I got the 32 GB budget IPad. Your video helped me realize that I don’t need to spend that much money upfront. Thank you!
Do you have to pay to get it on iPad Pro?
@@starandrocket1174 yes, you do. It's around 10 USD
It's been a while since you commented this, I am considering buying the 32gb iPad version so is it enough?
@@santiagoparra3861 if you're an artist who wants to use procreate, it can be enough if you want ro be. There are ways to make it enough. For example, transferring files every once in a while. But if you have the money to buy the 128 GB, I'd say do it. At the time of commenting this, I didn't have the money to buy it. Now, I'm kinda regretting not buying the 128 GB instead. But I still love my 32 GB ipad. I made it work for me.
@@shenlock thank you! And another question if you can answer haha, does it Worth it buying the air 4 ? Or better the 128 gb 8th generation?
Thank you Teoh, you are so smart and thorough. I’ve been trying to figure out what I need to purchase recently. Your reviews are always practical and you think of everything to cover. 👍
Oh Thank God I found your video. I was thinking hard what to do with my iPad Pro 64gb if it is running out of space since I have started drawing daily, and turns out we can save and backup our Procreate file plus its timelapse on iCloud. Really helpful video. Many thanks! Looking forward to see more useful videos from you!
Thanks for the tips and review in storage space! Really helpful!
I really like your art!! The simplicity makes it so much better
Excellent presentation. Clear, concise and very useful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Thanks dude I like how you support everyone 👍
Thanks for the video. I have a 2018 iPad pro with 256 gig storage. I 2tb of cloud storage which I also share to my family.
This video was SOOO helpful! Looking into purchasing an iPad for the first time so I can import my sketches and illustration ideas into the computer a lot easier. I'm a Mac user, but the idea of getting a new device that is a little different than a laptop is intimidating. I didn't want to spend too much money upfront - especially since this will be my first time. I may have to slowly increase my illustration skills to create the type of detail you have, but for now, I think the iPad with the lower RAM is better for me. Thank you again.
Procreate is great and this video is so needed
thank you so much! this really helps me a lot✨💗
This was so helpful, helped me decide to switch to an iPad Pro with the amount saved that didn't go to storage!
ooh! this is the video i need! thanks for making this vid! and also i luv your vids!❤️
Thank you Teoh, I am shopping around for a new iPad Pro and this was very helpful regarding the Procreate file storage and creating backup files.
Oh dear, ive spent whole evening yesterday trying to figure it out by myself, i wish i waited 24h for your video...
some other things ive noticed - you can binge export everything when youre in the gallery view, you just need to select files you want to export. I exported my first a4 painting i made with its 10 iterations (from intial sketches to final renders) as .procreate, .psd, .png previews and 5 gifs and the whole pack was 1,5 GB. Its going to take less space if you tyrn the animation recording off, also .procreate files take more space than .psd but im not sure how combatible they are
very informative, as usual. Thanks.
Ohmygod you really saved me I was going to buy 1TB one Thankyou so much!!!!
Thanks for covering this. Will keep it in mind. 👍😁
Thank you sooooo much😍.. This vedio was really helpful!! 😊
This video was VERY helpful when it came to purging timelapse video.. My iPad Pro is 64GB
I have 10GB Google Drive, 100GB Dropbox and 200GB iCloud with a 2TB Seagate external HD, so I back up once a week, especially my Procreate files and also save them as PhotoShop files as well.
I was just about to ask if the files can be transfered to Dropbox. Thinking of getting an iPad but can only manage the 32gb for now. As long as I can transfer to Dropbox that would be great. Used to Samsung where I just slap another memory card in 🤭
How was your experience on 64gb? Is it manageable or too tedious moving files all the time? I want to get the air4 64gb but having second thoughts on the storage.. also can you play videos from an external device or SSD?
Thank you so much. I am shopping for an ipad pro & this helped so much.
me too! I am actually shopping for ipad pro and this video has helped me which Gb should I buy.
