    People talk about Microsoft bloat, but Apple beats them hands down. I
    have a 5th generation iPad Air, 64GB storage. It was a good machine
    until it got an automatic upgrade from iPadOS 18 to 26. Now the OS takes
    up 26.38GB, and OS data takes another 11.2 GB, that's 58.7% of total
    storage just for the OS, and there doesn't seem to be a way to downgrade
    back to 18. Ridiculous.

    can you plug a thumb drive into it for storage? and I suppose they think
    most ppl these days use online storage
