#ipadpro
this is all i needed to hear. 11 inches it is. I think a larger canvas would be intimidating for me and trigger the perfectionist in me. 11 inch would keep it fun and light.
Same. I’m a perfectionist and the 12.9 would trigger me. Lol. I went with the 11 and upgraded to 258 gb so I never run out of room.
Hi how are you both finding the 11inch? I’m deciding out of the two sizes. I want it for note taking and architectural sketches etc
@@nishajassal1476 yeah its great. its portable. i do all my sketched there!
@@nishajassal1476 11 is the way to go. Unless you need the mini led display on the 12.9
@@nishajassal1476 I always go for 12.9 just because if you want a small ipad, get the Mini 6, but if you want a real iPad, get the nice big screen because we all watch movies sometimes and not just draw all the time. 12.9 is the ultimate media experience escpecially with the new Mini Led Screen
Does not matter how massive the screen can be, still gonna be zooming in.
True! 💯
😂
Preach
I rarely zoom in, as find it better to look at the entirety of the painting/drawing most of the time.
That being said, one can easily adjust to both screens.
Wow, you really... put things in perspective 😎
Down to a pixel.
I feel like 11 inches is more than enough, especially when you can just zoom in on specific parts if needed. The dealbreaker for me was simply which one was in stock (which was the 11 inches)
I also have got the 12.9 for the last few years and just now got the 11 inch. Gotta admit I love how much easier it is to Carry around. And I’m not missing the larger area so far. Plus it’s much easier to put in my bag for cycling to work.
i was thinkn of getn the larger screen but the 11 seems more practical,plus the few hundred ill save ill have to buy a case etc lol.
I have to admit, I made up my mind the moment you said two extra inches cost two extra hundred dollars.
Warren JB lol
Lmao 😆
I was thinking the same. But now I ordered the 12.9 and sell my 11, because the screen is actually a lot bigger. Also one day I plan on getting a keyboard for it, and 12.9" is basically the minimum size for a notebook. What annoys me the most, is that it is quiet hard to draw bigger things and whenever you want to draw anywhere else than the left edges, your hand cant really rest. I was even thinking on building something for it, like a little "put in" frame :D. With such a costy device it was not smart, to try saving money on that end of the spectrum. For someone who still does not want to spend this much, I would rather recommend to buy an older but bigger ipad pro, than an 11" 2020. The 2017 12.9 should be a better pick then :).
lmao
in Singapore, the difference between the 2 is $450..
I was at the Apple store when I watched this. Settled for the 11 inch. Thanks very much
SAME. Reading this from an apple store.
the 12,9 is just way too heavy. i want to be able to go outside with it easily
I feel like animation apps would benefit from that extra screen real-estate as you do need to have the timeline and tools visible most of the time. That said I still decided to get 11 inch to sketch on the go, in cafes and on the sofa, screen size feels fine when you actually try it and it's SO much lighter.
Im on the same dilema, im studying animation aswel.. should i go for the 11`?
@@ottovonweaboo6355 It's a very personal preference tbh. Animation software would benefit from extra screen real-estate, I think your best bet may be to go to a store and see both models and test them. I wanted something I could draw on on my lap and 12" felt too large for this purpose, my hands are small as well. You may want to see both to compare for your use-case. You can work in programs just fine, but what you need in an iPad may differ from my preference. I just wanted something that would not be heavy with a case on, 11 gives me that.
@@ottovonweaboo6355 I am literally in the same exact situation lol
true. though i’m sticking with the mindset of buying the best that i can afford at the moment and making the most of it. i’m getting the 11” :) eventually, my art will pay for an upgrade.
I still have the 2018 9.7 inch iPad, and it works great.
Same
I still have the 2014 Galaxy Note and I love it. 😆
Procreate layer limits make it unprofessional for real work, agree?
