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](/customization-guide/basic-setup/pair-a-gallery.md), 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](http://www.apple.com/ipad/compare/). Keep in mind that while the camera sensor is important, [lighting](/hardware-and-gear/lighting/simple-booth-halo-r.md) 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](https://app.simplebooth.com/devices). 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. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.simplebooth.com/hardware-and-gear/compatible-ipads/ipad-recommendations.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
