Only because I hadn't used the two iPads that much for pics or videos, so when I backed up from iCloud there wasn't much content there.

They only had apps and a few videos, and the videos I downloaded to iMac.

Backing up to the iPhone 5 will bring in ALL of my photos and music and videos and movies.

Also, I went for the 64 GB to match the iPhone 64GB, sort of to keep the two devices paired, though I'm not sure that one will out-need the other in practice.

I think, too, that we should all be thinking about the cloud as our harddrive- I hadn't paid for extra storage in the past but it might be the only way to go for security and reliability.

Love the hand-held size of this mini!!!

Thanks, REP!
