Ok, 20 GB tops then. šš
Jokes aside, you can easily see how much space is actually used on your iPad and take it from there. My point is that not everyone needs so much storage space and there are some workarounds.

I ordered the 16GB RAM 8 core CPU/8 core GPU iMac instead!
This was actually quite helpful. I've never owned an iPad and strongly considered getting the iPad Air last September. I held off, though, and now I'm considering the 11" Pro. While I don't need many of the extra features, I think it's a better investment and will be more "future proof." The 12.9" looks nice, but I alreayd have a 16" Macbook Pro, so I'm looking more for a portable/handheld device.
- I want a 256GB iPad.
- It's another Ā£120 to go from Air to Pro.
I use my 11" iPad instead of my MBP when portability is desirable. It's easy to grab and comfortable to use on the sofa, patio etc. and much easier to travel with. I get the LTE versions to avoid public WiFi.
Just curious, why use LTE on the iPad instead of tethering to your phone?
Apple explains what exactly the new iPad Pro is
In an exclusive interview, the companyās marketing and hardware chiefs explain the creation of the tablet ā and why they donāt want you to call it that

I think itās pretty easy to read through the lines from this interview to see whatās coming when they announce software in June. He canāt come right out and just say the pro apps will be released until WWDC or they wouldnāt have as much to announce and continue to drive sales/upgrades. Apple is also not shielded from the chip shortages completely and wants to spread out the demand curve. Apple said during earnings the other day chip shortages would impact 3-4 billion of bottom line iMac and iPad sales due to production not being able to meet demand next quarter. Just some things that stuck out to me recently with Apple.
āWe provided that performance even before the need was there, if you will,ā he says. āWhen you create that capability, that kind of ceiling, developers will use it. Customers will use it.
āIt needs to exist first, right? You canāt have an app that requires more performance than the systemās capable of ā then it doesnāt work. So you need to have the system be ahead of the apps.
āAnd our developers are pretty quick about taking advantage. It isnāt like, it languishes for years. Trust mem the Adobes and the Affinities and all the people creating pro stuff ā this is like music to their ears, they need this kind of power to have more capability to do more features.
āAnd what a great thing for our customers, by the way, to know that they can buy a system today that still has headroom. It isnāt going to be immediately obsolete, which is often the case if they buy an inferior product ā itās obsolete from the day they bought it. Whereas, you know, iPad Pros continue to have headroom.ā
(When asked again, the morning after the reveal, whether Apple is one of those developers that is planning to take advantage of the extra headroom with its professional app, Joz jokes that heās not going to let something like that slip out.)
What do you think?
Same. I'd just want to ogle at that new XDR display but other than that? I'd always default back to my Mac for the real work. I'm thinking about getting a discounted 2020 12.9".
In my particular case the battery of my MBP is toast and I do not feel like sending it off to repairs and paying over 200ā¬ to swap it, so it currently serves me like a very portable desktop. š Hence the cold booting.
Yeah I decided to replace my 2017 MacBook Pro with the new iMac. Ordered the yellow 16GB RAM 8/8 one. Iām pumped to watch videos and movies on that display.
thatās exactly what I think. I bought the 64 GB Air and though itās really nice, I have installed my main apps and Iām already at 30 GB of free space with no photos or videos, if I make the jump to 256 GB Iām only 23$ Canadian Dollars (Iām a student) away from the 128 GB Pro , which has better technology, more power and Face ID, so I am returning the Air and preordering the Pro
Thanks, I'll give that one a readApple explains what exactly the new iPad Pro is

"The iPad Pro has extended dynamic range when recording video up to 30 fps, and also features a brighter True Tone flash than the iPad Air."
Where is the iPad Air's true tone flash?
The iPad Air 2020 has no true tone flash.
It only has a retina flash which refers to the screen being used with the facetime camera but no flash on the back.

LTE works well and I don't want to run down the phone battery when traveling. Also like the option of using the iPad with LTE when the electricity is out here.
I thought True Tone referred to the screen (as in True Tone display), meaning pretty much the same thing as Retina Flash. But maybe Iām mistaken.
ALL places? And ALL positions?
Actually, Iām not 100% sure I want the answer to thatā¦
Iām probably going to be selling my 3 months old, 2020 iPad Pro wifi w/ 256GB. I want a cellular model. Dunno where youāre located, but Iām in TX. If youāre interested, send me a messageš
Same, me either. The only times I use my iPad for video is if my dogs are doing something goofy and my phone is out of reach/charging.
I donāt have $15k of camera gear though ā I used to shoot on a Canon mirrorless, and then upgraded a little while back to a Lumix. Need to find an adaptor so I can use my old Canon lenses!
Eh, itās more of a big iPod touch than anything, and an iPod touch is just a really small, stripped down, touchscreen Mac. And the Mac is just a really big Apple Watch, which is actually just a really small, wearable Apple Newton.
I hope weāre all confused now.
Yep. The only time Face ID on the iPad doesnāt work for me is when Iām too dumb to realize that my left hand is covering the camera.
FaceID on the iPad is even better than the iPhone because youāre further away usually from the iPad and it works in any orientation. Itās amazing when using Keychains for website and app passwords etc.
