Ipad air 64gb or 256gb

Hey, I want to buy the ipad air but can’t decide which storage space to take.

My main use is Netflix, notes, amateur photoshopping, calendar organisation and mostly administrative activities.

Will the 64gb be enough, or should I get the 256?


tnx ppl

Only you can answer that, I'm afraid. The difference is space. So it's one thing to tell us you do amateur photoshopping, but how much? One shot per week? Or hundreds? Do these images then reside for ever on the device? Or are they moved on from there? From what you describe of your other activities, 64 is fine.

As others have already observed, only you can determine if 64GB is adequate for your needs.


By modern standards, 64GB storage really isn’t a lot. It’s really easy to use this much storage without trying. Even if you keep most of your data elsewhere, downloading and manipulating images only to work on them, you are very likely to exhaust available storage.


Consider that you cannot add more local storage to you iPad. What you have is with the iPad for the life of the iPad. It’s better to find that you have more storage than you need, than to need more storage than you have.