@R lack of layers
@@simeonpretorius4321 it depends on what kind of professional art you do, I think. iPad 9.7 2018 is my 1st iPad, & being a comicbook artist who mainly does pencil & ink work I was able to compelte several 20-page comics using the device, with each page @ 300dpi. However, if your work requires full colors &/or @ at least 400 dpi, then I would highly recommend upgrading to the iPad Pro so you could do more layers thanks to the higher RAM of the Pro. I actually just did that & bought the 2020 iPad Pro last week as I have just been tapped to do costumes for a local film & layers would benefit me well when coming up with several designs for each actor :)
I'll go for the 11 inches. I used to work on a PC and the monitor size was a bit over 20 inches and my eyes were getting lost in that. made my eyes tired of trying to find where I wanted to click on. So I upgraded to a 15.6 inch laptop and it feels nice to have a smaller screen and portable device. so much easier on my eyes. yes, sometimes a bigger display would be helpful if you're constantly zooming in and viewing a smaller part of the work each time until you zoom out to see the larger picture but I would sacrifice that for all the other benefits of a 11'. i also tend to use smaller sketchbooks the most, and portability matters to me. 11 inches seem more comfortable. thanks for the video.
>>>update: after seeing both models up close at the store, I went for the 11". The 12.9" is way too heavy and takes up so much space, you'll be wondering how to hold it correctly. My hands are slim and on the smaller side, so lifting the 12.9" was not comfortable for me. Wouldn't be a good "on the go" choice either bcs of its size. If you care about portability and comfort the most, go for the 11" you won't regret it. The screen size is perfect for drawing.
have you compared it with gen 10 size ?
I kept goofing back and forth. Finally chose the 12.9 I’m glad I did.
1:20 this! I'm having troubling choosing sizes but then I thought about my sketchbooks and realize that the ones that I feel most confortable with are small sketchbooks while bigger ones are always incomplete or messy in an ugly way.
this
@@DanielaRodriguez-wk6ii this
Getting the 11 inch pro. I want a light and bringable device. I tried playing with one (sketching and exploring) at a local apple store before quarantine and it got my vote. Thank you for this!
Thank you so much for this! I was really wondering if I should upsize to 12.9 inches from 11 inches and your video and the comments below made me realize I'll be just fine sticking with my 11 inch. Thank you again!
Really appreciate the comparison, thank you. This really helped make choosing between the two easier as I'd been contemplating getting one for sketching purposes - any animation to be done will be left to the Mac. Smaller one it is!
I'm having a lot of inner debates on whether to get the 11' or the 12'9 haha, I intend it for like 50% drawing and 50% video watching/movie streaming, for the latter I think the 11' would be better because I can hold it in a comfortable position and bring it with me in cars easily, but for the drawing I think I'd prefer the extra space, except I don't want to have to put it in the table to draw.. I never draw at a desk anymore. A lot of people strongly recommend the bigger one because the more space the better. But yeah I'm confused 😂😂
Get the 11
Ye it cheaper and the sigh diff isnt like HUGEEE but i would prefer. the larger one but it expensive so the 11 will be better. Maybe when like a 16 inch or something comes out XD. That is mainly for art but lel. If you got a stand Movie Watching good too. Sorry for my bad grammar maybe ;-; Hope this helped!
I'd say if you have more cash to burn, get the 12.9. I surely would have bought that if it were only $100 more, but it's $250 more expensive where I'm from & since I came from using a 9.7" iPad anyway, I thought moving to 11" is more than enough already. Objectively, you can't go wrong with either. They're beast machines that can handle a lot of graphic work.
I would say get the 12.9. The size is already quite small, but it's basically the best size.
If you hold it vertical and draw it's like paper. Which is awesome.
You'd think it gets in the way and is hard, but not too big a deal. Since you'll be lugging it around in a bag, more than likely, you will be taking it out when you're just at a cafe or in the park.
You'll get used to it if you want to draw horizontally.
Nothing beats the size. And it's easy to carry.
At least for me, since I've used a Surface Pro. So I am used to the 13' size
Makoto Kazuki Agreed. The additional weight is actually tolerable, and I think remarks saying that holding a 12.9 iPad 2018/2020 is like holding a tray is kind of exaggerated. Ironically, its body doesn’t appear to be much of an upsize next to the 11-inch, but when the screens are lit up (particularly on a drawing app workspace like Procreate), the extra space is quite sizeable.
