This is the first time I've ever bought an iPad that's not the top end model. I looked at the prices, and asked myself "is it worth spending nearly £200 more to get the 512GB model rather than the 256GB?", and the answer has be "no" for me personally.

I use my iPad for two main purposes: first and foremost as a PDF reader, and secondly as a photo viewer. I have about 40GB free on my 128GB iPad (and 160GB free on my 256 GB iPad Pro - I have essentially the same content on both), so in all honestly I can't see myself needing the extra 256GB. May as well save the money! I do always buy the version with 4G, because I travel with my iPad, and it's often useful to have the 3G/4G access when I'm in places with no Internet (or staying in hotels where they charge a ridiculous price for it).