Carla Wong what did you get ?
This is very helpful, I didn’t know .procreate had the timelapse in it
Seemed like the sketch was timelapsed, but all the color for the watercolor appeared all at once
this is so useful :(( thank u so much!! I have a 32 gb one and i like making art but im scared to buy the app if i get storage problems in the future haha this video helped a lot!
This is really useful..thanks so much
Thank you. Your videos are always informative and clearly explained.
So helpful! Thank you.
Thank you for this!! 👍🏻
That was very helpful thank you!
I just bought a 2018 12.9 64 gb iPad Pro a month ago. I have 2 external drives, an iMac with more storage and I'll just use these to store my procreate files. So far, I'm still in the learning stage and none of my "art" is worth saving. Thanks for the tips!
Keep your old files and you can see how much you have improved
@@teohyc exactly. I did this when I was a kid and it's amazing to see my progress!
I am looking to buy an Ipad does Procreate work smoothly on 64gb, if you had additional storage? I am sure you have work worth saving!
Please come back with your old files 8 years later and make video about 10 years drawing comparison 😀
@@stereodan7180 Will try if still alive, LOL!
That was so helpful. Thanks bro
Thank you so much, this was so helpful :)
Thank you for this video - super helpful! Does anyone happen to know why the file size shrinks so much when you save it in iCloud? Does that mean you lose quality at all?
I have the 256 GB 10,5 pro and Procreate is using up about 50 to 60 GB right now. And I had it for about an year and I am glad I bought the one with bigger storage but I think 128 GB would also be enough :)
seriously? im really in a doubt rn whether i should buy the pro 128gb or ipad air w the bigger one 256gb.... so do u really think 128 enough for a beginner like me who wants to learn digital drawing?
@@fadhilaputisari8832 Hii. Update: I currently need 122 GB for Procreate and in total 195 GB of Storage. So If you have the money take the bigger one 😆
@@isabell3224 so r u currently struggling for more space on your 128 GB ipad? Im wondering if I should splurge for the 256 GB one
@@cakesandcupcakes Hi, I have the 256 GB ipad not the smaller one. And I save most of my procreate Files several times cause I work with High Resolution and have a limited layer count. So I would definitely buy the 256 GB one again. 🥰 Its also really difficult and annoying to Backup the files 😵
Wong ngawi iki
Question ..... I'm looking for iPad is Apple iPad 7th gen 32gb be Good enough I know I can save it and transfer it to my laptop but how many layers I do with 32gb
Thanks for this
Oh my gosh. It was taking up about 4 GB because I wasn’t smart enough to figure out to get rid of the time lapse...
This video is very helpful, I was wondering if I should get a bigger storage for the ipad pro I plan to buy, but this is better than than paying a $100 more hahahaha
I ordered a 1 TB external harddrive...but I see in some youtubes, not all external storage drives are compatible with ipads? Have you ever used a harddrive to back up your ipad files with success...not just a flash drive?
hi teoh...hope you answer my question
so i have ipad pro 11” 256gb since last year and kinda think to upgrade it to 512gb...i do have samsung ssd t5 but i’ve been having issues when i open it from my ssd, few of my artworks can’t be import in procreate when i tested out open it back in procreate (haven’t delete the main artworks one thankfully) but its kinda annoying tbh...so should i wait or go upgrade to 512gb?
Thank you so so much, I'm seriously so grateful you've helped me a LOT (I already ordered an ipad and I saw that procreate files take up so much space so I got really scared that 128 gb wouldn't be enough) thank you again bless your soul🙏🏻♥️
I'm in the same situation, did it go well with 128?
Carolina García Soriano Hi, sorry for taking so long to reply (I didn't get the notification) but so far it's working great & procreate doesn't honestly take as much space as I expected, I also use my ipad for many other things but the space is still pretty good! ^-^
@@user-tm3fd3bc4d Thank you so much! I will do the same, mine it's for studying and drawing :')
@@user-tm3fd3bc4d Do you think 64gb is enaugh if you dont save the timelaps?
