32G vs 128G iPad 8th gen

My mother plans to purchase an iPad 8th gen. Plans to use it mostly for finding/printing recipes, Facebook, email, reading. She does all this currently on her phone, but wants something bigger. Would the 32G be sufficient or do you recommend the 128G? Thx

I would purchase an iPad with as much storage as she can afford as iPads do not have expendable storage.

A 32 GBs iPad has a practical, usable, free data space amount of between 18-20 GBs.

A 128 GBs iPad has a practical, usable, free data storage space amount of 108-110 GBs.

Hope this helps with your iPad buying decisions.

Best of Luck to You!
