Anticipating a new iPadOS to take full advantage of the M1, I’m going with 256 this time
There should be a support group for people who repeatedly anticipate some sort of reimagining of iPadOS to have it line up with the power in the box. Any of us who have ever gone down that road are all Charlie Brown and Apple is Lucy with the football.
They may eventually get there, but I’m not going to make a purchasing decision in anticipation of it. I have a 2018 13” iPad that I’m still waiting on them to fully utilize.
