Just bought the 10th gen but only 64gb. For $30 and now 7% cash back for later delivery had to pull the trigger on this. For the kids and as much as I tried to convince myself 64gb will be a pain.

Does it bother you that you're taking a step back from iPad generations?

If I was using for demanding processes, yes. They are currently using a gen 2 iPad Air and a Samsung tab a6 that gets the job done, so I have to trust this is leaps and bounds better.

My 12 year old has been on a gen 8 for 3+ years. It's holding up really well despite it having the slightest curve in it… he somehow bent the metal body frame but not enough to stop it from working. 😂

I bought the 64gb version for my 9 year old for Christmas for 199. is this worth the upgrade. Im past the return window on that one so would have to figure out another use for the 64gb

I bought 10th gen too at Costco last month for $299 but later Costco price matched and gave $50 and tax back.
I am looking at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6rgAFKjoNs to increase the storage using external SSD.

Yea, it's easy to do. I'd highly reccomend external storage with power as it eats battery. I professionally use an iPad Pro for photography and have a plethora or external options. These options however are not ideal for kids or anyone that is moving about with thier iPad. Fine if you are stationary when using.
