What To Know
Screen Size
The screen size for your iPad Pro or iPad Air is entirely up to you, however each screen size option has its own benefits.
12.9" iPad Pro & 13" iPad Pro
- 12.9" & 13" screens are larger, and offer a more immersive experience
- With 12.9" iPad Pro models (3rd - 6th Generation), you don't need to purchase an alternate faceplate for Salsa 1 or Guac Photo Booth
- With 13" iPad Pro models, you don't need to purchase an alternate faceplate for Salsa 2 Photo Booth
11" iPad Pro & 10.9" iPad Air
- iPad models with 11" and 10.9" screens require less power when running off of alternate power options
- 11" iPad Pro and 10.9" iPad Air models are often a more affordable and cost-effective option, great for deploying multiple photo booths
IMPORTANT: 2024 iPad models and newer (13" iPad Pro and 11" iPad Air) are only compatible with Salsa 2 Photo Booth, and are not compatible with Salsa 1 or Guac Photo Booths.
What To Know
Wi-Fi vs. Wi-Fi + Cellular
Strong and stable Wi-Fi can be a luxury at an event, so having an internet backup plan can be a great idea.
While internet access isn't necessary to start an event, being able to provide the shared captures to guests immediately can be a delightful experience. Some clients choose to use a standalone dedicated hotspot device for their photo booths, but you can also purchase an iPad that has built-in cellular data connectivity, similar to a smartphone.
You can read more about supported carriers and how to subscribe to a cellular plan on Apple's website.
Note: AirPrint will not be available when using an iPad's cellular data. If you're planning to offer printing and immediate digital shares simultaneously at an event without Wi-Fi, consider using a dedicated hotspot device.

What To Know
Storage Capacity
Your iPad or iPhone's storage provides space for you to download the Fiesta iOS App, along with any other apps or files needed for designing and running your events.
The Fiesta iOS App will temporarily store captures on your device before they're uploaded to your Fiesta account, and for 7 days after being successfully uploaded to your event's Live Gallery.
Once the event is over and all captures have been successfully uploaded, they are stored on your iPad for 7 days, after which they are removed from the iPad to free up storage space for future events.
While iPads and iPhones are available in a range of storage capacities, the base model storage option is more than enough if you plan to use your device solely for running events.
