Despite all the myriad storage options Apple offers with its iPads, we have laid them all out in a simple way for you in this article. We take a look at how much iPad storage you'll need to taking you through the different things that take up room on your device.
Then, we look at the different storage options and which users they are suited to. By the end, you should have a clear idea of exactly how much iPad storage you need to meet your individual needs.
If you're in the market for a new Apple tablet, then also see where to get the best iPad deals and what the best iPad stylus and best iPad keyboard is. And for extra storage beyond Apple, see our pick of the best cloud storage options. While many of us take heaps of photos and videos with our phones, it is less common to use the more unwieldy iPad to document our lives. That said, you may still need storage for your photos and videos even if you never take a single photograph with your iPad, provided you have enabled one setting: iCloud Photo Library.
This feature syncs everything in your Photos library to every device where it is enabled. That means if you have thousands of pictures and videos on your iPhone, iCloud Photo Library will copy them to your iPad, taking up space.
Before deciding how much iPad storage space you need, check how much is being consumed by media on your iPhone. If you have tons of content that will be synced, you might need more than the base 32GB or 64GB storage options. If iCloud Photo Library is disabled, this is less of an issue. If games are your thing — and your iPad is going to be one of your main gaming devices — then you will likely need a decent amount of storage.
Games can take up a lot of space, especially if you want to play high-end, AAA games from major developers. If you only play games occasionally, or mostly stick to short, simple games, 32GB or 64GB will be enough for you.
But if you have an overflowing games library combined with photos, videos, and other content, you might want to look at GB models or above. You might find yourself in the same boat, where storage space may not be too much of a concern since streaming apps do not store their large media files directly on your device.

Feb 2, AM in response to fosterm In response to fosterm ebooks don't take up much space - and books bought via iBooks can be copied onto your computer so they don't have to remain on the iPad, and Kindle ebooks are linked to your Amazon account so can be re-downloaded; I don't know about other ebook providers. Movies, especially if HD, can take up 1 to 2 gigs each; but again you don't have to keep them on your iPad - you can keep them on your computer, and make backups of them iTunes movies, TV shows and music can't be re-downloaded from iTunes so external backups are advised.
Photos are 'optimised' by iTunes prior to transfer onto the iPad so should take up less space than on your computer. That said, 32 gig will probably be enough.
But as you can't increase the capacity once bought, I'd go for the 64 gig if you can afford it - it's always best to have too much space than not enough. Reply Helpful Thread reply - more options Link to this Post. User profile for user: SirBlue SirBlue.
