Apple has sold 120 million iPads till date. And it continues to do so with its new product range. The latest being the iPad with 128GB storage. Apple has recently announced iPad with 128GB of storage. This is twice the storage offered in its earlier models. These new iPads with increased storage will be available for sale from Feb 5. The colors will be the same black and white and the pricing would vary in terms of available features where basic Wifi model would cost $799 and the Wifi plus cellular model would cost $929.

In India too, the 128GB iPad will start selling from Feb 5 for a suggested retail price of Rs 49,900 including VAT (Rs 47,523.81 ex-VAT) for the Wi-Fi iPad, and Rs 56,900 including VAT (Rs 54,190.48 ex-VAT) for the Wi-Fi + cellular model. Only authorized Apple resellers will be dealing in the same. 

It is still not clear why Apple is coming up with a 128GB iPad. Could be because of the growing tablets market which has been challenged with new product launches from Samsung, Google and other small players. As per NPD DisplaySearch, tablet market will more than double to $162 billion by 2017. Tavis McCourt, an analyst at Raymond James & Associates recently said in an interview -
The tablet market is expanding, and Apple sees a market opportunity, not just at the low end but also in the high end with heavy media consumers.

Well, I think it is good in the end. Storage is always an important concern. Hopefully...128GB iPad will fare better !!
