Apple has officially announced that it will begin shipping a new 128GB fourth-generation iPad. In a move to help consumers store more stuff on their iPads, the folks in Cupertino have doubled the capacity of the fourth-generation iPad to a whopping 128GB model.

With the increased storage, however, comes an increased price. The 128GB WiFi model will cost $799 and the WiFi + Cellular will set you back $929. There has been no change to hardware, just a bump in storage. The new models will be available for purchase from Feb. 5.

Here's the press release:
