Yes and 16gb was barely enough memory to manage over the last 3 years. With the ever increasing file sizes (and application size after updates), you'll be lucky to make 32gb work for the next 3 years until the next stipend. Ben Dwyer has been coming into RGS and telling a story about Foreflight making a push to convert airlines over to their charts/app for a competitive fraction of the Jepp price. Apparently they've recently expanded access to international charts and have the ability to integrate company charts easily (which is pretty believable considering they're 4-5 years ahead of Jeppesen). Dwyer also said he reached out to Jepp after being approached by the Foreflight sales team and their response was essentially, "it's not on our radar." Foreflight has an awesome application, and I'd love to see the change, however their app does take up a considerable amount of memory (definitely more than Jepp). If we go Foreflight in the future more pilots will be running into iPad memory issues.
