so in my last video I unboxed the new twelve point nine inch fourth gen iPad
pro and gave you some of my initial thoughts now after spending a few hours
drawing and testing some of the new features I want to give you my full
review as well as give you some of my recommendations for those of you who use
this thing primarily for art like I do the new 2020 iPad pro is that same
powerhouse of a tablet that remains at the top of its class in performance and
beauty the screen is almost identical to the 2018 model and the chassis is also
almost exactly the same except for the new dual camera bump on the back the new
tablet also still only works with the second gen apple pencil which has not
been upgraded this year so what that means is that you're drawing experience
your entire drawing experience with the 2020 model is going to be exactly the
same when it comes to sensitivity as the 2018 model now the new model also comes
with improved Wi-Fi 6 bandwidth which is really cool but most people aren't going
to be able to take advantage of it because you need an entirely new router
this is something that I do value personally because I'm planning to move
soon and since I don't have a MacBook I kind of rely heavily on Wi-Fi speeds to
get a lot of the documents I use for my social media and patrons out onto the
net now the new 2020 model does come with a new slightly improved a 12 Z
Bionic chip but as benchmark tests report the improvement is really minimal
and I can confirm that with my own tests honestly any iPad pro out there is going
to impress most people now the new camera is something that I do appreciate
because I seem to never have enough cameras on hand in my studio the new
camera allows you to get a wider view of your subject as well as including a
time-of-flight sensor so for me I'm definitely going to be looking at
purchasing a really big iPad stand so I can use it to film stuff the sensor also
features lidar technology which uses light rays to kind of bounce things off
and get a sense of depth for everything in your environment now will anyone make
a cool drawing app that can actually utilize this feature maybe maybe not but
as for me I'm just gonna rely on my rift s4 all of my a are and VR needs now some
of you have asked me if this thing bends and well we already know that this one
does and I'll just refer you to everything Apple pros Ben tests in the
card above yeah it does if you really force it the structure is
still quite flimsy compared to the 2017 model for example but if you're like me
and you take good care of your products it shouldn't be a problem none of my
iPad pros have ever bent and I used to take them back and forth to work and
back and forth from my lunch break every day personally I don't think this is an
issue because I think that Apple is trying to conserve you know the
environment and cut costs which i think is a commendable endeavor and they're
really applying this to their entire company now let's actually get into the
real drawing experience with these two tablets and since I use procreate mainly
for my work and it's pretty much the industry standard for tablets now I'm
gonna talk about that so as I've been growing as an artist my gripes with the
20:18 iPad pro is that it's been getting to lag on me in a few ways especially
since I'm taking my canvas sizes more seriously in the drawings that you see
me doing in this video I'm working on 6000 or 8000 pixel size canvasses
procreate at this size crash is a few times a day especially when you're
trying to export things with canvases this size and the layer limits are
beginning to become way too stressful for me for my current workflow although
I can report a slightly better experience with the 2020 model it really
doesn't solve that last issue so procreate has tweeted or replied to a
tweet that they actually have to release a new version of procreate that would
enable people to take advantage of the new amounts of ram in the new 20/20 iPad
pros six gigabytes versus four in the 64 or sorry 128 through the 512 gigabyte
models unfortunately even after they've had a chance to thoroughly test the new
20/20 models there's still a big chance that they won't be able to take
advantage of the new memory if you recall the 2018 model of the iPad pro
this one right here if you get the one terabyte version it does come with 6
gigabytes of memory however procreate was not able to use
that amount of memory because it wasn't made available to developers this is
likely to be the same case across the entire new 6 gigabyte standard of the
20/20 iPad pro line now the improvements that I have noticed is that with an
empty procreate library you know if we've gotta acknowledge that that makes
a difference and the new improved chip loading and exporting times have been a
little bit better than with my 2018 model it can get really annoying
experiencing lag when you're going in and out of layers documents and staff
and procreate so as a heavy iPad user especially for drawing I really
appreciate these little speed bumps now before I get into the recommendations
for whether you should upgrade your iPad pro or not I want to say thank you to
today's sponsor paper-like as you may know paper-like is a matte screen
protector that is finely tuned for artists as soon as I got my new 20/20
model in I made sure to immediately apply my new paper like screen protector
because I wanted to avoid the terrible pain that is drawing with rubber and
glass if you're coming from traditional work or you're coming from a more
traditional tablet then you definitely want to get this it's an absolute
must-have and if you don't believe me then just listen to the difference links
to get your own paper like will be in the description box below alright so
let's get to those of you who are like me and have the 2018 model of the iPad
pro should you upgrade no you shouldn't no nope honestly the differences are
just too minuscule for anyone who already has this model and please don't
compare yourself to me if you're wondering why I got the new iPad pro
because for me it's simply a business expense and also that new two
trillion-dollar stimulus package from Congress does actually amount to almost
exactly the price of this model of iPad pro so yeah now what if you have the
2017 iPad pro now this is where it gets more interesting and it's a little bit
more of a difficult question to answer so I'll tell you why I think it's a good
idea and a bad idea so that you can make your own choice so reasons to upgrade
include that even though the design is weaker it's still a great design it's
beautiful and it's simply more efficient and portable than the old one however
you know beauty is in the eye of the beholder so that's really up to your
taste the second reason to upgrade is simply
the Apple pencil the second gen is way better in every single way than the
first gen and personally I don't ever want to go back to that one so it might
be worth upgrading if you're kind of tired of it
now I also have a few reasons not to upgrade the 2017 model is still a tank
and it takes hits you can't bend it nearly as easily as with the 2018 and
the 2020 models and some people actually like the increased weight and
heftiness there are also rumors that there is going to be a new iPad pro released
later this year this iPad pro is rumored to have a new micro LED screen as well
as an insanely more powerful chip the a 14x Bionic so in my opinion I would
definitely wait for that one they say not to wait for tech for upgrading but
the 2017 model is extremely capable still so you're really not missing out
and my last reason really builds on that the 2017 model is an amazing device in
my opinion as long as you don't have the 64 gig model you're not missing out on
anything with your iPad pro experience especially when it comes to drawing so
what if you have a different model of an iPad like the iPad air or just the
regular iPad 7 gen or maybe you don't have an iPad at all that's going to take
a little bit more time to answer it's a little bit more of a complex question so
I'm working on a video that's gonna talk about all the different types of drawing
tablets out there and the goal is that I can end everyone's confusion on what
they should get at least for the next year maybe so you know what to do make
sure you're subscribed make sure you hit the bell icon so that you don't miss
next week's video I'm Margot Josh thank you so much for watching this video and
I'll see you in the next one stay safe and keep drawing