My original iPad is second generation so I waited a bit to upgrade. My original still works ruclips.net/user/postUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA , but the battery is bad and won't stay charged so it always has to be plugged into a power source. The new 10th generation was a great bargain for Prime Day that I couldn't pass up. It was easy enough to set up: everything came down from iCloud with no issues.
I brought 12.9 with me on a bike trip and I ended up NOT using it on the road because it was too demanding to take it out and use spontaneously. So I ended up taking photos with a phe, haha... 11 is definitely more convenient size for carrying around....
Shines nicely in the night though....
I think they need to make a 12 inch iPad Pro I think that would be the best way to go.
You helped me decide on the 11. Thanks for the review!
and here i am, watching reviews without even the slightest bit of money to even think about buying one 🥺😤
I did it for 5 years - perfectly normal
...and when you get the money, you'll know EXACTLY what you want, and not get talked into anything you don't need.
what's the point of this comment you just saying you poor to us...
Hope you got the money asap 😢
Work work work
Thank you for making this video. I’ve been debating which size to get for drawing and thanks to the points you brought up I was finally able to reach a decision!
And which one did you buy?
I'm getting the 11" for Drawing; Writing, watching shows, video editing, and some gaming.
I'm used to drawing on a little android. So I think the 11" is great for my transition. I can't really afford the 12.9" if I wanted to get a case, a screen protector, and Procreate.
P.s I didn't know the wait was going to be this long lol. I ordered mine on August 29th and I still have up to 13 days to wait, people weren't lying when they said "I've been waiting for so long for this to come!" 😭
what? I just ordered and its ready to pickup after 1 hour.
@@fishlikeyoio2198 Where I live I couldn't pick it up for some reason and I live maybe 20 minutes from a apple store but, luckily I finally got it.
@Ghost in the Shell sadly i didn't have a choice to pick it up from anywhere. I got it like 5 days ago and I love it! I was worth the wait tbh. I plan on getting the one of the keyboards next so it's easier to type when I'm writing.
@@Qashimo hi how it’s going with your 11 inch? Are you happy
@@7yearsago440 it’s amazing honestly.. I use it 24/7.
I tested both and in my opinion the 12,9 is better because i use the split view and i use the ipad to remote play with my playstation. For drawing its perfect for me. The higher weight its my personal work out ;). Thanks for your video and your experience mate
A relief that I need to hear.
Yes, it's not just me that come here with these specific reason.
I went with the 12.9, myself. One of the best decisions I have made.
I think I will do the same
Finally I found a video who talks valid stuffs.. thanks
the best difference of 11 & 12.9 is 11 inch is allrounder!❤️
I think in terms of portability and size like drawing on a bed, laying down…went for the iPad mini 6 (2021), it’s not small at all since I used to draw on my iPhone a lot, it worked out. In terms of pursuing animation, iPad Pro 12.6 would be the best choice. In the case of the video, clearly 12.6 is better in terms of long term, and in portability and giving a “sketch” effect, I’d go smaller for an iPad mini.
wonderful vid, , hi Teoh im contemplating btw the 11 vs 12.9 2021 ipad pro, i just ordered the 11 inch, but am also thinking hmm dod i make a mistake ,maybe 12.9 is better, but my issue is it a bit too buggus and heavy, but i love to large screen area, question is, il going to use it for procreate, and title drawing for my channel, and hopfully fcpx and photoshop, what do u think is best size for what am doing/
11 is more portable. With the 12.9, you’ll always have to set it down on a table to use
I think the comparison to the sketchbook is really good. I either sketch on A5 or A6 so that influenced my decision a lot. I also will be doing note organization/planning and I just didn't feel that I needed that much display for that. My MacBook Pro is 13.3" and it made no sense for me to get a table that was almost just as big.
Thanks for making this video, I've been trying to decide for a while which size I want. It's so helpful to see them compared!
