  • Today I try running Artstuio pro on the 6th Gen iPad to see if it's even worth using in 2021. Do you use this iPad? What do you think about it?

    I’ve been using procreate on this iPad for a couple months and I’ve been really enjoying it. I haven’t had any problems but i am also just beginning on digital art so it’s been nice and somewhat comprehensive.

    This is really awesome to know. I bought my daughter a 6th generation. It's going to be her first IPad. I didn't want to break the bank nor did I want to invest in anything too expensive. She is a great little artist so this will be perfect.

    thanks for making this review with drawing in mind. I have a iPad air 3 as a main drawing tablet and a Samsung SM-P580 as a secondary drawing tablet, but have been looking at an iPad 6th gen as a replacement to said Samsung tablet. All other reviews to the iPad 6th in 2021 have talked about everything except drawing in mind.

    Thanks a lot! This answered a few questions that i had. I ordered one costing $110 on Woot, which i thought would be a great little device to keep me sketching on the road, without having to break the bank or take my iPad air 4 out of the house.

    I just want a regular iPad so when I leave home I don’t have to take my pro. One thing the regular iPads have over the pros is their durability, they are fucking tough as nails where the pro is pretty delicate. You won’t be dissatisfied with a regular iPad unless you do anything intricate..

    Very helpful! I'm looking to get my niece and nephew ipads since they draw on their phones currently. They are such incredible artist and I really want them to grow and become stronger artist. I'd be willing to splurge on more storage for them so they can try different art apps, but this is an insightful video! Thanks so much!

I have 4 teenage nieces and nephews so I did have a budget to stick to 😅 we found 2 refurbished 2018 models for $238 in great condition and I was able to get 2 apple pencils as well. They can always upgrade when they save up, I just wanted to get them started 🥰

    Hi!! I use that iPad in 2021, I use it to draw on procreate. I usually draw on a 3072x3072 px canvas in 300ppi. I get 17 layers and I have got used to it. It works fine to me. I don’t really mind the non-laminated display. I am waiting for the next iPad 9th gen to update. I want 4gb of RAM, but I don’t want to spend 649 euros for it.

    Ive been itching to try Procreate but I cant justify buying it because I already have a huion monitor that I use for work. I've checked used ipad 6th gens here and they are still hovering around $280~ here in my country(excluding pen).
    I can buy a brand new s6 lite with that price tag 😐

    I'm a bit skeptical of getting this or a much, much cheaper device on my shopping list. I'm curious to know if this will cause any lag on Ibispaint considering it has only 2GB of ram. I use ibispaint on my phone that has around 4GB of ram and It is a bit laggy when I draw on 4k canvases.

      ​@@bhavrishadeo8548Galaxy s6 is definitely a better device than the iPad 6, but Procreate beats any Android drawing app. If you're looking for a tablet specifically for drawing, I think you should go for the iPad 6, because Procreate alone is worth it.
