So I think I'm moving from Android to iOS. Not getting into an Android v. iOS debate, I'm a huge fan of both platforms, I'm mostly switching due to lackluster camera options on Android and the 5S provides such a great camera experience, mixed in with editing software, it's perfect for me and my growing family. I'm one of those people that only uses a phone for picture taking. I picked up a used 32gb 5S and a used 16gb rMini on Swappa to help me make the leap. Most of my issue revolves around the storage of the rMini.
Anyway, on to the question. It's been awhile since I've been on iOS (~1 year) and there are a couple things that I could use some clarification on. I don't intend on putting much, if any, music on my iPad. I'm a Pandora, Google Music guy, and I'm sure I'll jump on the iTunes Radio bandwagon. So music isn't a worry. I play a few games, DeadTrigger, GTA series, and some other just quick time wasters like some of the Angry Birds. I have roughly 7gb of apps and whatnot on my Moto X, and that's all I need for my phone.
As stated above, photos/video is of the most importance to me. I don't plan on taking many pictures with the iPad, but rather sync my iPhone with it so that it would be even easier to edit, make videos, and whatnot. I also haven't had a 16gb product in quite some time, but I'm a little worried about storage. I HATE having to micromanage, but the deal on the iPad saved me about $220 over a 32gb from Apple.
Is this enough storage for my usage?
How easy is it to sync a video or pic to the iPad, edit it, and store it in the cloud?
Can you stream movies/shows from iTunes or do they have to be downloaded to the device? I have unlimited data and I pay for hotspot, so streaming connected to my phone wouldn't be an issue.
What about books? If I buy them from the store, do they take up much space or can you swap them back and forth in the cloud, saving space on your device?
Thanks, and sorry if this question is a little all over the place.
