We're whingeing about the new iPad Mini 6 storage options, so I'm not following how the iPad 8 or 9 storage options are relevant?Guys:
iPad 8 128GB for 430€
or
iPad 9 256GB for 509€
Brand new both.
iPad 9 64GB for 349€ available also, but might not be enough.

Ok, I got you. The only choices for the iPad 9, the Ipad Mini 6, and also the iPad Air 4, are 64GB or 256GB.It’s basically the same scenario, albeit with other prices.
Considering it’s not 64GB (it’s 50GB actually), don’t know what to do.
256GB is too much. I might live with 64GB. For me the price distance is 160€ in the iPad 9 case.
A huge factor is whether you use iCloud for all your documents and photos.Considering it’s not 64GB (it’s 50GB actually), don’t know what to do.

Case in point - you can't please everyone. LolThe true dick move is not offering the Goldilocks 128gb option. THAT makes this a classic Apple cash-grab.
64 is perfect for my needsIf it’s your main tablet then maybe get 256GB but if it’s just a second tablet 64GB could be enough.
I think many people are dancing around the root issue... it's not really the capacity of the base storage option that is the issue, but the exorbitant bump in price to go to the next storage capacity. If it were to cost $50 to go from 64GB to 256GB then I highly doubt anyone would complain about 64GB being the base capacity.On the face of it, having a 128GB option would have been the obvious one IMO, but I can kind of see why there's a 64GB option having read how a lot of forum users plan to use the device. I'm using it for note taking and media consumption, web browsing etc so I won't need a lot of storage space and if I do take it away somewhere I can't stream, I can still fit some movies on to it. So 256GB would be overkill.

They do it because people will pay for the greater storage if they feel they will need it. There's a similar thread over on the Reddit Surface forum where the price increase for more Surface storage is much larger than Apple's. Great profit margin. It's like the accessories sold by Apple and MS - big profit over the base product.
However, the mini can be stored in a bigger man’s bag and be everywhere with me.
The third-party iPad covers always seem to cover the edges, which I don’t like. Do you know any that are like the Apple folios?I'm just getting a case from Amazon. The official folio doesn't seem all that longer lasting compared to alternatives that are 10-20% the cost.
Sadly, there are none. There haven't been any 3rd party copies of Apple's OEM covers/cases/folios since the the smartcover design of the iPad 4 (the one with the metal swivel magnetic hinges). Apple cracked down on them.The third-party iPad covers always seem to cover the edges, which I don’t like. Do you know any that are like the Apple folios?

Look up "ipad mini magnetic case" on amazon. There are a few different magnetic cases available. Sadly, the color selection is pretty poor on most of them because they match the ipad air colors.The third-party iPad covers always seem to cover the edges, which I don’t like.

This is the one I got. It actually has a decent looking purple. I'd love to try the dark cherry folio case on my purple mini, but it's a bit pricey.P.S. Found one that's available immediately.

I’ve put the mini in my cart about 10 times with different configurations I just can’t pull the trigger. I’m sure this will sell well, but it’s still an iPad. At these prices- just get an iPad Pro or MacBook Air. I love the form factor. Maybe next time, Apple.
In conclusion the iPad mini is a goldilock device in size but with very non-goldilock storage options.
