Oh why did I wait so long to replace my ancient iPad? ruclips.net/user/postUgkxhcEDB3r-OJ3_X5hQzr7k1ZofTQy1ao_U This is a perfect size with perfect features. Like all my Apple products I am able to intuitively navigate my way around. I like the fingerprint button, though I have to update it from time to time. I purchased a bluetooth keyboard so I can use this to write more easily. And the price was outstanding. I take my iPad with me everywhere. It's my buddy.
I use the 11’ 2018 iPad Pro and it is great. I find the bigger iPads too big for me. I always go with the 64GB storage as all of my work is stored in iCloud Drive - never use more than 30GB. I also have the iPad Mini 6 as a 2nd device and great for sketching ideas. I’m thinking of up grading my 2018 iPad Pro to the new 2022 iPad Air as it has M1 and 8G of ram. I love your video.👍
I have a similar set up, except I went all out last year for the M1 iPad Pro with 16gb of RAM. I think the 11” is the sweet spot for a Cary and drawing. Used to have the 12.9” screens, but didn’t like it. To heavy to be a sketchbook. The iPad mini is appealing even easier to carry, and I do all my brainstorming there and start off my projects. Then i airdrop the files to my Pro if I need something more polished.
I think the m1 air has almost the same specs as the m1 11" pro.. except the m1 ipad pro has better refresh rates so you may want to look into that, too :)
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much. ❤️ I decided to get an iPad mini 6, because I can draw on screen of my computer when I’m at home, so I intend to use the iPad primarily for drawing on the go or casually at home. So the small size is a plus. An idea: If you want to get a feel of the sizes, you can get the measurements online and cut them out of cardboard. Then you can hold them and sketch on them. It is not completely the same, because there will be bezels and UI that take space up with a real device, but it gives you quite a good idea of how it will feel in your hand. :)
I've done exactly that while trying to decide on a model. I still haven't decided which size I like the most, but I'm very tempted by the Mini just for the convenience of being able to carry it around easily. And it can be held in one hand, so don't need a stand or table. Currently using a borrowed iPad till I make up my mind.
I've been loathed to ever give Apple money, but they've genuinely done good business by getting Procreate as an exclusive to their egregious money funneling systems. It's absolutely painful that there's not an equally competent Android equivalent program. 100 bucks for the Apple Pencil alone is just too scandalous for any casual drawer to justify.
@Loftivee I started using Procreate on my 2nd gen iPad Air. You don’t need the top of the line IPad to do that and since Apple has added the Apple Pencil to their lower priced models, that would be a great entrance point to both the device & the app. I had to use a stylus with my old iPad Air but really like the ease of use with the Apple pencil & my iPad Pro 2nd Gen. One difference between models is the number of layers you can use but I’ve not had an instance where it prohibited my using it.
this is SUCH an incredibly helpful video! You just helped me decide how to upgrade my ipad - which i was thinking about doing in the next year. 2021 model for sure! I love my 2015 model but really would like more layers when working big. The breakdown of how and why for different models, and your charts are invaluable. Thank you for all this!
thankyou so much, its so hard to find videos breaking down the best value across the iPad generations, its always just people reviewing the latest one or comparing the current pro, regular and air only, not the different generations.
Watched so many videos on ipads but I was still indecisive. Thank you for giving so many details with stats, that was so much helpful. I finally have a better understanding of which Ipad I should buy for my sister who wants to start digital art in procreate.
I've been watching so many videos to get a good perspective of which iPad actually best suits me as an illustrator and designer and the task ends up being very overwhelming and unclear. Your video was just perfect, very clear and to the point from the perspective of an artist which is exactly what I needed! Such helpful video Brooke!! thank you ❤
I think this is THE best product comparison video I've ever seen in RUclips. Much better than million subscriber youtubers. You must be a genius and I can't imagine how much time you put into researching and organizing the content. Anyways, thank you for this video. Now I have a much better idea what to buy for my daughter for this Christmas.