@TaY CKhan I got the 11! I don't really feel like I need more room and I like the portability of the smaller size
okay i decided to go for 11". thank you for helping me make that decision lol
Why can't we just have a 12" ugh. I currently have a Pro 2020 12.9" but it's starting to feel too big for my liking. I'm planning on buying the 2021 11", but then it seems too small.
@apple everyone has the same feeling! I hope they will make it right in the middle!
The size is the only thing holding me up right now. I've been locked down by a 22 inch tablet for years. Not being able to take it anywhere has been such a buzz kill. So obviously, I'm nervous about the 12.9 inch. I don't want to fall right back into the same trap. I plan to do most drawing in my lap... Ugh! I just don't know.
Is that really how much the paper protector reduces contrast and sharpness? Wow. Just have to find a way to make the glass and rubber work for me
That's just on camera. A friend of mine has a paperlike Matt screen protector too and contrast and sharpness looks just fine in person
@@artmadebyRed Yeah, I have the paperlike on mine as well, and while you can definitely notice a slight reduction in clarity, a) it cuts down massively on bright reflections, and b) it’s most noticable in bright conditions; indoors and/or especially when it’s slightly darker it’s almost invisible.
I'm going to get the 12.9 to convince my parents it's also a laptop. Which is great tbh since I have a shtty computer and having a powerful drawing and editing machine like the ipad pro is gonna feel great.
I'm kinda indecisive which size to buy. I think the 12.9 is kinda too big but I also wish something a little bigger than the 11. Kinda sad that apple doesn't have a 11.9 inch iPad pro.
I still don't know if I should go with the 11 I do need the portability because I'm a person that enjoys drawing in others places than home. I love drawing looking to the river and in my country there's alot of good stops to chill next to the river, and I also travel alot.
But I also want to use photoshop and other softwares like adobe animate and clip studio. Do you think the 11 inch is good for that? I'm kinda worried that maybe it's a waste of money to buy the iPad pro to just use procreate. I know iPad air is good for it too. I don't think the difference is that big.
I'm still so indecisive I want an iPad that will last me years and that I can be a professional with cuz I have a degree in animation and illustration and I want to work hard to be a professional on that area. I'm also a graphic designer. But I also want something portable. I'm super indecisive. 😭
If you are going to bring your tablet out very often, the 11-inch is probably the better option. Most drawing apps still have UI that's designed quite well to fit on smaller iPads.
If you often use apps that have lots of UI elements, e.g. Clip Studio, then a larger display with more resolution will be more productive. So you have to research those apps you use and how they present UI.
I hope there is 12 inch (￣へ￣) perfect size imo
I have them both , my daily driver is 11 , 12.9 for home only .
I was looking at the drawing the whole time...really nice
I am definitely gonna get the iPad pro 12.9 inch. I like it big😂
I know that feeling..
I will personally go for 12.9 as i like to watch movies frequently as well as draw. Some day i might get the Mini 6 for on the go drawing.
Thank you for making this video!! It really helps with my decision making! 🤓
Thanks man, I’m gonna go with the 11inch. Great video !
I want an ipad for art
I need the 16 inch. :_D
Heck yes, me 3!
I would kill for a much bigger iPad. Heck make it 24 inches so it’s comparable to a Wacom pro display.
Nathan Lynn that would be awsome! Maybe with a surface studio like stand, but even without it I would buy it.
@@vincsenzo I absolutely agree. I have a 24 inch wacom right now but I cant run alot of apps I want to because they are tied to mobile software. I want a 24 inch surface studio made by apple that has an apple pencil and a scales up fresco or procreate.
That's what she said....
I'm a year late but this is a much needed comparison.. I wish I got to watch this video before I committed to the 12.9" :/
Apps don't seem to optimise the bigger screen space at all.. it's just the same in both sizes :/
Anyway i wish I could make good use of the bigger screen now that i bought it anyway 😂
I’m literally have the 12.9 in my hands now and I’m about to go exchange it😂
@@aeliotte oops xD
you convinced me. 11 inch it is :) very excited to upgrade from ipad mini lol
The main benefit of the 12.9" is larger gestures, see a bit more on the 12.9 when zoomed to same size
how do you enable palm rejection on the IPad Pro? - Procreate? I'm thinking of getting one but in the store, palm rejection was off.
