which ipad to buy

Nice, watching a movie in bed or on the couch. But do you find the screen of your iPhone too small and that of a MacBook too big? An iPad is the solution to your irritations. Now you have finally decided that you want an iPad. But the choice is so huge that you can no longer see the forest for the trees.

Watching movies, FaceTime with family and friends, answering emails on the way to work or checking the latest social media updates. The iPad is actually the big brother of your iPhone. A larger screen is just a little bit nicer for most activities. But which iPad suits your needs best? A few years ago the choice was quickly made, there was only one iPad size. Now there are several models to choose from. We list them for you.

Types of iPads

  • iPad: Do you want to look something up on the internet or watch videos on YouTube every now and then? Then the iPad is more than fine!
  • iPad Air: The iPad Air is for the average user. The iPad Air is great for online shopping, FaceTime, emailing, and checking the latest news. The tablet is also ideal for on the go. Its light weight means you can take the Air with you wherever you go, but it is also a perfect size for watching a movie on the couch at home or reading in bed.
  • iPad mini: If you don't want to spend too much on an iPad and you're not going to do exciting things with it like gaming, drawing and editing photos, then the iPad mini is a great device. The iPad mini is ideal for on the go and it fits in almost any bag. So are you planning to use your iPad mainly on the go for light tasks like surfing the internet and emailing? Then the iPad mini is generally a good choice.
  • iPad Pro: With more power than most PC laptops, the iPad Pro is the tablet for the creative multitasker. The iPad Pro is aimed at professional and creative users who want a lighter alternative to their MacBook. If you used to sit behind your MacBook to create illustrations and edit videos, you don't have to anymore! You can do it all on the iPad Pro.

Wi-Fi or Mobile Network?

When purchasing an iPad, it is important to know whether the iPad has a mobile network via 4G or 5G , or whether you can only use the iPad's internet with a Wi-Fi connection. An iPad with a mobile network has a SIM card slot, which allows you to use mobile internet while on the go. An iPad with a mobile network is ideal if you are on the road a lot, do not have a fixed workplace and Wi-Fi is not available everywhere. If you plan to use the iPad mainly at home or at a fixed workplace where Wi-Fi is available, then an iPad with a Wi-Fi antenna is fine!

How much storage space do I need?

It is also useful to think in advance about what kind of user you are. Are you planning to download a few apps and mainly surf the internet? Then the version with the lowest storage space, 16 GB, is sufficient! Do you share the iPad with other family members, for example, and do you want everyone to install their own apps? And do you use iCloud to store your photos and videos? Then 32 GB is fine! Do you prefer to store all your photos, videos, films and music on the iPad? Then go for an iPad with 64 GB of memory or more. Don't forget: the more memory, the higher the price. Too little memory is inconvenient, but it would of course also be a shame if you invest in an iPad with storage that you do not use. So think carefully about what exactly you plan to do with the iPad.