Thank you... Got a headache while choosing between air 4 or mini 6... I am quite new to digital art, this comparison really helps me alot, thanks a bunch
Thank you so, so much. I really want to get one, but it's overwhelming understanding the differences between all these models, and I knew some had layer limitations! This cleared things up so much, and I'll gladly wait until I have saved up enough for a good one. The only thing I'm still left wondering is which of these have a noticeable parallax. But, 95% of my doubts have been cleared!! Thanks again!!
The 2021 iPad Pro 11” is an absolute weapon M1 chip and pro-motion and still pretty portable, only downside against the 12.9” is the slightly lower brightness but it’s considerably cheaper
I have the largest ipad pro and i find the size amazing for art, I'm not cramped or straining my neck, it's easy for the eyes. It is annoying though needing a bigger bag to bring it around but I don't need to bring it out much.
I recently just got the 2021 iPad Pro and the number of layers I got shocked me when i first saw it, then your video helped explain that! Very informative ^^ I love my iPad and am glad I got it
Thank you very much. I have seen many videos with this theme and I have been left with the same doubts as at the beginning. You are the first person who dispels my doubts and clarifies many things for me.
probably the best buying guide for drawing oriented ipad consumers and what ive been looking for trying to make sense of the lineup! Most just tell you u want more power for productivity and recommend the latest. As someone who has 0 apple devices this helped understand what to aim for. I think 2018 11' ipad pro might be my pick but also might be out of my price range still xd.
This may be the most useful thing I have seen on RUclips. Was gonna buy a new iPad - I am gonna start with my 2015 ipad Pro 12.9. Thank you. From here I'll see what's important. Thank you!
I have a 9.7" 2016 ipad pro which I bought used for about 400 bucks, and it's been going strong for 4-5 years already! I get tons of layers in procreate even with outdated IOS 10 or something. And I also have the 32 GB version only, and it only now starts getting low on space. So the "worst" pro is absolutely good enough. Size does not really matter since you can zoom. A huge selling point for me was that even if I rarely go out to use it on the go, I still can so easily take it, draw a minute, then put it to the side, and it's so tiny it goes anywhere without being in the way.
So helpful, Thank you! For me, the layers are the most important part, I do very detailed art. And the screen size, so I’m upgrading to the bigger model based on this video. I also value the cases that give you protection and a stand with it. I do not use any keyboard and I love my apple pencil 2.0
Thank you so much for this breakdown Brooke. Even though it’s from a year ago it has already been very helpful for me to decide what iPads to be looking at and what features to be looking for!
@@Emilia-zz7sc decided on the iPad Pro, 11” and love it! I can draw on it just fine, I don’t feel a need for the bigger one. It is used primarily for artwork in Procreate and it’s been a dream.
Glad it was helpful! I’ve made an updated video for the 3 new iPads Apple introduced this year, in case your curious about them too: ruclips.net/video/cjP95zyZXC4/видео.html
This video was suggested to me right after watching my own video! I am not interested in a new iPad. Your personality, your vibe made it an instant subscription! ❤️
Thank you!! You've answered so many questions I couldn't find answers to elsewhere. I've been trying to decide which Ipad to get for months, and this really helped!
So glad to hear! Just FYI, I just updated this guide yesterday, with the 3 new iPads Apple introduced this year: ruclips.net/video/cjP95zyZXC4/видео.html
Thank you so much for your recommendations! I've been trying to look into which one I should choose for my art, but I've gotten so many different recommendations and I've been so confused. I finally know which one I'll be saving up for, thank you again!
This was very helpful. My daughter is 13 and showing a lot of artistic talent. I believe it is time to invest in this area for her. I will be looking into more of your videos so she can get her feet wet in digital art.