Palm rejection is automatic. You can’t turn it off
Just the review I need! Thanks!
Great video. Are you still using both iPads or using the 11 inch more now?
I always feel like getting the Ipad pro but it is too expensive for me while I only used a small drawing tablet.
Just tell me which one to get
If cost and weight not an object would you choose the extra real estate? I've found myself over the years (yes, I'm old) going from larger to smaller, smaller to larger, as the market has kind of dictated. Now the choices are more varied, I find myself gravitating to smaller phones and larger tablets. My laptops are increasingly gathering dust now tablets are more capable.
Personally I think the weight factor is more important than the screen size especially when considering a tablet which is meant to be portable. The 12.9 inch requires setting it down on a tablet or support when using. Unless you just want to use it for leas than a minute
Good review! This is good to know for artists that are okay with smaller screen size
Great video!
Just one question: what if someone needs to splitscreen while drawing, I need references while drawing, is that still doable on the 11"? Or the screen will be too crammed?
Thank you!
Split windows will be small. But even on the 12.9, the split windows are also small, just slightly bigger. It's better to load your reference on your phone instead.
@@teohyc Good to know, Thank you!
Just buy a second ipad! Apple has you covered!
@@luvdacurvyones that will cost a kidney
If I don’t draw outside much, mainly at home, is 12.9 better?
I may purchase the smaller IPad. I would like to show digital art on my channel eventually do this was a great review as I head in that direction. Thanks 😊!
I really would like a 12.9” for the extra drawing area. I wouldn’t really be travelling a whole lot with it, so I’m not so concerned about it being cumbersome in any way. However, the one thing that does stand out and concerns me with the 12.9” is the how much more muted the colours look. I don’t have the best eyes so I like having the bright rich colours. It’s the only reason why I won’t get a matte screen cover for my iPad 7. I was wondering if perhaps it’s just because you have a matte cover on your 12.9” iPad, or maybe the colour brightness is something that can be adjusted.
Hey, near the beginning of the video he did say the colours were muted on his 12.9 because he uses a matte screen protector on it, the iPads are equally bright and colour accurate otherwise 👍
The muted colours are due to the matte screen protector on my 12.9. The colours are vibrant, like on the 11-inch, without the matte screen protector
I'm having a problem with my ipad where it became unresponsive in the middle part. like a line and its irritating in making art. any of you encounter this problem too? is there any solution?
Honestly I don't know what to do. I don't mind spending the extra money for the 12,9 but the idea of getting this iPad is being able to draw outside (I am upgrading from a XP-Pen artist 12 because I'd love to draw outside), because I also travel a lot. The problem comes when I think about using other programs such as Midibang. I feel like it would be nearly impossible to draw on those with the small screen, but I don't know. It's such a difficult decision :'( any recomendations?
Honestly I think people would just get used to the bigger screen, especially if you hold is vertically like a sketchbook! I usually draw on a desk and on my lap if im outside, and I wouldn’t mind the extra bit of weight, I’m gonna buy the 12.9 inch cuz size is important to me XD
Hi, what did you get?
@@314-j9j Hey! in the end I went with the smaller one. Since I never owned the big one I can't tell if I made the right choice. Anyway I never felt that it was small or I never regretted buying that model because it was umconfortable or anything. I also only used Procreate, which is designed for the canvas to match the whole screen, so idk how I would react if working with midibang or photoshop. I think if you want to use some other thing rather than procreate you'd have to go with the bigger version. Also I'm not a graphic designer / professional artist, I only draw for fun, so I'm not very demanding with my art tools!
@@Quelkei thanks for answering ✨
@@Quelkei update?
I’m planning on getting one for college but I’m not quite sure which one? I like the idea of more space but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to find it overwhelming.
