Why is only the 128GB iPad mini 4 offered?

We use 37 iPad mini 2, and some iPad mini 4 tablets. Memory is 16GB or 32GB.

We want to buy more, but the Apple store only offers a very expensive 128GB iPad mini4 with 4G.

We only need 4G with 16 or 32GB, and are only willing to pay roughly half the price that is asked.

So we want to pay less than € 350 instead of € 536 (exclusive VAT).

Can you tell us if a model with smaller memory and lower price will be released in the near future?

We love the iPad mini, but not at all cost!

You force us to switch to Android?

Thanks,

That is the same price you paid when you bought the smaller capacity ones. Apple simply priced the 128GB ones at the price point that they had the 16GB (and later 32GB) ones at before. In the US, they were priced at $529 for 16GB with Wifi+Cellular, and now the 128GB is at $529 for Wifi+Cellular...

Nobody on here knows what Apple's future plans are.

This is true for Wi-Fi+cellular which the OP referenced. Apple never offered it with cellular for that little...