I actually JUST updated the video today, in case your looking for any new insights. The info in this video is still relevant, just a couple new iPads that Apple introduced this year. Here’s a link to the video: ruclips.net/video/cjP95zyZXC4/видео.html
What other creators use what (year, gb, etc.) iPad do they use. For those who do not understand(&don't care to understand) the space, camera use, speaker sound or anything that doesn't affect the artwork on the screen as it's being drawn
This has to be one of the most useful. informative vids I've watched in a long while. Thank you for posting it. As a result I'm going to check out your S/Share classes. Excellent job. And yes, I'd be interested in a review of ipad case, keyboard etc. PS. Oh oh, I see that I've saveed 2 of your S/Share classes. So many great vids to watch, so little time 😊
I am 81 and know NOTHING about iPad. I am considering buying an iPad and buy one of the less expensive ones. I'm looking at your recommendations and just say thanks for your advice.
Great video! Love that you made it so simple to see how many layers you can have with each model! I've been looking for something like this for a while! Greatly appreciated! I'm very curious how the new iPad Air will compare👀
If you’re deciding between the M1 iPad Pro and the M1 iPad Air, I think it comes down your screen size and storage size preferences. If you don’t mind the smaller screen size and you’d be happy with 64GB storage, the iPad Air is the cheaper choice, for neaaaaarly the same quality iPad. But if you’d want to get the iPad Air with the 256GB storage, you may as well pay a little bit more for the iPad Pro and get a handful of better features. Of course, all that is just my opinion. :)
@@BrookeGlaser It makes a lot of sense!😊 Screensize and space isn't my biggest concern, due to coming from a 10'2 2019 regular iPad. You say it's mostly the same? Is the amount of layers the same? Because that's my biggest struggle on my current iPad😅 Thank you
Tricky place to be! Your tech still works good but there's something better out there.. although if you feel like you want a bigger screen, that's a great excuse to get a newer iPad! :)
I have an Apple Pencil. But I also have an alternative that is under $25 and works just great. Except for pressure sensitivity which isn’t in a big issue with me.
I have the iPad Pro 9.7 (1916, I think) with 256 gigs. While I'm not able to get as many layers in Procreate, I still am enjoying this iPad quite a bit. Sure, I'd like to upgrade sometime in the future, at this time and in foreseeable future I can't afford it. I feel fortunate that I was able to afford this iPad a few years ago.
i use a drawing tablet and im so used to drawing on my computer but im considering an ipad solely for convenience lol sometimes i just wanna draw while im out :/ though i can definitely just bring my laptop around with me thats 2 separate things i gotta carry around
Hahaha this is huge ! thank you, just been wondering if I should invest in a new iPad recently. I now realize I have started my professional artist career with the worst iPad ever for making art (reg 2018) that I have been using for 4 years now
I have the iPad Pro 12.9” 2017 and very happy with it, but it is hard to carry around. It replaced my iPad Air 2013 (not procreate compatible), I carried it in my bag every time I gone out. The 9.7’’ screen is an okay size screen, and thinking maybe my next one might be a 11” screen, for I can carry it around, in my normal bag. I still use my iPad Air as a screen screen; to watch tutorials, for photo reference. The 32GB storage in it (which I upgrade from a 16GB), was not enough storage for regular use. I use a iMac as my computer. I enjoy using my iPad as a laptop. Ideally if Apple made a bigger iPad then the 12.9”, I would get it as my main workhorse iPad and a good 10-11” iPad as my travel iPad.
I'd love if my iPad could replace my computer, but I don't think it would work for the things I do on a computer (like heavy video editing and working in Photoshop/InDesign/etc). But I certainly talked to people who used the iPad as a computer replaced! I think it really depends on what kind of computer activity you do. With the right keyboard set up, the iPad is really easy to use!
I feel like the 2018 iPad Pro 12.9 1TB is the best bang for buck! As someone who is just getting into digital art but wants to practice it seriously, do you think it is worth it to go for a newer model, or am I right in thinking that the 2018 model as mentioned is a great choice? Is the difference negligible, or do you think shelling out the extra few hundred dollars for the 2021 pro is worth it for a beginner? Thanks!
