I am looking latest M4. Confused on weather to go with 256gb, 512gb, or 1TB version. This also feels like impulse buying so the thread or else I would have opted for 1TB :nailbiting:
any one doing any of this things? also should I get the WiFi or cellular unit?
I wished, if this could have been able to run XCode, would have replaced laptop but it don’t!
also should we think of buying a apple care ? was useless or me in my iphone case
Just for context, I have 2 iPad M1s lying around being useless. If I need to work, I use Macbook, If I need to watch something, I am on phone or on a smart TV. I couldn’t really find a proper use case for it, and hence its just lying around.
Had same issues with all past ipads - till I added the native folio keyboard.
Now I prefer picking the ipad instead of the MBP .
It might seem like a little thing but at least for me, it totally transformed my UX - to the extent that my usage is now 60:40 in favor of the ipad (my current model is M1 12.9)
Unless you have a very specific use case that needs lot of local storage, just get the 256. Anything over that is waste of money IMO
Just use part of that money towards a larger icloud plan instead (iOS auto manages the storage by offloading older photos/videos / files and retains only symlinks locally- you dont need to do anything manually as a user to periodically clean up space )
Wifi vs cellular is a personal preference - my last ipad pro (11) was a cellular
Then covid happened and since we were at home most of the time, I got a wifi model when upgrading.
I can’t say i regret it because auto latch on to the phone network works well - but it creates avoidable battery anxiety and an always on connectivity is much better if you move around.
if you are lazy like me, get the cellular else the wifi
