Got my 13 Inch 512 gb yesterday.initially I decided the base model would be enough for me but I instantly took the plunge for the 512 model after I saw it for 190€ off I in a german shop I trust. so got 512 gb for only 50 eddies more I initially planned to invest for the 256gb. double the ssd speed is nice to have.

All fine so far, only owned one iPad previously, an ancient iPad Air 2 that I wasn't really using anymore, so I'm obviously pretty blown away by everything :D but not really by all the iPadOs 26 glitches that hopefully will be ironed out...

I am returning my 256 13 M5 for a 1TB 13 M4. And not it's not a mistake.
For me the tipping factor was the worse speakers (although the M5 ones are more than fine for most people), 12GB RAM would have been enough (8GB weren't), but at that point I'll gladly take the additional 4GB and more storage too. In exchange I gave up cellular since I am keeping my cellular 12.9 M2 for trips.

PS got the (new) 1TB M4 wifi for $100 more than the base M5 cellular
I had read somewhere that the speakers were the same in the M4 vs M5. You are saying they are not? Has that been confirmed anywhere?

I am saying that I still have both (will be returning the M5 next Monday) and that the M4 is louder. I have no idea if they are the same and tuned for lower volume on the M5, or different, but the volume is clearly different. Apple never said that the M1 was louder than the 2018 or 2020 pro, but it was louder and fuller. The difference between M4 and M5 is not as big, but is clearly there. I have compared them many times and not a sigle time I said they are the same, or I have doubts. I posted a video recently in one of my comments by the way (comparing M1, M2, M4 and M5)
