128 GB iPad Released

So you need more storage space on your iPad? Apple has released a 128 GB iPad, targeting professionals such as architects, videographers, and audio engineers. The device will have the same iPad 4 hardware inside but will include 128 GB in storage space. This new iPad is not for everyone. As Apple explains in its press release, it is targeting the pros with this:

Companies regularly utilizing large amounts of data such as 3D CAD files, X-rays, film edits, music tracks, project blueprints, training videos and service manuals all benefit from having a greater choice of storage options for iPad. The over 10 million iWork® users, and customers who rely on other incredible apps like Global Apptitude for analyzing team film and creating digital playbooks, Auria for an incredible 48 track recording system, or AutoCAD for drafting architectural and engineering drawings, also benefit greatly from having the choice of an iPad with more storage capacity.

The 128 GB iPad costs $799 with the LTE version going for $929. The device is as expensive as a laptop with those prices. The iPad 5 will make its debut later this year though. That is expected to have better hardware and a new, thinner design.
