Hi, going to get iPhone 5S and iPad 5. Not sure what GB size.

Context :

Student, at college. Work with lots of photos. Have 2Gb in textbook pdfs. Have about 15 gb itunes library, but mainly listen to about 4gb of that. Plan on having a fair few movies on the iPad. Take alot of photos on iPhone. Not crazy on apps, but like to have the entire iWork/iLife suit.

(Apologies for the wrong poll in the other thread)

Glad you got it fixed ;)

Me I'd always go for the cheapest memory option available as I like getting the best value for my dollar and really dislike the idea of paying $100 extra for 16GB of flash memory. I'd rather go with an external hard drive that has built in wifi to manage my photos like this. Only $99 for 500GB :eek:

Why does have to have bigger storage on iPad? I'd be content with 32 on both.

That's what I currently have and I'm more than happy. Although I rarely do anything with movies and music on my iPad, just a ton of apps and photos. I primarily use my iPad for consuming web articles, reddit, and books.

I'd easily fill 32 GB up. I have quite a few HD film, which are 4GB each. Plus music videos, music etc. And I plan to sync my entire iPhoto library. So 32GB iPad just isn't an option.
