The 1TB storage option on the 11-inch iPad Air (M2) 2024 can hold at least 201,800 JPG photos when stored at standard resolution and compression[1]. This estimate assumes that the photos are in JPG format and are compressed to a typical size of about 2-5 MB per photo, which is common for images from modern smartphones[1]. However, the actual number of photos that can be stored may vary depending on the file format, resolution, and compression level of the images. For instance, if you store photos in RAW or uncompressed formats, they will occupy more space, reducing the total number of photos you can store.
Additionally, the iPad's storage capacity is subject to change based on software updates and other factors, which might slightly affect the available space for storing photos[5]. Nonetheless, the 1TB model provides ample storage for a large collection of photos, making it suitable for users who frequently capture and store images on their device.
