Apple today quietly updated its lineup of older iPads, increasing the minimum storage on the iPad Air 2, the iPad mini 4, and the iPad mini 2 and lowering the prices of the maximum storage tier. The iPad Pro has also been updated with new pricing options, with Apple making storage increases more affordable.

The iPad Air 2 is now available in 32 and 128GB configurations, priced at $399 and $499, respectively, for the WiFi only models. Previously, Apple offered a 16GB model for $399 and a 64GB model for $499. Cellular models continue to be priced at $130 more than WiFi models.

Not a good sign for a 2016 iPad line refresh. Try again in spring 2017.

I can't believe the cellular option is still $130 more.

It's just a cellular data connection with GPS...

I can get cheap smartphones with GPS, cellular AND voice, screen, speakers, battery, memory, SD slot, camera and more for way less than that...

Apple adds value to the iPad lineup across the board and people still complain. OK.

This tells me that Apple has placed a truly massive order for storage to consolidate it across their entire product lines. Can't wait for the Chipworks and iFixit tear downs.
I hope this pricing reduction extends to future Macs

If they bring the price of the 9.7-inch iPad Pro down to $499 like it should be, then I'll bite. Until then, its not worth the premium over the Air 2.