Because I'll probably buy the iPad air 4 64gb and want to beginn drawing on procreate and I'm so worried it will not be enaugh :c
@@Laurenzia in the end, what did you buy? Im contemplating between ipad air 256gb or ipad air 4 64gb, please help mee
I just purchased an Ipad 7th Gen 10.2 inch 32GB, it should arrive in a few days, it cost me $700 NZ, I also bought the apple pencil for $160 so all in one lump sum it was a bit of a buy for me as I never spend much on tech haha. It will be my first ever Apple product, I only wanted it to use procreate, I am hoping it still works well for my art work in Procreate!! thank you for the swift and informative video.
If it cost $700 for the old one why didnt you just buy the Ipad pro 11 inch for $750 on apple.com?
You could probably still return it and get the new one for $50 more.
@@maverickmo8976 Her money is in NZ, is that the same currency as your offer?
youre the best !
Which size ipad do you have? And which would you recommend for drawing? I’m conflicted between the 11in 2020 ipad or the 12.9in
I'm using the 12.9. The 11-inch is more suitable if you want to sketch on the go. 12.9 requires you to put it on the table most of the time.
Thank you Tech. Your off hand knowledge of I Cloud is what I need, so I really appreciate your knowledge. As an artist who is looking to purchasing an I Pad Pro, it will come in handy in terms of my budget limitations. How do I get started with I Cloud again since I had it closed because I forgot the password. Would I be able to open it up again with a new password?
Can't you reset your iCloud password? It's the same password as your Apple ID. Maybe get Apple to reset the password or you'll have to create a new Apple ID (and lose all data, purchases, shows you have with the previous account)
Great video !! My 32 GB iPad 8 will arrive in 2 days
Wow! Such a beautiful iPad art you did there! Can you do a mini series on iPad drawing and practice that last urban sketching book tips with us? ;) ;) ;)
Thank you!
I love this video, very valuable info. But I'd really love to hear about the memory issues. I realized today that the latest Ipad (9th gen, $329) has literally twice the processing power as my 1st Gen 12.9 inch Ipad Pro. The 1st gen pencil is also just fine for drawing, and the regular Ipad battery life is absolutely superior to any of the Ipad pros. Of all the issues, the battery life is the most annoying to me. My Ipad Pro sucks its battery at an astonishing rate. Newer models don't appear to be too much better. But the key is the memory, how much memory and which device to get? Huge price differences and they seem to have planned it this way. ;-(
What did you ended up buying? I have the same problem
system + OS take 15gb, so 64gb is good enough. you can get more storage on iCloud too. $1 each month for 50gb , in a year you only spend $12 lot cheaper if it’s compared to buying an ipad with more storage. my first ipad is 32gb and this video helps me to find the solution for my limited storage
GarageBand, if I am not mistaken, allows you to work directly inside your iCloud Drive. No need to store projects inside the iPad. Procreate doesn’t allow this as far as I can tell? I wish all apps did.
Thank you for the information! I did have a question though. I have a daily driver laptop that I do all of my art on and only want an ipad for when I'm not at home (at work) and wanted to know if the 64gb would be good? I'd probably be drawing 5 days out of the week on ipad, only sketches and a few illustrations. So would 64 be good or should I wait to get the 128gb?
Depends on complexity of your work. For simple art with few layers 64GB should be enough
Hi - what is your opinion when it comes choosing between having a display tablet connected to a Windows machine or an iPad Pro. Which one do you think is better in terms of software/app (illustration/painting) flexibility and also in terms of useability standpoint. I am confused in taking a direction as I don't have any as I am newly introduced to digital art, but I own an Dell XPS 15 however I am not sure if that is of any use when thinking of mobility and apps that are available for iPad Pro like procreate.
