thats cruel and dumb! pets are lving things and they deserve better than what value you give them. they're certainly worth more than chunks of plastic and metal....you cant put a price tag o life...and as for you get a damn life man!

95. wendygarett posted on 29 Jan 2013, 18:29 1 3

I'm here just to collect how many domino I can get from my trolling, don't take it seriously tho, I don't even have a pet :p

111. TROLL posted on 30 Jan 2013, 17:46

Well normally Apple users sell there body-parts t

2. SkurtMcGurt posted on 29 Jan 2013, 08:08 16 3

Just slight overkill if you ask me "/

7. darkskoliro posted on 29 Jan 2013, 08:21 13 7

lol note users were so happy about 64gb internal + 64gb sd card = 128gb, saying how awesome it was now apple makes 128gb internal and people say "meh". Welcome to the mobile universe where infact everyone is one-sided!! :D

13. SkurtMcGurt posted on 29 Jan 2013, 08:25 11 7

Regardless of android or apple, 128gb is overkill

20. darac posted on 29 Jan 2013, 08:35 4 6

What?
A single full HD movie is over 10 gigabytes.
There are games over 3gb, and new titles will only increase that.
And again, you can't just connect external disc or flash storage to an iOS device.

128GB is necessary for a heavy iPad user if you ask me.

25. darkskoliro posted on 29 Jan 2013, 08:46 3 2

what i said a couple months back, got thumbed down like crazy when i said 64 will last me forever. (using 48gb and finding that hard to max atm)

36. darkkjedii posted on 29 Jan 2013, 09:17 2

Very well said bro. Hypocrisy rears its ugly head

21. daftastic posted on 29 Jan 2013, 08:37 4 1

Overkill? I maxxed out my 64GB iPod the moment I got it. This is not overkill, far from it actually.

91. InspectorGadget80 posted on 29 Jan 2013, 17:45 2

What happened if they make a over price 128GB Ipod touch it will be lke 700$?

114. daftastic posted on 31 Jan 2013, 03:50

They won't, if that happens, big mistake on Apple's part for creating overexpensive gadgets.

29. TheLibertine posted on 29 Jan 2013, 09:09 3 1

Agree with Scurt. Apps really are not the big deal, cause, while there are heavy games around 2 GB, most use only 100 megabytes. 3 GB give you movies in pleasant quality, music is about 5 GB. So my 32 GB work out fine for me and there is a reason why most manufacturers stick to it.

If you want to use your iPad for all kinds of media without deleting anything, even 256 would not be enough, so be aware of that before buying this overpriced version.

3. hateftotti posted on 29 Jan 2013, 08:08 28 2

$800 for nothing new

5. 1v1addict posted on 29 Jan 2013, 08:15 6 1

Of course there's nothing new, it's just storage upgrade

9. Mxyzptlk posted on 29 Jan 2013, 08:23 3 12

So why are you here then?

32. darkkjedii posted on 29 Jan 2013, 09:14 1 4

Good question. Answer, nothing better to do.

92. InspectorGadget80 posted on 29 Jan 2013, 18:04 2 1

yep same old tech & design

4. darkkjedii posted on 29 Jan 2013, 08:11 6 23

I'm already in line for this. This also 128 gig iphone yesssss

10. Mxyzptlk posted on 29 Jan 2013, 08:23 1 14

I want to give them my money as well.

31. darkkjedii posted on 29 Jan 2013, 09:13 9

Yeah myx. I've been waiting for an iPad, or iPhone with 128 due to how heavy I am into mobile photography. I am so there when this beauty comes out... Can't wait bro.

59. weinerslav posted on 29 Jan 2013, 11:36 4

LOL, funniest comment ever! 128GB for mobile photography LOL, seriously, thank you for the laughs! Not even attaching a dslr to a tablet to send the pictures directly "128GB for photography" makes much sense unless you never intend to move pictures from there, so I don't even ask why would you need 128gb to mobile photography, where the files are much smaller. I see the usefulness of 128gb just not for "mobile photography"

65. darkkjedii posted on 29 Jan 2013, 12:56 6

What I do with my 128 gigs, and my photos, and vids is my business. Ooooohhhhh lalaaaaaa calianté

93. InspectorGadget80 posted on 29 Jan 2013, 18:04 2 1

yes but can it play porn?

101. sithvenger (banned) posted on 29 Jan 2013, 20:24 1

Yes it can

6. Johnnokia posted on 29 Jan 2013, 08:19 5

Today's morning jock looooooooooooool.

8. infinitemethod posted on 29 Jan 2013, 08:22 13

No one in their right mind would purchase that for $800. Don't give in people, don't give into Apple's insane profit margin on storage. What a joke. Seeya Apple!

11. scriptwriter posted on 29 Jan 2013, 08:23 5

alternitively, you could an entry level tablet with the same size screen for $200 then go pc world or maplin or some american equilivient and buy 128GB external harddrive for $50. Total savings = $550.

12. Joker posted on 29 Jan 2013, 08:24 5

On other news, organs in the black market just dropped by 66%!!!

14. MartyK posted on 29 Jan 2013, 08:26 6

A Micro SD card with 128GB range from $94-$134, and you can move it between different devices if you like.

15. kshell1 posted on 29 Jan 2013, 08:27 10

I could get a decent computer for that with a 500gb or 1TB hard drive, i dont think im paying $799 for this.
