Advice wanted: 64GB or 256GB

[muchospanish]

I was also worried about the same issue. However I have the 32gb first gen pro. I was able to get by with that so I’m thinking that I’ll save the money and go with the 64gb. I have cloud storage from both one drive and iCloud. The only thing I would really need the storage for is for photos. But with cloud storage it pretty much helps alleviate that issue.

Same exact story: the extra would be just for photos. I wouldn’t end up backing them up on an external hard drive (if iOS ever allows it) since I travel a lot so I can’t think of any other reason to go higher than 64GB.

I got 64 GB and have 48 GB free. I have 67 GB’s photos but they store in iCloud Photo Library so it really doesn’t use any storage for the photos.

That’s like me. Do you every wish you had a second backup for your photos?

 

[Garz]

Nope. Been using iCloud Photo Library since it launched and never had an issue so I don’t store them anywhere else.

Value wise and re sale 64GB is better, Apples storage is ridiculous and makes no different to usage and what you can do, i just use iCloud for photos and videos. 4G is a must though, no GPS with wifi only and tethering is a pain. We get data share between all devices on our account so don't have to pay for seperate data plan.

I have 100gb but they are also on my iMac and backed up on hard drives.

You are right. You won’t get dollar for dollar back on the additional storage.

This is so true. I decided to return mines and get one through TMobile so I can use it independently without tethering. Heading out to the store today to do the swap.

I can’t store apps in the cloud and there isn’t always a good enough signal for videos or I might be on a plane. I could go with a 128 but not 64.

I have 48 GB’s free to store movies. I won’t have any issues there.

I just bought the 64GB 11-inch and maybe because there’s no home button, it does look like a computer. The screen feels HUGE! I had a 9.7 before.

One disappointment is the charging brick. I travel a lot and have the international adapter kit but the new charging brick doesn’t have the slide-out piece. Apple sells a USB-C one for $50! Instead, I bought a $12 USB-C to USB-A charging cable that I can plug into the regular charging bricks.

That’s what I do but I also wish they used the brick with adapters.

I have exactly one week left for returns/exchanges and I think I’m going to upgrade the storage to the 256gb. I had my last iPad (the original pro) for two years and I think with this iPad I’m going to start editing my photos that I take with my DSLR on it. I feel that having the 256gb will give me more security so that I can freely upload those pics onto the iPad and not worry about running out of space anytime soon.

I think you’re right if you plan on importing photos from a DSLR.

Went to an Apple store today and picked up the 256gb! Was almost tempted to get the cellular but I don’t really need that.

Enjoy! I love mine.

Here’s a few pics I edited using the Enlight Quickshot app from my trip to Paris. This was the reason I upgraded to the 256gb so that I didn’t have to worry about running out of space for this hobby! Enjoy!
