Report: Apple prepping a 128GB version of the fourth-gen iPad

Still waiting for a 128GB iPad? One could come sooner than you think. According to 9to5Mac, Cupertino is preparing to add a new SKU to its fourth-generation tablet line up, slotting next to the existing 16GB, 32GB and 64GB configurations as a premium model. A source at a well known US retailer shared the devices’ SKU information with the outlet, marked up with internal Apple terminology that described both WiFi-only and cellular-capable slates in black and white facades. The devices’ description column features a lone adjective, too: ultimate.

9to5Mac couldn’t confirm that the description meant a 128GB model was inbound, but the assumption seems reasonable enough — developers are finding references to 128GB iOS devices in iOS 6.1 beta code, and icons for the size were found in iTunes 11. Moreover, “good,” “better” and “best” have all been used to describe different iPad configurations in the past — ultimate seems like the next logical step. Strong evidence, to be sure, but we’ll hedge our bets until we see something official. Read on to see the leaked SKU information for yourself.

It was less than eight months ago that Apple grafted a Retina display onto its world-conquering tablet, giving every other slate on the market resolution envy, while enchanting gadget lovers with world-class performance and battery life.

Now, it’s obsolete. Put out to pasture just as it was hitting its stride and replaced by this, the fourth-generation iPad — still just called “new iPad.” Other than a Lightning connector on the bottom it’s visually indistinguishable from its predecessor. Even its starting MSRP of $499 stays the same. But, on the inside where it counts, is the new, fire-breathing A6X processor. Could this be possibly worth buying a second new iPad in just one year, or could this perhaps be the one you’ve been waiting for? Hold on to your wallets and click on through to find out.
