I am trying to help an elderly family member decide on a new ipad. They currently have an air 2 which is fine and they will still use for travelling, but the fingerprint sensor doesn't work for them as their fingerprints are quite worn. They are wanting a slightly larger screen and apple pencil. Not sure if the second gen finger print reader on the newer models is any better for this. The new air has just been released but only comes in 2 sizes. I felt the 64Gb was too small considering their current air 2 is also 64 Gb and they currently use between 40-50 Gb. But the next size up is 256GB, which is significantly more at $1099. They are willing to spend around that amount as long as it lasts them at least 3 years like the air 2 has. But I was looking at the ipad pro 11 which has the all new  and more modern design, face ID (which would benefit them) better screen with pro motion, better speakers, face ID, better camera etc, more ram, faster processor  and it is only around $160 more on special than the air 3 in the 256GB model. But the downside is that it is only 64GB at that price and the 256GB model is another $350. Also it does lack a headphone jack, and I have heard some can suffer from bending issues. . I am wondering if anyone else is deciding on which of these two to purchase, and which one makes sense. Is 64GB too little diskspace for an ipad in terms of future proofing it? Their first ipad was the ipad 2 nearly 10 years ago, and the one they got was 64GB back then! If the air came in 128GB and was a couple of hundred cheaper to make up for it, that would be a winner, but it doesn't. They certainly don't need 256Gb, 128Gb would have been fine. In terms of use, they write emails, take the odd photo, watch ondemand tv on it, use pages and numbers etc. So not high demand stuff, but they would benefit from a larger screen that also had better sound, and both models do provide better experiences than the ipad air 2. My concern with the air 3 is that it is a dated design that hasn't progressed much since the air 2, only 3Gb of RAM and slower processor than the A12X for futher proofing speed, no  promotion display and I think they would benefit from face ID rather than having to type in the passcode each time. What do others think?