If you need to use desktop software, then it’s better to get a pen display. If not, it’s alright to get iPad and Procreate. Really comes down to the software you want to use.
Really having a hard time deciding between an iPad Air (4) 64gb with the magic keyboard and pencil or the new Pro 11” and wait/save for the extras. Wait for it to ship and wait for the pencil and keyboard as I save for a few months to get those accessories. Or get the 64 air. My budget is tight, but I’ll get the education discount. The difference between the 256 air and 128 pro is like $50. But the 64 air would give me room for those necessary accessories and no waiting. I sold my MacBook Air laptop to make this happen. I have a desktop iMac I rarely use.
Main use for iPad will be writing papers, web browsing, email, bit of zoom, media consumption and streaming, reading, editing photos, note taking and light drawing. Playing some games. It will be my first iPad in many years and I’m really excited.
What would you do? Is 64gb enough? I also have one terabyte of iCloud storage!
What did you end up getting? I'm in the same boat. I was just about to pull the trigger for base iPad as I don't need the power of pro. But thinking of getting into digital art and it does sound like 64GB is a little limiting. Hence I'm now considering the Pro as it has twice the storage and extra features but on a budget, so would avoid it if preferred.
@@jesselam5867 So what did you end up getting? :D
@@AbunaiAiko Haha, neither. I just went all the way and got a 12.9inch 🫢. Not a financially wise choice, but the larger screen definitely does make a big difference when drawing/paper replacement. I’m glad I went for the larger size mainly because I can split screen, which is too small on the 11 inch.
@@jesselam5867 Thank you so much for an answer, which one did you get? 2018/2020/2021?
@@AbunaiAiko 2021 since M1 chip!
Just the video I needed. Acquired Procreate recently, and I've been wondering if the 64 Gb on my device was enough.
My girlfriend fell in love with my iPad Air 4. I want to get her one with the Apple Pencil. I can only afford the 64gb version.
Her usage is mainly drawing and doodling in Procreate. She also likes using the iPad for surfing the web, media streaming, Tumblr & Pinterest, and playing some games. Nothing too heavy duty. Is 64gb enough? She also has lots of cloud storage, 2TB.
She also uses her MacBook Air laptop to store photos, videos and big files. The iPad will mostly be for streaming, sketching, surfing and a few games. Lots of cloud storage!
I’d rather spend the money on the pencil than the extra for 256gb, since she is an artist. I figure she can eventuality offload her larger drawings to the cloud or use external storage, if she needs to free up space.
Thoughts? 64gb is enough?
iPadOS and updates will take up at least 16.5GB. So technically speaking you're only left with only 40GB of storage.
It's usable if you don't mind moving your local files to online storage.
I actually don't mind moving Procreate files onto iCloud via the Files app. But the problem is sometimes they thumbnails don't show so if you want to look for old art just from the file names, it's not easy. That's one downside.
My recommendation is, if you have access to Apple's refurbished store online, get the refurbished iPad Air 4 with 256GB storage. It should be 15% off retail price. Or get the 2018 or 2020 iPad Pro 11-inch with 128GB or 256Gb storage.
Once I finish my paintings I save my files on iCloud and also on an external hardisk and I have never had problems with 32gb painting at 300 dpi in A4 size. I leave just the final and merged file on procreate.
This is also what I do on my lenovo tablet. But I'm thinking of getting the ipad 9, 64 gb because of the price... and do this.. so according to your usage... it do-able ? I use maximum of 20 layers on a digital drawing.. I merge evey now and then..
128gb how much storage available space on iPad pro-2020
Thank god , i buyed ipad pro 11, with 64 GB..thumbs-up to your video 🙂
oh my I'm getting that one too😄
Is 64 enough ?
@@akshata3710 ha it's more than enough, until & unless u store more files & install more apps on ipad. It's better if your only usage is to digitalize things.
