Apple has officially announced a new iPad boasting 128GB of internal storage, the most it has ever offered on an iDevice, Digital Spy said.

The 128GB model has the same specs as the fourth generation iPad that was released last October, and comes in WiFi-only or WiFi + 3G/4G connectivity.

It offers twice the storage of the previous top-end 64GB model, enabling users to hold even more photos, files, documents, apps, music, TV shows or books.

The 128GB iPad 4 will be available from February 5 in black or white, priced in the US at $799 (£507) for the WiFi model and $929 (£590) for the WiFi + cellular version. It will be sold at Apple Online Store, Apple retail stores and select Apple Authorized Resellers.
