Since a 64GB iPhone 5 unsubsidised is 900 here ($1200) then I'm sure there are people who will pay that for a 128GB iPad.
Got a tip for us?

That could still happen.... with the next iPad (iPad 5).
I think the February launch date of the 128GB model pretty much rules out an iPad refresh in March, which is fine, because the iPad 4 is already overkill for pretty much every app in the app store.
Wait til fall.
Ouch but then again they hold their resale so its not like it would be hard to resell for about $700 a year down the road.
256 GB is $27 per 16 GB x 15.So what will the price of future 256gb models will be? Over $1000
512 GB is $16.13 per 16 GB x 31.
Got iPhone 5 and iPad 4 both in 64gb. With lightning, it makes syncing much more faster, but still a pain. I wish I could house my entire itunes purchased movie and tv show as well as music library on ipad.
I have placed an order for a new 27 inch imac customised with a 3TB fusion drive, now debating between an 13 inch Air 256gb and 13 inch RMBP 128gb.
I know come WWDC we will see significant increase In capacity, because apple are being stupid trying to suggest 128gb is enough storage In a 13inch RMBP (for any professional), and I'm wondering if they are going to quit playing this game, or do something before WWDC.. They will start at 256gb flash storage. It just kills me now to have to pay so much for 256gb when it will become the base model later on this year.

Quite. If others don't want it, they don't have to buy it.
To say nothing of some of us who are contractually required not to put some of our contact data etc on anything other than a mobile device that is encrypted, via a physical wire. Definitely not on a server that might be in another country!

Definitely not in the market for this - if I want that much storage, I'll take a laptop, especially since the price spiked for wifi and celluar versions.
If and when the Mini goes retina, I'll take a look (if the price doesn't go up), if not my iPad days are over.

What an outrage!A company offering more model choices that customers are FORCED to buy or not.But you saw right through their evil plan!
I would consider this price point more of a luxury iPad. It won't sell in masses. That's what the iPad Mini is for.
finally... now where is my 128gb iphone and ipad mini feel like they are screwing early adopters again when they'll introduce the next generation later this year

absolutely ludacris margin.

yes - i have the choice to get a smaller storage capacity. But that doesn't stop me from reflecting on apple's greed every time I have to juggle content in order to keep from running out of space.
I think you're paying a big, big price apple - in terms of customer good will - for the sake of some profit.

128gigs.. the new 64gig or Apple just squeezing another $100 bucks out of people? My guess is the 16gig should drop to $399, move the 128gig into the $699 spot by end of the year.

AT&T, Verizon, etc thanks you for this very profitable belief. Please continue to try to woo the naive into believing the streaming everything from the cloud is THE way forward. Meanwhile, AT&T, Verizon etc continue to pinch the tiers to limit how much one can get through their virtual pipes. That (up to unlimited storage in the cloud but tightening tolls on actually accessing it) can't end well.
Initially I was gung ho for the 128GB iPad. But after using my 64GB for awhile, double the storage would be nice however not at that price point. My iPad is mainly used for gaming/watching movies so he extra storage would be nice but not crucial. For that price, a MBA would be a more reasonable choice.
If 32 GB starts at $500:
64 GB is $100 per 32 GB x 1.
128 GB is $67 per 32 GB x 3.
256 GB is $43 per 32 GB x 7.
512 GB is $27 per 32 GB x 15.
I'm still thinking that the capacities will be 16/64/128 at the next update
Most people don't need more that 16GB. They did a similar thing with the iPod touch before the new one came out (8/32/64). With this apple gets to save them their little bit of money that they want and everyone who needs more than 16GB will be content(ish)
