That's my guess. A 128 GB model was overdue and 16 GB is no longer adequate for many people. But of course if you just bump up the storage in the existing models, you're giving away more FOR FREE, and you'd also have people whining about how they spent an extra $100 just last month to get the same amount of storage.

Maybe it's more like, Apple realizes that people are upgrading their iPads every 2 or 3 generations, so by making those generations quicker they get those people to upgrade more frequently as well.
