Apple quietly updated its iPads with more storage, lower prices

Apple didn't mention the iPad once during its two hour iPhone 7 keynote today, but that hasn't stopped them from updating the product line.

Every iPad Apple sells will now include a minimum of 32GB of storage. Gone are the old 16GB models, which was a ridiculously small amount of storage to begin with.

The iPad mini 2 is now available in only 32GB, getting rid of the 16GB model. The iPad mini 4 is also getting simplified, getting rid of the 64GB option (you'll have to choose between 32GB and 128GB). The 128GB iPad minis cost $100 less than they did previously.

iPad Pro 9.7 and 12.9 inch are also getting a price cut, with the 128GB models dropping $50 and the 256GB models dropping $100. The price changes seem to only affect US customers for now.

Here's what the new US pricing for the iPad line up looks like:

For reference, this is the old pricing:
