iPad Pro What size do you have? 32GB or 128GB?

Sometimes finances dictate things - that $150 can be hard to find sometimes in tight budgets - my Pro is a very very focused iPad now with exactly what I need and no more - I do wipe iCloud Drive from time to time to free up space on the device, it's not an easy thing to live on, but doable
I havent bought mine yet, but I am leaning towards the 32GB version as of right now.
I mainly just need to fit all the apps I need on the ipad. I dont really do video files since I rather watch my movie and tv shows on the even bigger screen. Music, I listen to podcast, pandora, and only my current music files. I dont jam everything I have in there.
Finally, I will have some pictures, but the 32 will be sufficient for that.
I did have the 32gb on launch day but returned today for 128gb model. Even with 40 or so apps there was around 15gb left and for me who plans on having this two years I cant live with that as there is bound to be cool new apps down the line that are designed specifically for the pro.
And on the other hand 99% of the people will never use 128GB.
Its more like Apple fans on MacRumors like going big or go home. Nothing wrong with it, but there's also nothing really wrong with 32GB. 32GB is not 16GB which is just stupid.
I'm currently running the 32GB model for now. I have about 12.5 gigs of space left. I had issues with the space when I was traveling to Asia and loading videos temporarily. The storage went down to 5.5 gigs with a few movies on there.
The 32GB is not a big deal as long as I had some time of wireless solution for the external storage but it failed during my pilot run.
I really wish they made a 64GB + LTE. I just feel like I will never use 128GB...Now I'm trying to justify if I even need the 128GB of memory and just stick with the 32GB

It sounds like you'll be fine for awhile. A big
maybe. But os updates take space over time. And if you even need 33gb, you're screwed.
I purchased the 128GB LTE and man am I glad I did that. I already have more then 32GBs filled and I have just begun. If they made a 32GB LTE I would have mistakenly purchased that. I have never owned a iPad with LTE and it was time.
Just ordered Ipad Pro 128gb LTE today! Wont ever buy an apple device lower than max gb. My iphone 6 plus is half full, so why would i get 64gb? Also ordered ipad mini 128gb to use as phone too
32gb here, used for browsing, reading PDFs, and few minor apps. Anything serious I need a laptop.
I still have 19gb free
I wouldve went for the 32GB also if I didnt want the LTE, plus it was on sale on Verizon.
Im quickly finding out that I don't need all this storage.
I think 128GB should be the entry price point and then if there is a higher model that has 4x the GB it would be 512GB...and even if that was the case I would still buy the 512...I always max out my iOS devices.
I'm hoping iPad Pro 2 will come with 64GB and LTE then I might buy one only if Air 3 does not have a wow factor!
32, and the price was not a huge factor. Just seemed wasteful to buy more than I'll ever use. I'm really only writing and editing text, not storing any media here. That's what my RMBP is for. Even with 4 gigs of photos that are destined to go back into the cloud, and a whole slew of new and favorite apps, I have 17 gigs left. I'd have to do a lot of aimless doodling on notability and even procreate to make a dent.
My iPad 4 is 3 years old and has 16GB, and I'm still under capacity without culling any of the apps I don't use. Why would I need 8 times as much in the next 10 months? If I find myself needing more, I'd rather spend the extra $150 upgrading next year than hoarding storage now.
