I have an ipad mini 1 16 GB wifi only. Which I actually liked a lot. I had it for a long time but recently it started being kind of slow after the software update a few months ago. It was annoying that I had to constantly delete apps to make room for other apps but it was pretty manageable. I never used it to take or store pictures.

Because of the slow down I wanted to get another tablet. I stuck with the ipad mini again this time I got a 4 with 128 GB wifi only. I love it! I never have to delete apps. I have a lot apps, also a lot of game apps that are fairly large and I still have over half of the memory free. I also don’t use this to take or store pictures. If I was in a bind and I happened to be holding this ipad while the LOs were doing something super cute, I have used it a few times to take the picture or video which I would back up somewhere else.

Recently though, I learned about amazon underground because LO liked this cut the rope games but I’m terrible at those games and with amazon underground you unlock this dumb fairy thing that solve all the puzzles unlimitedly where on the apple store it’s like 50 bucks for EACH game. I’m terrible at cut the rope and it was very flustering but LO saw a friend play this game and wanted it but also wanted me or DH to beat the hard levels. Anyways I got the 50 dollars fire tablet for this reason. Dumb I know! But I did the math and we would save some money this way.

The Fire only comes with 8 GB and so I think I paid another 30 dollars for 64 GB mirco SD card (I think you can get a 128 GB but I think that was 50 dollars – as much as the tablet?! But I didn’t think I needed *that* much). Anyways I like it a lot! It has totally saved me money on the games LO likes to play because of the underground stuff. Also I found out that I get to “borrow” a kindle book for free with it so that as a pleasant surprise. It looks like I wasn’t taking advantage of my amazon prime. Haha.

Edit - the one thing I don't like about the fire... is that you can't store everything on the SD card. For some reason some games will only settle on the internal memory and you can't move it to the SD card... probably the developers thought that it would run best off the internal memory. So I have ran into some cases where I needed to manage the internal memory recently.

We have old iPad minis for the kids. Wifi and 16gb each.
We recently bought a 12" iPad Pro, 128gb, wifi only. It's more than enough storage since we use it to browse the Internet and watch vids on your tube (for now).

32gb and it can hold a ton! I can't live with 8gb and 16gb can only last so long (my old phone) so I think 32 gb is plenty.

@bluestriped bee: we have the 64 gig ipad and I'm glad we went for it... especially when traveling, we can download LOs fave movies & shows from Amazon right onto the ipad and don't have to deal with needing WiFi!

@bluestriped bee: No, but I don't store videos except what I take on the camera. I have over a hundred apps (mostly kids- maybe even close 200 apps) on there and am not running out of space.
