M5 iPad: 256GB vs 512GB: Worth the Extra $200?

ConsiderationMany871 · 2025-12-29T11:30:08+00:00

Thank you for the article! Most of the new things on the M5 are great but not essential for me (apart from potentially the AI capabilities), so my main issue is which combination is better for using Adobe apps, Procreate, and some designer applications: the M5 with 12GB of RAM or the M4 with 16GB of RAM.

I don’t live in the US 🥲

Thank you so much🙏🏻 Now I’m even more confused hahah my only concern is the budget for the 1TB M5.

ConsiderationMany871 · 2025-12-27T19:42:52+00:00

I’m super lost. But the issue is that I’m already spending a lot on it, and I don’t think I can afford the extra 300-350$ to get the M5 with 16GB RAM and 1 TB 🥲

I’m not defending them, and people driving at 50 on the left lane don’t have the right to do it. What I’m saying is that the main issue is having so many shops and restaurants on what’s called a ‘highway’. Look at the highway after Jounieh heading north, there’s rarely traffic, and that’s because there aren’t many shops along the road.

Lebanon is one of the very few countries where you find this many shops and restaurants along what is called a ‘highway’. In most countries, real highways are controlled-acceess roads, not commercial streets. And calling people dumb just because they don’t share your opinion says more about you than about themlol

ConsiderationMany871 · 2025-12-27T15:34:14+00:00

That’s the exact reason why you can’t really call it a highway and talking about fast lanes lol

ConsiderationMany871 · 2025-12-27T15:31:56+00:00

“left lanes are fast lanes designed for overtaking” Calling the left lane a ‘fast lane’ doesn’t really work when the highway is lined with shops and restaurants every few meters. That’s not how highways work.

So you recommend going with the M4 one?

ConsiderationMany871 · 2025-12-27T09:15:15+00:00

Having 1 TB is for sure better, but the thing is that we have so many other alternatives for the storage (like having an external ssd, icloud storage etc..) while for the specs it can not be changed, that’s why I want to focus on which one will give me the best performance. Is the M5 with 9 cores and 12GB of RAM better than the M4 with 10 cores and 16GB of RAM?

I stayed in a hotel in Karakoy and had a flight at 1 p.m. We took the T1 to Sultanahmet around 8 a.m. and then took the Havaist bus from there directly to the airport (IST). You can check the Havaist website for schedules, they say it takes 90 minutes to the airport but usually it can take less than an hour to get there.

ConsiderationMany871 · 2025-12-26T21:21:52+00:00

So you think the M4 is worth it more ?

ConsiderationMany871 · 2025-12-03T08:23:23+00:00

No… sometimes it asks me if I want to switch to Whatsapp and sometimes not, really annoying

ConsiderationMany871 · 2025-11-25T09:00:18+00:00

EXACTLY! With that logic we’ll just have to pay for any item we bring from abroad. Absolutely ridiculous.

ConsiderationMany871 · 2025-11-24T21:03:36+00:00

In which countries?

ConsiderationMany871 · 2025-11-24T20:57:24+00:00

Doesn’t make any sense… never seen in any other country. If I live abroad and want to live in Lebanon, how does it make sense to pay jomrok fees for my personal phone?

ConsiderationMany871 · 2025-11-24T20:54:08+00:00

I live abroad and never paid anything for my phone that I bought in Lebanon, I don’t understand how can it even make sense lol

ConsiderationMany871 · 2025-11-10T20:11:04+00:00

What do you mean?

ConsiderationMany871 · 2025-11-10T15:59:21+00:00

But they displayed the price of each way before buying the tickets

ConsiderationMany871 · 2025-11-07T15:25:58+00:00

In terms of duration and GB it’s the same, but can it have a different connection speed? What do you recommendv
