Ipad Air (32) vs. Ipad Air 2 (16)

Hi there,


can you please help me to decide, if I buy the Ipad Air 32gb or the Ipad Air 2 16gb? It's all a matter of money ;-D


I'm going to play some games from time to time (Deinstalling a game is no problem for me, if necessary).

Pictures or videos will also be on the ipad, but not that much.


The iPad will mainly be used in university and on train/plane/bus (= playing games).


So, what's the best decision?

As you note, the iPad Air 32 GB and the iPad Air 2 16 Gb are the same price. Having had a 16 Gb for 2 years, I'd never have that little storage again--just too much juggling and uninstalling. For another $100 you could get 64GB in the iPad Air 2.


The iPad Air is a fine piece of equipment so if you really can't afford another $100, go with the iPad Air 32GB. It'll serve you well and still have a resale value if you decide to upgrade.


But the iPad Air 2 is up to 68% faster according to benchmark tests.


And there is now a $20 educational discount On all models.

no change in performance

unlike computers where if one does not have enough memory it can swap to the storage than

in iOS devices you have the memory you got and thats it

a game use an amount of memory it was created to use so if

angry birds use 128MB of memory to run then it will run the same speed even you have 1GB memory
