MacDailyNews Take: Most people, if we had to guess, would find that 32GB is more than enough. Sure, there will always be some (but maybe not enough in Apple’s eyes) who want to take as much of their media as possible with them. Maybe Apple learned something about customers’ buying/usage habits with the first two iPad models that precludes the need to produce an iPad larger than 32GB? iCloud, iTunes Match, etc. also help, of course.
Imagine if Apple could hit $299 for the 8GB iPad 2 model; forget about baths, the streets themselves would run red with the blood of Apple’s roadkill.
Come on Apple Inc. You have to be kidding!! No 64gb iPad 3? This cannot be true, I was hoping there may even be a 128gb package! Reconsider!!!!! ….. Please!
Let me get this straight, the iPhone 4S offers 64GB but iPad 3 won’t also why would Apple limit the amount of Apps a customer can purchase by giving them less internal memory, doesn’t make sense, highly doubtful.
Definitely need at least a 64GB. I bought a 32GB iPad 2 and can’t update the apps all at once because I don’t have enough memory. Have to do them individually.
Are you kidding ? I run out of space on my 32 GB ipad all the time. A few big games, some music and videos for CineXplayer and there’s only a few GB’s free. Then I travel and take pictures and it gets filled up very fast as I import pics and videos I take each day.
My next iPad whether its # 3 or 4 needs at least 64 GB.
I’m expecting a 128 GB model