11 inch will be extremely portable
I’m a student in went to a store and checked both of them. I went for 11 inch because of the portability
Hi Teoh yi Chie,
Thank you for comparing the two sizes of iPad pro. I was just wondering if the matte screen protector you have made by paper-like or a knock off? I heard the knock off ones decreases the tip in about one-two months. Is this the case with the matte protector you have? How long does yours last before you find you need to replace a new nib for your apple pencil? and a new matte protector due to scratches from the pencil. Thanks, -Tia
I’ve tried Paperlike and other brands. There’s not much difference except price. Pencil tips will wear out but not that fast. Anyway you can buy replacement tips very easily.
ipad 11 inch is the same area as wacom intuous pro m. so for me its better 11 inch, cause its not so much big and suit well in the bag and my small hands
Thanks for the review. I appreciate it. Buying for my son and think 11inch will be good plus I save money. TY
I have an question, does the 12.9 inch are very heavy? If its not too heavy i take this one but im hesistating with the 11 inch, i dont want something too small tho but the thing its the 11 inch its easier to carry so i dont know
12.9 is noticeably heavier than the 11 especially if you want to bring it around often. And you will definitely need to set it on a surface to draw. With the 11-inch, you can hold in hand, while standing, to draw. When you add a case, the 12.9 becomes even heavier.
Personally I don't think you lose out much with the 11-inch. The canvas area is still large and comfortable enough to draw on.
@@teohyc alright thank you, i will take the 11 one then ^^
Hello! What would you recommend for an art student taking online classes? 11" or 12.9"? Since not only will it be used for drawing, mainly animation, (but frequently for drawing), but also video calls and such?
By the way, thanks for the video! It really helped narrow down my choices! 😊
It’s difficult to choose. Main consideration is the 12.9 has to be set on a table to use most of the time. 11 is way more portable.
Oh! Okay thank you! 😊
I got the iPad Air 3+Apple pencil for Netflix RUclips Web browsing studying drawling and multitasking and I picked it coz of the 10.5 inch screen over the iPad mini 5
What are the exact measurements of the screen on the 11" & 12"? I mean, length vs height in inches?
i am buying the new ipad pro but i don't know if i should buy the 11 or 12.9, money is not a problem, my friends are telling me to get the 12.9 but i feel like the 11 inch is better for art. what should i get plz help
Look at your current workflow, lifestyle, and see if you will be bring the tablet around often, and if so the 11-inch is better. 12.9 is mostly used on table when drawing.
Thanks for posting! I know this is a little off topic, but can you tell me what procreate brush you used for the tree foliage in this painting?
I guess it doesn't matter which one you get, you will feel like you got the wrong one. There shouldn't be any reason why either size is wrong, we are talking 1.9" on a 11" or 12.9" tablet.
Idk if u will see my comment or not since this vid is old but...
I want an Ipad for 60% drawing 40% movies and for school cuz In math i need to solve questions and idk how to in my laptop😅 too hard .... so Should i get the 11 or 12.9?
If you're going to be using the tablet indoors most of the time, in which case you have access to a surface to put on, 12.9 is good. 11-inch is significantly more portable and good for people who want to use the tablet outdoors more.
So is 11" enough for professional drawing?
Yes?
Thank you ! Very useful. If I decide to buy an iPad I will go for the 11" !
I'm new on Apple, I just wanted to know how does "generations" work, is more than one Ipad pro 11" 2020? and How can I see at first sight which one I am looking at?
It's difficult to tell which generation an iPad is because Apple does not put that up front on their product page. BUT all the products on Apple website are the latest models.
Which screen protector are you using on the 12.9 inch ipad? Do you find that the more muted colours effect the drawing?
That screen protector is SuperShieldz that I bought on Amazon. It does make the colours more muted due to the matte texture.
its more muted BUT you get so much better pencil control so i think its worth it. I think paper like is shit and overpriced so i use good quality matte protectors, that i like to switch up every few months with a glass protector.
