iPad Mini 4 16GB vs iPad Mini 2 32GB
I have a limited budget right now so probably won't be getting the 64GB Mini 4. Which one is better?
I mainly intend to be reading a lot of ebooks on this as well as browsing the web. I am really attracted by the laminated display (and color accuracy) as well as the higher RAM (device should last more and better multitasking, better switching between browser tabs), and the TouchID as well. I don't think the smaller weight really makes a difference though that's a plus as well. Doing split screen multitasking seems really cool. I intend to use other more powerful apps on the App Store too over time so I really like the Mini 4.
But just 16GB is definitely a big downside. I'm not going to be taking photos or videos from this thing so that puts less strain on the storage though.
I have a laptop too, and a phone with 32GB which has been comfortable so far. I mostly just want to be reading ebooks and browsing the web but also access to Apple's App Store so I'm pretty sure I want an iPad mini though I am not sure how much of a difference the Mini 4's upgrades really make.
Theoretically I should be able to survive with 16gigs and it's less crucial than in a phone (where low storage means I won't be able to take another photo) but I can imagine it being a pain to manage.
Which one should I go for? Will the Mini 2 be sufficient?
