The 1TB iPad Air (M2) 2024 is capable of storing a substantial amount of video content. Specifically, it can hold at least 5,045 minutes of 1080p HD video at 30 frames per second[1]. This is based on typical video file sizes, where 1080p video at 30 frames per second usually requires about 100-200 MB per minute[1].
To give you a better idea, if you were to store all your videos in 1080p format, the 1TB storage would provide ample space for a large collection of videos. However, if you prefer to film in 4K, the storage capacity for video would be significantly less, with the ability to store at least 2,018 minutes of UHD video at 30 frames per second[1].
The choice of storage capacity largely depends on your intended use. If you plan to store a lot of video content, especially in higher resolutions like 4K, opting for a larger storage size like 1TB is advisable. Additionally, if you also plan to store photos, playback, or other files, the 1TB model provides sufficient space for a diverse range of media types, including up to 201,800 JPG photos and 105,104 songs in high-quality lossy compression[1].