Not sure if you will see this but I have a complicated decision when it comes to getting a new tablet. I have a cintiq 16 and like it but it is mounted to my desk. I had a 13" first gen Cintiq Companion but it's charging port broke. To repair the Companion it is $600 through Wacom but it is much more bulky than an ipad so idk if I should even get it repaired or just get an ipad or other portable tablet. I work professionally but also like sketching and want something portable to draw on in bed, on couch, etc. Any idea what I should do? Thank you if you see this 🤙
Look at your current workflow and see if you will be bringing the tablet out often. 11-inch will be significantly more portable.
Currently thinking about going the opposite route, selling my 2018 11” for a 2021 12.9”, but the size frightens me a little, especially with the squarer aspect ratio. But the 11” often DOES feel cramped (and I want the 16gigs of RAM, plus my current iPad is Wifi only, which was a bad decision).
And after two weeks with it: Yeah, I much prefer the 12.9 inch. The screen real estate benefit is massive. Together with the Logitech Combo Touch, it IS a real chonker tho, and not just in thickness, but especially in weight. The keyboard-and-trackpad-part weighs a friggin ton. Still, I‘m happy with it!
@@Runoratsu thanks for updating that you liked the switch. I’ve got an old like first gen pro and I’m heading to the apple store tomorrow to grab a 12.9 chonky tab
@@mhill0425 No problem. Haven‘t changed my mind yet, either. Still haven‘t sold the small one (just didn‘t get to that yet), but whenever I take it up, I can‘t bring myself to use it over the big one for long. Also, the 16gig of RAM are AMAZING. I love that apps aren‘t closing anymore, almost no matter how many I have open.
how bout in clip studio paint? doesnt it feel cramp when using the 11 inch?
It does feel cramp because CSP has many palettes.
@@teohyc thank you! do you think the iPad pro 12.9 2017 is still good to get today? Mainly going to use CSP on it.
@@secretheart5875 I highly recommend the 2018 models or newer (2020 model with 6GB RAM). Those designs allow Apple Pencil to charge on the side which is more convenient. Between a 12.9 inch 2018 and 11-inch 2020 model would be good depending on which size you prefer. Check the refurbished section on Apple's website for deals.
I’d like to get 12,9” iPad pro but I have concern that it will bend if I put the iPad Pro in my bag to go to university or etc. What do u think Teoh?
I don’t think it will bend. It’s less likely to bend than the hardcover books in your bag
Ever since I watch iPad bend test videos I cannot stop thinking about it😩
How much storage should I get if it will be used for drawing, working on my skills and things of that nature?
The current iPad Pro comes with 128GB which is sufficient for basic use. If you need more storage considered the older refurbished units direct from Apple, cheaper, models with more storage
I draw outside all the time so the 11 pro is better for me, I have just order the 11 2021 version and realise I have to wait for delivery :( I'm so wounded but I have a question
I don't really care too much about buying the apple pen gas anyone used the copies and are they good or should I buy a genuine iPen
How many layers do you get on procreate? Do you think that using more ram helps you to increase the performance? An ipad pro with 128gb is enough? Thanks in advance.
When creating an A4 300DPI canvas, iPad Pro 2020 can create 73 layers while iPad Pro 2018 and iPad Air 2020 can create 57 layers.
128GB storage is enough and comfortable in my opinion.
Thanks, I heard that the more ram the device, more layers you get, or it is the ipad processor? On ipad 6th gen I only get 26 layers
@@DianaHernandez-fe9io Yes, generally speaking more RAM means more layers.
thanks i watched this before buying Pad nextweek...
I was torn between the 11" and the 12.9 because the option was there and because an artist said most artists preferred the bigger size.
I'm a professional illustrator, my work flow includes a mobile tablet with Wacom pen, and a laptop so I don't need a laptop replacement hybrid tablet, I need the portability.
Anyway, realised I could visually compare my current Samsung galaxy Tab (where I don't have a problem with the size) to the iPad specs from the Apple website and then found out it was even smaller than the iPad 11😂, I tried to get a sense of how big 12.9 was and it was so huge that I was wondering why they were still calling it a tablet.