Hello theree✨
I just need your help bcz I’m really so confused whether to buy the iPad Pro 128 GB or the Air 4 256GB
Like I’m afraid if the 128GB would not be enough and at the same time I’m afraid if the 256 would be too much.
I’m a College student and I really have to write ALOOOTT of notes also I’ve software books as the current situation of onnline learning and I’m planning to use the iPad for other things also in the future like digital drawing, reading books etc.
And I’m planning to replace it with my laptop as I’ll make my iPad as my laptop replacement.
So what do you recommend for me?:(
128GB should be enough. Notes don't take much space, especially if you use apps that save notes to the cloud. For drawing, just look at your current workflow. If you're not drawing much now, getting a tablet won't make you draw more.
hello! i really like your tablet review videos, it helped me a lot in choosing the best budget-friendly tablet. but i've always wanted a portable one and i've had my eyes on either the 8th gen(128gb) and ipad air4(64gb) but i've always wanted to know the maximum layer capacity for procreate. is the 64gb on the ipad air enough? or should i go for the 128gb on the 8th gen?
did you buy it yet, cause im still confused which one to choose. how did you choose and which one?
@@lasya1303 did u bought it..cz i am confused regarding the same
Just ordered the ipad 8th gen with 32gb, it's my first apple device so I was unsure if icloud drive was expensive (i was willing to pay anyways). But you just saved me, now I can rest safely knowing that it won't be much, thanks!
Do you have any regrets on the space cause I'm thinking of getting iPad air 4th gen with 64GB but I don't know if it will be enough :(
@@user-vv6xf7en5c Hi! No, I haven't had any regrets so far! I've been using it only to draw in procreate and have not ran out of space yet (: if you're only gonna use it to save pictures, or simple stuff like only Facebook or UA-cam it should be more than enough tbh. The system usually uses like 10gb so you'll probably have around 50gb free, but...BUT if you are gonna use it as a work supply and use heavy apps like an animation app or editing apps you will most likely need more space
@@4pm__ OK THANKS cause I will be using it for mainly just procreate and notes (for school)
Is the .procreate file compatible with adobe lightroom or photoshop?
No, it's specific to Procreate. If you want to interchange with Adobe products, export the Procreate file as PSD instead.
How many
Times i have to purchase
Procreate
If i switch other ( Older /Newer ) model
Or switch other devices
Ipad , iMac , macbook, iphone,,
in New ipad air 4 still starts on 64gb then jumps to 256gb on the other storage model, no 128gb :(
Apple wants you to spend a bit more to upgrade to the iPad Pro 11.

@@prithadas65 It really depends what you need the air is a bit faster than the regular ipad. you may have to research them for comparison I gave up liking the air and decided that I will buy the pro version instead since I want to digital art and play games that extra ram is more future proof for me.
@@prithadas65 me too
Plz help me if u can
How much space does the app alone takes on an iPad?
is iPad pro 2018 (11) 64 Gb enough to have a good experience with procreate?
It’s good enough. More is better if you draw often. look at your current workflow.
2:10 how do i save the files on my system, not inside my procreate app?
You've to use the Share functionality inside Procreate to save the files somewhere else.
Do you think ipad air (2020) 64gb will be good enough for commercial art (logos, flyers, art posts, not complex art), and regular media consumption (facebook pages, instagram, pinterest, netflix. UA-cam, etc)
Yes. Definitely good enough. I’ll be reviewing it next week
Damn it i need an ipad but can’t afford it yet. I love doing digital arts and procreate is the most convenient app but i only have my huion and my laptop at the moment :(
You'll get there! I've been suffering with using my phone for digital art commissions in 3 months. I've finally saved up for an iPad :D
omg, your channel is a savior, i had one question though, if i store the procreate files on the system, will it delete them from the app, i'll probably use an external ssd to store them, so would really help to optimize storage!
You have to export the Procreate file to somewhere first, then delete that file manually from the iPad. I recommend you store the Procreate files on iCloud. That way you can see them instantly when you open Files app from your iPad.