This has been great! One more thing though, the original iPads didn’t have laminated displays like all the others which gave them a gap between the actual screen and the glass you’d touch. Would that matter when it comes to precision or feel?
I've been tempted to buy an ipad and I feel like I should go for a medium size so it's small enough for me and small enough to put in bags etc, but I have not thought of the apple pencil. I might get a stylus that's basically like an apple pencil, but I have been told it's better to just get an apple pencil if I'm getting the ipad.
That's GREAT news! Would you mind sharing what version of iOS your using and much storage your 6th gen iPad mini (2021) uses? The ones I tested at the Apple store had 64 GB and ran iOS 15.1 and only got 7 layers at that size canvas. So happy to hear yours is able to get more!
im using an ipad i guess im not an artist that is why i pick this 8gen last year because of and i bought baseus alternative apple pencil its also great experience on me i dont need an expensive stylus just to draw things on my ipad im really good enough for this writing experience nothing difference between on apple pencil its still same can dictate or annotating the notes and writing toughts and ideas on ipad is just easier which is more convinient to me
Excellent and well thought out video on the topic! I have a 10.2 from 2020(i think) and i LOVE it. Its so portable and inexpensive plusi have a laptop and a monitor in my home studio. I do wish it had more storage. I doubt ill need to do any crazy work while I'm travelling.I paint traditionally but draw and plan using procreate, so if my work was primarily digital, i would definitely scale up in size and space for more layers and storage.
I'm buying a new one within the next month. I set my limit at $1000. I'm torn between the air and the pro. I'm not a professional. My art is a hobby that I love. I've also never owned an iPad before. The better camera and extra speakers are not a big deal for me. I don't plan on taking pics with it and I usually use my Bluetooth speaker. Are the other differences worth the extra money? I know it's not a lot, but I just really hate to break my budget if I can help it. Also, is there an intro to procreate class you can recommend or can I find tutorials on RUclips to learn how to use it efficiently? I am very technologically inclined and learn quickly visually.
Thank you for this break down! I was looking for a way to separate them out. I currently have the Android ecosystem and need to do some things in Apple for my 2 different businesses.
Less layers you say? When you have mouths, nose, eyes, eyes pupils, hair, arms, legs, hands, feets, toes, character clothing, etc... as you can see those numbers start to add up real quick! Especially for animation how many layers do you think you would need for serious and complex work? Do you think then that you would need something with less layers then? If I'm going to buy expensive devices like an apple device i better get my money's worth!

Thanks for this comment. I almost got the 256gb "normal" iPad 2022, but I have all on icloud so. yes. Good luck with Your art ! 🙂
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much. ❤️
I decided to get an iPad mini 6, because I can draw on screen of my computer when I’m at home, so I intend to use the iPad primarily for drawing on the go or casually at home. So the small size is a plus.
An idea: If you want to get a feel of the sizes, you can get the measurements online and cut them out of cardboard. Then you can hold them and sketch on them. It is not completely the same, because there will be bezels and UI that take space up with a real device, but it gives you quite a good idea of how it will feel in your hand. :)
Such a clever idea with the cardboard!
@@BrookeGlaser Thanks. :)

I have the iPad 9 gen! Works great
This really helped me thank you!
this is such a helpful video! the only one really comparing all the older models for art, thank you so much!
This is exactly what I was looking for , thank youuu!
Great info, I've been considering picking up an iPad for myself so this was very timely!
Exciting! Glad the video was helpful!
Excellent video! Whenever I hear someone needing help in choosing an ipad I will 100% send them your way. Definitely helped me! Thank you!
Great video!
Love that you made it so simple to see how many layers you can have with each model! I've been looking for something like this for a while! Greatly appreciated!
