Oh, I wasn't actually bothered by your comment, I assumed you'd just got the wrong end of the stick. As for @del blame cougar, he went off on a tangent for whatever reason trying to justify his out of date anecdote and I dunno, just annoyed me.
Anyone know if it’s worth going for more memory in a 9th gen iPad or not?
Depends on use case, if you're going to load it up and travelling then yes. If you're sitting in the house and only faffing then maybe? Lower storage on iPads has never gone well for me so I'd go for the 128gb.
Crap answer I know but I took the 256gb option on my definitely not a tablet but only mentioning for context Pixel 8 as 5 years is a long time and I'd rather play it safe.
it's just for home use so i'll take it that the 64Gb one is ok for netflix streaming etc.
i know literally nothing about apple stuff other than it's OS' origins lie in unix so any advice is useful, thank you.
That would probably be fine, mine tends to get loaded up and stuff doesn't get deleted, mostly because the extra hassle of iTunes makes it annoying.
blame cougar, he went off on a tangent
I answered your question. Ain't my fault if it was a shit question.
I have a 10.5” iPad Pro that I bought new when they were launched, in 2017
Yeah, thought this was interesting.. cos mine is older

So they released a slightly larger screen version a year later, the swines. Would love a bigger screen.
Mines on iOS 16.7.2 and apart from the reduced battery life, is still a fab thing.

Really?
Did I really need to provide absolute context when we were already talking about tablets? Are you actually a 10 year old?
Your initial point iPads are significantly more expensive than the Pixel equivalent was wrong. Don't try and argue your way out, you're better than that
The 32GB base on earlier ipads was a bit limiting, but the 64GB base on the 9th gen is enough for most people. iPlayer/netflix/etc downloaded video for offline viewing is about 600MB an hour so you can have quite a few apps/games and plenty of video to watch offline while you travel.
If he can wait it looks like updates to the iPad range are coming pretty soon.

Lol, as I said I'm on 16gb but appreciate someone who actually knows weighing in.

This is a misunderstanding rather than intentional subterfuge. I was talking about "products" generally, you referred to "iThing" and I had no idea that a Pixel tablet existed.

I just had a cursory google. Seemingly the word "from" is doing some heavy lifting on both manufacturers' websites. The Pixel tablet is £500-600 depending on memory loadout. The iPad is from £500 also, up to well into four figures.
Plenty would disagree with you on that point.
