Apple for the day

Doug Aamoth has a Time article about the latest from Apple:

Starting on 5 February, Apple’s latest-generation full-size iPad will be available with 128 gigabytes of storage. Current models are available in 16-, 32- and 64-gigabyte versions, with prices beginning at $499, $599 and $699, respectively.
The 128-gigabyte version will start at $799 for the Wi-Fi-only model, while the model featuring either an AT&T or Verizon 4G LTE cellular connection will run $929.
As a refresher, Apple’s iPad pricing structure is as follows:

iPad with just Wi-Fi: $499, $599, $699 or $799 for 16, 32, 64 or 128 gigabytes, respectively.
iPad with Wi-Fi + Verizon/AT&T: $629, $729, $829 or $929 for 16, 32, 64 or 128 gigabytes, respectively.

As you can see, each model costs a hundred dollars more and doubles the storage of the one before it; models with cellular connections cost $130 more than the Wi-Fi-only models with comparable storage. Aside from increasing storage, however, there are no additional performance gains for spending an extra hundred dollars on the next-highest model.

Rico says it's a nice little break from all the gub problems and, if he could afford one, he'd buy it... (An iPad, not a gub.)
