iPad Recommendations

Choosing the right iPad is essential for a smooth event experience. While Simple Booth is designed to be efficient, certain hardware specifications will provide better performance and photo quality.

WiFi vs. Cellular

We recommend an iPad with Wi-Fi only.

While Simple Booth apps work perfectly with cellular-enabled iPads, the Wi-Fi only version is often more practical and cost-effective. If you are managing multiple units or need to print, it is generally more reliable to run your event over a local Wi-Fi network or a dedicated mobile hotspot rather than relying on individual cellular chips.

iPad Storage Capacity

For most users, 16GB of disk space is sufficient. Because Simple Booth syncs photos to your online galleries, local storage needs are minimal.

However, you should consider a model with more storage if you plan to take a high volume of photos and want to save them directly to the iPad.

Camera Quality

Using a newer iPad with an improved front-facing camera will result in higher-quality photos. You can compare the front-facing camera specifications for all current models on Apple’s website.

Keep in mind that while the camera sensor is important, lighting often plays a bigger role in final image quality than the camera hardware itself.

HALO Hardware Compatibility

If you are using or considering Simple Booth HALO hardware, your choice of iPad is restricted by the physical dimensions of the device.

You must use a specific 11" iPad Pro model to ensure a proper fit within the HALO enclosure. Always verify your iPad's generation and dimensions before purchasing to ensure it is compatible with your hardware.
