I agree, another point that article is missing, is that buying extra 16GB of memory will give you more mileage compared to base 16GB. That is because significant portion of base 16GB is occupied by OS and required apps.
So adding 16GB does not double effective storage, more like increases it by 2.5-2.75 times.
- tedunangst 13y agoMy 16GB model has 12.8GB free. A 32GB would have 28.8GB free. So more like increases it 28.8 / 12.8 = 2.25 times.
- TrainedMonkey 13y agoAfter running some numbers I am coming up with even less. Using 28GB of formatted storage (see link below as to why) I get 28/12.8 = 2.1875* . While this is way lower compared to my original estimate of 2.5, that is still higher than factor of 2 which is what we would expect from simply doubling storage. http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-31747_7-57404587-243/why-my-new-ipads-storage-doesnt-add-up/ http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-31747_7-57404587-243/why-my-new... * This number heavily depends on what you count as required app, for my iPhone for example GPS is a must which chews into storage fast.