@@teohyc wow thanks for the help, your gonna make me save 150 bucks and in india the i pads are already more expensive than other countries because of greedy af government taxes.....
I bought ipad 8th gen , they are charging $110 more than others countries
How much ram do I need?
Am searching for usb c drive for more storage for ipad pro, can u please send me the link of your external drive so that i can buy it.
You can find many on Amazon. Check the reviews there
How much storage can take Procreate on your iPad if you draw a lot I mean like really much?
I'm actually new to the ipad system, and i'm planning to get the 64gb ipad air 4th gen, is it enough or should i get the 256gb version. I do digital art, photo and video editing on the go andddd my laptop just hurts my back to bring that heavy thing everyday. I also have an external harddrive that's 1tb. sooooo should i get the 64gb or the 256gb???
For your purposes probably 256GB. Video files take up a lot of storage.
@@teohyc thanks for the ups bro! Cant wait for more of your contents
Hi! I want to just draw on the iPad and get into digital art. Would the iPad Air 4 64 gig be enough for me? I have a macbook that I do schoolwork on that has a lot of gigs so I won’t need to store anything on the iPad really except the art. Help!
Should be enough
I have a 32 gb iPad 7th Gen, would that be enough to have the app with some other games, while I still have lots of drawings?
If you have bought the tablet already, you can get more storage via iCloud. If not I recommend 128GB iPad
Teoh Yi Chie Alright, thanks!
Hello, I work on a PC and am wondering if it is worth getting an ipad or not to draw. I love the procreate app however I don't know if i will be able to use the files on my pc or not?
You can export the Procreate files into other format, eg Photoshop, to use on you computer
Will pro create work for ipad 10.2 (2019) ,with 128 GB and Wifi?
Yes but apple released a better version of the 2019 ipad (8th) generation and yes it will work just fine if you buy procreate 😁
What company is the usb c adapter ?
It’s China made and has no brand. You can find many of these on Amazon
i’m debating on whether i should get the ipad air 5 with 64gb or the ipad pro with 128gb.. what do u think?
Depends on what’s the price difference. If difference is small, I recommend getting the iPad Pro instead.
Hi Teoh! Thank you for your clear explanation. I am thinking of buying an iPad Air 2019 or 2020 with 64 GB and then also use 50 GB iCloud storage. Do you think that will be enough for drawing multiple times a week?
It should be enough. If you do run out of storage, you can export the Procreate files out, or delete the timelapse videos (recorded by default).
@@teohyc Thank you for your response! Do you mean if I run out of storage on my 64GB iPad I can use the 50GB iCloud storage and that will be enough? I am sorry haha, I just want to be sure :)
@@lucakappinga8144 The 50GB iCloud is really more for backing up the iPad. You can get 200GB iCloud plan in future when you need the extra storage. The 200GB will provide enough GB for backup and online storage. How much storage you'll need depends a lot on your drawing frequency and size of your files. You can study your current workflow.
Or check out Apple's refurbished section to see if there are any good deals. Usually 15% off official retail price. Or check Amazon during Christmas week.
open setting and check how much space procreate takes
Am a beginner user of procreate and seeking for an expert advice , shall i go for ipad pro 2018 11 inch 64gb or 250 gb,, or is it better to buy the new 2020 ipad pro 127gb?
Get the 2020 model with 128GB storage
Teoh Yi Chie thanks
Which would you recommend between iPad 6 128GB and iPad 7 32GB? iPad 7 has a greater RAM but i don't know if that really matters for art purposes. Thank you!
The RAM only really matters for the amount of layers your art can have. There are some youtubers out there that explain this at length. I would advise you to take a look at the ipad air (2019) if you plan to use the pad for artwork
Crashing doesn't really happen on ios so yeah 😅
Good day, Teoh. Would like to get ur expert advice. I am new for procreate and getting to improve the interior sketches skills from ipad. There are 2 choices which make me headache :
Option1 - ipad 8th 2020 (128gb) with pencil and apple care
Option 2 - second hand ipad pro 2018 (64gb) with 2 more years warranty, keyboard and 3rd party pencil.
