iMore

Right now I'm contemplating getting a new iPad Air 2 to replace my iPad 3. However, I am debating between getting the 64GB or the 128GB version. My current one is 64GB and I have used around half of it (including the iOS software itself which uses around 8GB of the space already)

I use my iPad quite a lot. Mostly to store data/files/photos and occasional music/videos (which I organize regularly). I do surf the web as well as use it to play a few games and a handful of social media apps. I also like to use it as my personal portable library (I like to read, A LOT - better than lugging around tons of books). Other than that, I sometimes read the newspapers and magazines (which I usually delete once I'm done anyway so not that big of a deal) on it as well.

I would like to hear your opinions. Is there any big difference aside from the capacity? Possible lag? Etc.

Thank you for listening and commenting.
