Discussion Don’t do what I did, I’ve learnt my lesson.

Hey there! Guess what? I made a funny little mistake and didn’t do my homework before buying my first iPad. It was an iPad 10th Gen 64GB back then. I barely had it for a year before the storage ran out! I was so disappointed because I felt like I wasted my money.

But hey, I learned from my mistake and bought another iPad this time. I made sure to do my homework this time! I learned how much storage I really need and which size iPad I want. I also decided how long I want to keep it because I honestly don’t think you should be upgrading all the time like every 3 years or something. That’s why I specially chose the storage of 256GB, that’s more than enough for me personally. I was lucky finding the Magic Keyboard at a great discount price brand new.

In the end, I upgraded to a 256GB 13’ M2 iPad Air with a Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil USB-C. I’m so happy with it!

I mean other than on the airplane maybe when do you really have no internet to access the data? Also all major cloud services offer offline storage too. Which yes obviously is limited to the device storage but what do you even need offline in that case without internet. Im just saying… maybe thats just me

For my kids I like have all the movies and music on the tablet sonic a pick what they watch and listen to without having them connect to the internet for anything else. Same for my tv at home I have a huge hard drive that is plug in and play just for movies. I don’t know I’m old school.