Second hand ipad pro just higher price at $100 than ipad 8th. Seeking ur advice which is suit for me for interior conceptual sketches? Thanks.
The iPad Pro seems like a better deal but third party pencil is not going to be as good as Apple Pencil. That model came put in 2018 so if you buy secondhand, I’m not sure why there will still be 2 years warranty.
For beginners, the iPad 10.2 (2020) is actually quite value for money because it’s cheaper
@@teohyc Noted with great thanks. I have the consideration basically due the 2nd pencil, camera, Type C which are better and compatible for the next few year version. but I am worry abt the memory whether is enough for apps installed.
Did ipad pro 2018's processor better than Ipad 2020? Thanks.
@@MrKeithTan USB-C is certainly useful. I use it more often for connecting to a projector to watch movies, and for connecting to USB-C microphone. But I seldom it it to transfer files or transfer photos because file management sucks on iPadOS. As for process, for drawing purposes you won't notice the difference. You'll going to be drawing at the same speed.
Not sure how many layers you can get with the new iPad 2020 though. The iPad 2019 can get 26 layers with A4 at 300DPI while iPad Pro can get 57 layers at 300DPI.
Hi, i got the 7th generation ipad is that enough for procreate and if so, how many layers do you get on it?
I can't remember how many layers exactly. Anyway, since you already have the iPad, you can just create a custom canvas and resolution and find out the maximum number of layers
should i buy the ipad 9 with 256 gb of storage or the ipad air 4 with 64 gb of storage? im going to mainly use the ipad for drawing and some animation, i have a laptop i can export files to, and i can also afford icloud/google drive
Do compare the prices for the iPad Air 4 vs refurbished 2020 iPad Pro 11-inch 128GB (get this instead if possible). Otherwise I feel like 256GB is a better option if you draw frequently.
Ipad pro 11 inch 128 gb or ipad air 64 gb? The main reason I want to buy is because I'm a student and I will use for my notes. But at the same time i want to use procreate and i will probably download some apps too. People say that ipad air is better to buy because of a14 but i'm kind of hesitating. I'm not sure if 64 gb storage would be enough for me. I also don't want to spend too much money so... yeah I'm helpless right now :')
For drawing purposes and taking notes you won’t see any difference. You can get the cheaper one. Check The refurbished section on Apple website also
I want to get an Ipad air 4 wifi + cellular and don't know how much storage to get for procreate,Goodnotes 5,watching youtube,and download some games
hi, shall we transfer the procreate files to windows system through the iTunes software... ?
You can't. You have to export the Procreate files out from Procreate to the Files app (into Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive)
Hello, I love following your videos! I need a bit of advice however. I love procreate and the Apple Pencil and can’t give up it’s pressure sensitivity so I am pretty much stuck with Apple. I have my old iPad pro, but it’s strength is also it’s weakness, being the 12.9 screen. The mini 5 seemed like a great portable sketch option, which is what I want right now but Black Friday did nothing for them in fact because I waited assuming it would I in fact missed what had been the best offers for the mini 5…. So that brings me to my question/advice seeking, because it has to do with the ill advised and much older iPad pro 9.7, apparently only able to support 4 layers in procreate. But the prices are unbeatable. Also my use case would be sketching while out and about in an “a la prima” single layer (as far as I understand) approach, likely doing Thumbnail sketches, so I wonder could it actually with 128 gb or higher actually be kind of perfect for such a use case? Perhaps, or almost certainly I am overlooking numerous other pitfalls of the device itself?
Definitely get at least 128GB if possible. Note that iPadOS takes up 15GB. Look at the refurbished iPads direct from Apple website. Those are usually 10-15% off retail price.
