What i can’t get my head around is the limitations in storage.
256GB maximum is a joke - and no, i don’t want a Pro since the form factor is what makes the mini work for me.
Packaging aside, i doubt this is an engineering driven decision and well… walk away highly disappointed not ordering one.
Otherwise it’d be perfect.
If there’s ways of offloading video footage (lightroom for photos does work ok as a buffer) for editing-apps i’m more than happy to hear about alternatives other than adding it to your photos library or files.
I have an iPad Prod with 256GB of storage and it is currently only using 70GB.
It sounds like your phone has 32GB, no?
I made sure the Pixel 5a had at least 128GB. I think 256GB for ipad mini is a good amount for a consumption device.
