Hi,
I already own an 128 GB iPhone and 128 GB MacBook Air. I deliberately upgraded iPhone to 128, because I knew photos and especially videos are quite heavy. And since I have a computer I don't need to load all my tasks and data into iPad.
I am not planning to take photos or videos on iPad though, but I will be taking a lot (like up to 5-10 pages of A4 format a day) of notes with Apple Pencil, reading PDF documents, casual drawing in Pixelmator (which is iCloud enabled afaik), maybe color correcting some photos taken on iPhone again with Pixelmator.
No movies (in the last 12 months I downloaded Netflix shows to my phone for off-line only once). No games (I have just one causal game that I open once in 3 months).
However, I do not know how much handwritten notes taken with apps like OneNote or GoodNote can be in size. Of course I won't store offline copies of all notes I will write in the next 5 years, but most probably I will need the most recent (6 months) with me.
What I feel is that 64 GB shall be enough for years to come for this scope of tasks, but I want to make sure those handwritten notes won't be like super high res PDFs 50 megabytes each. I owned a 32 GB iPad in the past, now my mom uses it, and it always had and still has about half of storage utilised by apps and the other half she uses for a few movies on the road.
Upgrade to 256 GB will cost 160€ and I don't feel like it's worth for my workflow.
