I actually emailed Tim Cook regarding the abrupt 4 month later introduction of the 256gb size shortly after the 128gb iPad Pro, and it seems like they took it seriously with the day 1 launch of the 512gb size, albeit at $200 more.
Despite the larger price increment, I’m glad it was a day one option - it’s a better situation than buying 256gb then seeing the 512gb launched even if it were at a $100 increment instead of $200 - you’d still be stuck with how to get rid of the smaller capacity iPad.
Of course, the increment is now effectively $250 instead of $200 after the price increase across the board....
It went up in price ?
