u are rite.

used by iphone 14 pro and pro max also.

and this 11th gen ipad is using the lowest end A16 which has the least amount of CPU and GPU cores than the above.

yup more worth to go for m3 ipad air instead...

it is confirmed that it has more ram..6GB. so it will make it to last longer and receive more no of iPadOS updates...

for me, i find that 128gb is sufficient. even for those ipad models support apple intelligence.

if u are using ipad to just supplement ur iphone in terms of entertainment like video streaming or casual gaming, 128gb should be sufficient.

but if u want to save a lot of videos for offline viewing and really do a lot of productivity work like photo or video editing, of course the more data the merrier.

for me, i opt for 128gb becos it is the cheapest and can meet my needs. can save the cost for next ipad purchase.

A16 is 6gb ram.

M3 iPad Air is 8gb ram what.

even m4 ipad pro is only 8gb default for base model, why won't a lower end m3 ipad air be bump up with ram?

indeed. at least go for 64GB, i never keep much stuff on my ipad (128gb) and never take pictures/videos also only left with less than 50GB...

for phone, i hardly clean up photos inside, but i only keep photos with human objects inside. the rest of photos, normally i just upload to my facebook and deleted away.

i had been getting bigger iphone years to years, from 128gb to 256gb to 512gb now. 512gb left less than 50gb now. and this is due to the fact that i had achieved the videos to portable hardisk.

i dun prefer to use icloud. instead i would rather spend the money for bigger storage which is the same in long run.

for my 128gb ipad, most things occupied it not photos/videos taking (becos as mentioned i seldom do it)
mostly some movies/musics i put inside the ipad for offline viewing purpose in the event of no internet like taking flights etc. if clean them up willl not occupy that much.

very cheap... given the price, i think nothing to complain about. haha.

yes, now buying from offline/online authorised resellers are all cheaper than buying from apple even considered in education discount..

now education discount is not attractive anymore...

and yes, even newer products can get discounts real soon.

Indeed. 🤪
