No data, but iOS apps have gotten massive, caches have gotten massive and install a game or two and 64GB is gone. Not to mention that occasionally is nice to have a set of downloaded media available for vacation/travel and 64GB isn't enough to download week worth of content from Netflix. This is why this is so annoying - you're right, I don't need 512GB or 256GB. But I'd still like to have more than "You're out of space!!" amount.

Where is 64GB coming from?

  The base iPad Air model - the one the price is most quoted - is 64GB.

    No it’s not. https://www.apple.com/ipad-air/specs/ https://www.apple.com/ipad-air/specs/

      Not sure if you're pretending to not know, but all previous base iPad models were 64GB.

I've had the original iPad Pro with 64gb since it first released and have somehow never run out of storage. Maybe my problem is that I don't download games. I'd suggest using a USB drive for downloaded media though if you're planning to travel. All of the media apps I use (Netflix, YouTube, Crunchyroll, etc.) support them. That's worked well for me and is one reason I was comfortable buying the 64gb model.

  How do you get Netflix to use an external drive?

    Sorry, I thought I had done this with Netflix but I tried it just now and couldn't find the option. Then I googled it and it looks like it was never supported, I must've misremembered Netflix being an option.
