Hi

I just ordered the iPad Air 2 128GB iPad now that it's cheap on apple.com I can't wait too get it even no its been out a few years now I find no need for the iPad Pro version right now

So if you are in the. market and need a iPad the air 2 with 128GB is the best deal in town you can get for a 128GB iPad for $499

And the cool news is it comes per install with IOS 10 and I still have my old case for it when I had the iPad Air 2 be for I this find 32GB way too small if any thing. They souls have got in rid of the 16 and 32GB and keep the 64Gb 128Gb and 256Gb model but oh well

Why do you need more than 32GB? I mean, I had a 128GB iPad Pro and I am happy I sold it and bought a 32GB one. My uses are mainly as a streaming device with casual gaming.
 
I've got a 64GB Air 2, and I've never used more than twenty percent of my available storage RAM. 128 would be a complete waste for me.

Some people like storing a lot of music, videos, games, etc. on their devices?

yeah, I guess so. With better streaming services my need for storing content is less and less for the iPad. On the other hand, I need plenty of space on my iPhone for all apps and songs.

Not everyone uses their devices in the same way that you do and one way is not necessary superior to another. If streaming everything was the absolute best solution for every person, there wouldn't be a market for 128 and 256GB iOS devices.

I stream a lot of content myself, but that doesn't do me much good in environments where I cannot connect to some type of data network. On one occasion I actually purchased a show from Apple and once they stopped offering it on iTunes my access was cut off. I was eventually able to get it back, but local storage is the only way to prevent loss after a distribution license expires.

Ok
 
i have some of my star trek shows and 32GB is way too small for me so 128GB will be this about right
[doublepost=1473886889][/doublepost]my new ipad air 2 128GB ipad has shipped and i will have it on thursday
 
Got a refurb 128GB Air 2 earlier this week for $A749. Would have grabbed a 64GB one and saved a few bucks, but they didn't have grey in stock at the time. Still, the Air 2 has proven a big step up from my old mini 2...
 
The IPad Air 2 is perfect! Really, satisfied after 1 year and 4 months owning it.
[doublepost=1473983381][/doublepost]I have a feeling that the Air 2 will be the longevity model , like the IPad 2 was

Wife and I each have 128gig. Both love to have all our photos available, and that is 56 gig and rising.
 
I've had a 64GB Air 2 for a few months now & really like it. Enjoy your new iPad, nice storage space you got there
 
Had a 128GB iPad 4, replaced it with a 64GB Air 2 Cellular. Preferred that extra 64GB if I'm honest! I use the cellular so infrequently.