@@teohyc thank you so much Teoh! I saw the models not directly from Apple but still from vendors that could offer some warranty ect. for their used models, Gazelle, BackMarket but I hate to ask another question on a doubt I just thought of, because I have become very accustomed to using the “Turpentine” brush on Procreate, so much so that it would possibly be a deal breaker not having it, which I worried might be possible if it’s a feature of a later procreate that that older model might not be able to support? I think hopefully I am just confused, because I remember that yes it supports procreate, just relatively poor using the 4 layers as a measure, I just hope that doesn’t indicate many other things that could ruin even a more spartan use case?
@@SolarPunk80 All the Procreate brushes should be able to work as the processor inside that iPad is powerful even though it's old by today's standards. The main limitation really is the RAM which limits the number of layers you can create.
@@teohontech7141 thanks so much! :^)
Perhaps files are smaller on the cloud because it is lower quality?
can you save procreate files onto google drive? im think about getting the iPad 8 which only has 32gb... because I would rather keep them on google drive than on my laptop!
You can, but you won’t be able to see the image thumbnail so selecting files will be difficult. Saving to iCloud will show the thumbnails
review your hp zbook x2 tablet
I've seen some videos about whether you should buy an iPad with 64GB or 256GB. Now my question (as an alternative): Can you just buy the much cheaper iPad with 64GB and use iCloud for extra storage?
Yes. The inconvenient part is having to transfer your files out to iCloud when you run out of internal storage.
iwant to buy an ipad pro of 2017 but i dunno if i should trust te refurbished one because i dunno how much would last
so considering that should i bui an air 3 or ipad pro? (i want a support for art and maybe even stuf like video editing and such)
@leicanoct in the end the i just need to use procreate and nothing else so i domt think that the update thing will be a problem
Refurbished models direct from Apple are covered by one year warranty too
the temptation draw hyukiru-senpai some pro create updates won’t work on older iOS versions. But saying that. IPad mini 4 which is like 5 or 6 year old still runs latest version of iPad OS.
@@teohyc thank you
@@sloppynyuszi thank you too!!
Ipad 9th generation 64gb storages is it ok for procreate as i m a beginner with ipad plzz help shoul i buy it
Nice video just 1 question which no one is taking about it. Does the ipad air 4/pro gets too warm after drawing continuously for 2hours? I'm using surface pro 6 to drawing but it's getting too warm to continue after just 1hour of drawing.
It will be warm but noticeably less warm compared to Surface products
@@teohyc OK thank you!
if I save my artwork on icloud, do I need to keep importing and then exporting to cloud again everytime I draw that artwork? Or can they update the icloud file automatically?
You have to export and import. Very tedious. Only use iCloud when you want to store the file and not have to work on it anymore
How much space is on the Icloud Drive? Without buying additional
Just 5GB free.
@@teohyc that s not too much I would need to buy extra
36$ per yr so 100$ for 3 yrs usage works out to be about the same as the difference between a 256gb second hand ipad and the base 64gb model. The problem is file corruption is common so it's good to back up anyway. I'm looking at an ipad air 4th used going for 420$ usd which still has applecare+ until Nov. Apple devices are expensive here so a guy at MacStore said it's a reasonable price. Problem is there's no theft coverage and I don't want it to get stolen. 64gb seems so little. I had a iPhone X 64gb and it was full all the time even without huge games or anything. Apple should provide 256gb as a base model really. A tip I heard is to set up your ssd with a Mac before using it and that reduces corruption of files.
Hi Teoh! Actually, I would like to get your opinion, if you don't mind... I'll be using my iPad for vector and pixel illustrations mostly. NO animation or video editing. And I stream, so I will not be downloading movies or music on my device. Do you think the 128MB will be sufficient in the long-term? Or do I need to just invest in the 256MB?
You mean 128GB? Yeah, it's more than sufficient.
@@teohyc Thanks so much!
How about the 64 gb ipad 9, for the same purposes as this comment creator ?
