Going from 1 TB to 2 TB SSD on this iPad is somehow $400? That is a clown price but it is a 50% discount on going from 512 GB to 1 TB. What the actual fuck?
All of Apple’s M series chips have the ram right on the same package as the rest of the SoC. Not upgradeable, but also much faster than traditional off-package memory.
Funnily Apple marketed their slower ram as something better in the nineties when memory speed was king. Now when nobody cares about memory speed (I bet most people confound bandwith with speed, forgetting latence too) but we all like to have lots of it because we use lots of programs & apps, Apple is doing the reverse.

Going from 512GB to 1TB is also going from 8GB to 16GB RAM.
8GB should like be illegal, lol. Wonder if you can upgrade it (or is it soldered) or if it’s just for the landfill.