I'm very curious how the new iPad Air will compare👀
If you’re deciding between the M1 iPad Pro and the M1 iPad Air, I think it comes down your screen size and storage size preferences. If you don’t mind the smaller screen size and you’d be happy with 64GB storage, the iPad Air is the cheaper choice, for neaaaaarly the same quality iPad. But if you’d want to get the iPad Air with the 256GB storage, you may as well pay a little bit more for the iPad Pro and get a handful of better features. Of course, all that is just my opinion. :)

It makes a lot of sense!😊 Screensize and space isn't my biggest concern, due to coming from a 10'2 2019 regular iPad.
You say it's mostly the same? Is the amount of layers the same? Because that's my biggest struggle on my current iPad😅
Thank you
Well, I believe it has 8 gigabytes so would that be 41 layers?
Thanks a lot for the review, really really helpful to choose correctly
Thank you so much for this breakdown. Extremely helpful.
Thank you sooooo much for this video, dear Brooke!! It is so helpful!
Thanks a lot Brooke, I was confused with which one should I get, the pro or the air, I've been searching for an advice like this, thank you
This video was so informative thank you! I’m looking for an iPad for university to study digital art, this was very helpful :)
I use the 2018 6th gen iPad. And still love it. 32gb. Can’t afford a newer ipad right now. I use this one.
Is this good for clothing designs ?
Amazingly helpful, thank you! It helps me so so much with my buying decision.
I still use my 2017 pro 10.5 inch but I’m still compelled to get the 2021 ipads
Tricky place to be! Your tech still works good but there's something better out there.. although if you feel like you want a bigger screen, that's a great excuse to get a newer iPad! :)
`Just trying to decide which ipad to get. This helped a lot. Thanks.
I have an Apple Pencil. But I also have an alternative that is under $25 and works just great. Except for pressure sensitivity which isn’t in a big issue with me.
What is the brand of your alternative pencil if I may ask? Thanks!
Great work! Really just the kind of review I needed to see.
Thank you so much, you talked about all the things I needed to know
I have the iPad Pro 9.7 (1916, I think) with 256 gigs. While I'm not able to get as many layers in Procreate, I still am enjoying this iPad quite a bit. Sure, I'd like to upgrade sometime in the future, at this time and in foreseeable future I can't afford it. I feel fortunate that I was able to afford this iPad a few years ago.
Even those 'old' iPads are still amazing! So much better than trying to draw on a tablet and look at a computer screen.
dang they had ipads in 1916
This is the best information video I have seen thank you so much it is so useful as I wanted to buy an iPad for my daughter who likes drawing ❤️
thank you so much for this, it was really helpful
Thank you so much!!! This video was amazing 🖤
i use a drawing tablet and im so used to drawing on my computer but im considering an ipad solely for convenience lol sometimes i just wanna draw while im out :/ though i can definitely just bring my laptop around with me thats 2 separate things i gotta carry around
Thank you so much for all the information ♥
Wow excellent video, thank you very much 😊 this is everything I needed to know.
So clear and helpful. Thank you.
Tysm u saved me a lot of money and time
I'm so lucky to have found this site, very informative, even for this old girl.
Hahaha this is huge ! thank you, just been wondering if I should invest in a new iPad recently. I now realize I have started my professional artist career with the worst iPad ever for making art (reg 2018) that I have been using for 4 years now
really informative video! i appreciates your efforts
I have the iPad Pro 12.9” 2017 and very happy with it, but it is hard to carry around. It replaced my iPad Air 2013 (not procreate compatible), I carried it in my bag every time I gone out. The 9.7’’ screen is an okay size screen, and thinking maybe my next one might be a 11” screen, for I can carry it around, in my normal bag.
I still use my iPad Air as a screen screen; to watch tutorials, for photo reference. The 32GB storage in it (which I upgrade from a 16GB), was not enough storage for regular use.
I use a iMac as my computer. I enjoy using my iPad as a laptop. Ideally if Apple made a bigger iPad then the 12.9”, I would get it as my main workhorse iPad and a good 10-11” iPad as my travel iPad.
