By Neil Hughes

For the first time ever, Apple's iPad lineup is now available in jumbo-sized storage capacities of 256 gigabytes, for both the 9.7-inch and 12.9-inch form factors.

The iPad Pro lineup is available with 256 gigabytes in the 9.7-inch size for $899. Adding cellular connectivity ups the price to $1,029.

And the 12.9-inch iPad Pro has also been given a new 256-gigabyte storage option starting at $1099. Adding cellular to that model brings in a top-tier price of $1,229.

With the new flagship 9.7-inch model being rebranded as iPad Pro, the iPad Air 2 still remains, but carries a lower $399 entry price for 16 gigabytes of storage. Users can get 64 gigabytes for $499, but the 128-gigabyte iPad Air 2 has been discontinued.
