Buying three products

Liquinn said:
Sure. A 128GB iPhone would be useful to fit more music on and photos. The same reason I want to update my 2012 iPad (to have a bigger storage). The mini would be a fit in between?

My experience with the mini is that it can be less stable - i.e. it can drop the signal - re wifi than is the standard iPad; however, it is supremely portable. Only you can answer the question of what it is that you want (or need) from such a device.

It'd be good to have 128GB of storage in my iPhone for my music and photo collection. Same reason for buying the top end storage Air. I can fit more on it. 16GB is too small.

Oh, you're the "Why do the products look better in the store?" poster, _now_ this thread makes sense.

So just to clarify, you're going to be sitting around doing +stuff+ on a big phone, while doing some kind of photo related something on an iPad Air 2, while surfing on a Mini 4 in addition to whatever *stuff* is being done on the 2015 MBA 13" and 2015 rMBP 15" models in your sig - and I'm assuming this isn't in any kind of professional capacity[?]

Well, look. The iPhone 6+ will be strapped to the head to do phone stuff; the iPhone 5S is, like, totally useless, so it'll be framed and displayed prominently; The iPad Air 2 will be for the right hand; the iPad Mini 4 will be for the left hand; the iPad 1 be for the left foot; the iPad 4 will be for the right food; the 13" MBP will display MR; the MBA will stream all the Apple Keynotes on a loop; the 15" MBP will be a dedicated Steve Jobs shrine; the 2011 Mac Mini will be used as a coaster.

Totally reasonable.

Have you considered also having the iPad Pro? It's going to be great for stuff
 
The iPad mini 4 is £70 cheaper online than buying from Apple direct.

You only get 110GB?

The storage inside is partitioned, the 128gb is used for boot, recovery, apps, and what's left is the space for your apps and data. Plus, it's like buying a 500gb hard drive, we're still dealing with x bits in y bytes.
 
I have an iPad Air and I can't even figure out a good use for it. I'd take my MacBook or iPhone 90% of the time over an iPad.

That said, I'm not sure why you'd 2 new iPads in addition to 2 existing models. Perhaps sell off the old ones.

At the beginning of the thread it looked like you don't even have enough money to afford these without using credit. This isn't a waste of money--- it's a waste of money you don't have. If you're waiting for your mother to pay you back... why not be patient and buy each item when you can actually afford to do so.

I'm still baffled why anyone would need 2 iPads and an iPhone. But to each his own. For the amount of money being spent here, I think a MBA would be a better deal.