I'd love if my iPad could replace my computer, but I don't think it would work for the things I do on a computer (like heavy video editing and working in Photoshop/InDesign/etc). But I certainly talked to people who used the iPad as a computer replaced! I think it really depends on what kind of computer activity you do. With the right keyboard set up, the iPad is really easy to use!
Very informative session. Thank you.
Great video. Can never look up art on i pads without being sent to the newest model
Amazingly helpfulllll
Such a helpful video! Thank you!
Wonderful explanation 👍🏼
I feel like the 2018 iPad Pro 12.9 1TB is the best bang for buck!
As someone who is just getting into digital art but wants to practice it seriously, do you think it is worth it to go for a newer model, or am I right in thinking that the 2018 model as mentioned is a great choice? Is the difference negligible, or do you think shelling out the extra few hundred dollars for the 2021 pro is worth it for a beginner?
Thanks!
if you are just getting into it. why not the iPad air 2022. it got the same m1 chip for a cheaper price.
This was a very good video. Thank you!
This has been great! One more thing though, the original iPads didn’t have laminated displays like all the others which gave them a gap between the actual screen and the glass you’d touch. Would that matter when it comes to precision or feel?
It will affect accuracy, but you can adjust to it and work around it.
Thank you, i want to start getting back to art/digital art and editing (I’ll just get a mac pro for the editing) i was thinking the 4th gen air
I would certainly be interested in a future video of accessories.
I've been tempted to buy an ipad and I feel like I should go for a medium size so it's small enough for me and small enough to put in bags etc, but I have not thought of the apple pencil. I might get a stylus that's basically like an apple pencil, but I have been told it's better to just get an apple pencil if I'm getting the ipad.
Hi the max layers at 16”x16” at 300 dpi in an iPad mini 6th generation (2021) is 19 layers.
That's GREAT news! Would you mind sharing what version of iOS your using and much storage your 6th gen iPad mini (2021) uses? The ones I tested at the Apple store had 64 GB and ran iOS 15.1 and only got 7 layers at that size canvas. So happy to hear yours is able to get more!
@@BrookeGlaser yeah I’m using iOS 15.1 with 64GB as well
That was really helpful
So happy to hear! :)
Great video! But you dont mention external screen connection...
im using an ipad i guess im not an artist that is why i pick this 8gen last year because of and i bought baseus alternative apple pencil its also great experience on me i dont need an expensive stylus just to draw things on my ipad im really good enough for this writing experience nothing difference between on apple pencil its still same can dictate or annotating the notes and writing toughts and ideas on ipad is just easier which is more convinient to me
Excellent and well thought out video on the topic!
I have a 10.2 from 2020(i think) and i LOVE it. Its so portable and inexpensive plusi have a laptop and a monitor in my home studio. I do wish it had more storage.
I doubt ill need to do any crazy work while I'm travelling.I paint traditionally but draw and plan using procreate, so if my work was primarily digital, i would definitely scale up in size and space for more layers and storage.
I'm buying a new one within the next month. I set my limit at $1000. I'm torn between the air and the pro. I'm not a professional. My art is a hobby that I love. I've also never owned an iPad before. The better camera and extra speakers are not a big deal for me. I don't plan on taking pics with it and I usually use my Bluetooth speaker.
Are the other differences worth the extra money? I know it's not a lot, but I just really hate to break my budget if I can help it.
Also, is there an intro to procreate class you can recommend or can I find tutorials on RUclips to learn how to use it efficiently?
I am very technologically inclined and learn quickly visually.
thank you :) this was helpful!
The Apple Pencil 2 is very good for art work
Thank you for this break down! I was looking for a way to separate them out. I currently have the Android ecosystem and need to do some things in Apple for my 2 different businesses.
Less layers you say? When you have mouths, nose, eyes, eyes pupils, hair, arms, legs, hands, feets, toes, character clothing, etc... as you can see those numbers start to add up real quick! Especially for animation how many layers do you think you would need for serious and complex work? Do you think then that you would need something with less layers then? If I'm going to buy expensive devices like an apple device i better get my money's worth!
Thank you very much!!
