How much storage you need depends on how you use your iPad. More room means you can store more apps, music, movies, and books. It also lets you create and store images, videos, illustrations, and more.
Over time you may add more content to your iPad, so you’ll want to think about how your storage needs may change.
Storage is measured in gigabytes (GB) and terabytes (TB).
Note: Available space is less and varies due to many factors. A standard configuration uses approximately 12GB to 17GB of space, including iPadOS 15 with its latest features and Apple apps that can be deleted. Apple apps that can be deleted use about 4.5GB of space, and you can download them back from the App Store. Storage capacity subject to change based on software version, settings, and iPad model.