11" is perfect! The 12.9 is practically a laptop, a 13" one. but somehow has less desirable specs then I'd want in a laptop. If I didn't have my laptop, I might be willing to sacrifice portability for the hybrid of tablet and laptop.
Happy 200k!
The color are different because of the screen protector in 11 inch ipad you put on glass one but in the 12.9 inch is like paperlike one's 🤔
i need to buy the iPad pro for study
which one i should buy?
the 11 inch or the 12.9 ?
Both are fine. 11 inch is way more portable. 12.9-inch you will always have to set it on a surface to write or draw.
I just wonder how much XDR makes a difference
Not much unless you watch lots of HDR movies, and the black bars when watching YT movies will be darker. That's all
Thanks I keep being recommended to view your video when considering which iPad to buy for drawing. I think it's very compelling to get a smaller screen and save some money. Now Air is even cheaper than 11 Pro.
The new air u got is 60hz screen and 4gb ram mean while Pro is 120hz 6gb ram. The refresh rate is a big different when you drawing
@@Plyr.1 thanks. I’m still deciding between Air and Pro. But in some other reviews they say ProMotion 120Hz makes not much difference as Procreate optimize the brush response very well. As for RAM, if you draw in screen size, you can still get up to 90+ layers in an old 4GB iPad.
I’ll need to check in the Apple Store.
Just tried in a store.
- RAM affected layer number is way beyond my drawing need. Don’t remember the number but like >30 at least for on screen resolution.
- I could notice the lag from the refresh rate when I draw fast long lines, feels like the stroke is trying to catch up the brush head on iPad Air. On Pro, the stroke stuck with brush head. But for shorter strokes there is not much difference.
- Air has a faster single core CPU. I noticed it took less time to load the brush drawer than Pro. But again, hardly noticeable in a split of seconds. There is an animation sample on Procreate which takes some time to load on Pro, but on Air they remove it in Procreate from display model. Maybe they don’t want Air to feel slow. But animation is not needed for me.
- Air bezel is a bit wider than Pro but unnoticeable, not as big difference as I thought. Thickness is also fine. Not huge difference.
- Fingerprint reader, works ok and fast. But screen can be turned on by tapping the screen. Just extra step to put your finger there.
So for the refresh rate, is really the only thing that bothers me a bit for drawing. But considering the price it’s really “noticeable”.
Someone liked my comment, just to add that in the end I chose iPad Pro as budget is not my concern, and the extra RAM will support me to switch back and forth the apps. And The brush action is smoother.
Have you tried drawing using the 1st gen ipad pencil? Is the 2nd gen better?
They have similar drawing experience to me. They use the same tip and have the same weight anyway. I don't use the tap shortcut on the Apple Pencil 2.
The main difference about them is that they are compatible with different iPads and iPhones.
I’m most likely not going to take my iPad anywhere unless I use it as a laptop, but I’m not sure if I should get the bigger one for laptop purposes and note taking and drawing while having a bigger screen, or the smaller one for more comfort and reading. Which one should I get?
Look at your current workflow and habits. If you are going to bring out out often, get the 11-inch. It's significantly more portable.
I don’t know what to get I’m studying digital animation and I’m debating for 11 or 12 inch, pls help
11 if you need to draw while holding it in hand. 12.9 requires support on table almost all the time because it's heavier. So if you are going to set the tablet down on table to draw most of the time anyway, get the 12.9.
Hi! The ipad pro 11 also has the laminated screen?? Does the iPad Pro 12.9 feel the same way to draw? Is there any space between the pen and the screen?
They have the same laminated display
do you prefer using the matte screen protector/ without/with smooth glass screen protector?
for drawing yes! For media consumption i think glass is the best
please help, im used to drawing on a sketchbook and not ipads, i got one of these and since im so used to drawing tiny in the sketchbook my proportions get janky on a big screen, especially since i have tiny ass hands and the ipad covers both of mine spread out im not used to this ;-;
Maybe get paperlike screen protector that will make it feel like your drawing on paper. It may help i hope
