Hello everyone,
I've used an iPad2 with 16G since 2011, and now want to upgrade tot the new iPad5.
16G was adequate storage for my needs, but here's why I'm wondering about stepping up to 128G with the new iPad:
Last year I upgraded to iOS9, only because so many apps I use (travel, online banking) were no longer supported in iOS6. I have regretted it greatly. My iPad became painfully slow, to the point where I give up waiting for things to load (or stop crashing) and run upstairs to my desktop.
So, I want to get a newer iPad, solely because apps I use are no longer supported on the iPad2. .I obviously keep my devices for a long time, so my question for your consideration is:
Will a 128G iPad be more amenable to iOS upgrades over the years - I mean, was the 16G storage part of my problem with the iPad2 iOS upgrade? Was there just not enough room for the new iOS to maneuver?
Or is it more a matter of the processor, or some other factor.
Thank you for any thoughts you have to offer,
Tommy
