IPad Pro 2021 Hugely Limits How Much RAM Apps Can Use, Apparently
If you're wondering if it's worth spending a 2021TB or 1TB 2 iPad Pro to get the extra RAM (16GB instead of 8GB), the answer is probably no, because you won't be able to do much. of this. According to Procreate (a digital art app), all 2021 iPad Pro models have the same amount of RAM available for individual apps, regardless of how much RAM is on board. Procreate doesn't say how much RAM that is, but in responses to the company's tweet, other users claimed 5GB was available.

< p lang="en" dir="ltr">From now on, all iPad M1s have the same amount of available RAM. If more are available in the future, we'll make them available for you too 💜 May 28, 2021 More information So what's the point of going with a 16GB model? Well, beyond the fact that these also come with more storage, that extra RAM can be used to keep apps in memory, so you can quickly switch between them if you're multitasking. But for a single app, you apparently won't get any more power out of a 2021GB 16 iPad Pro than you will from an 8GB iPad. However, that could change in the future as this limitation is a software limitation, so in theory Apple could update iPadOS to allow it to use more RAM. The company will probably never let a single app use all of the RAM (it needs it for the operating system, after all), but there's a lot to lose in the 2021 iPad Pro 16GB models, so we wouldn't be surprised if they get a momentum at some point. Of course, most users probably couldn't tell the difference anyway. Currently, accessing that extra RAM is probably only really useful for things like heavy video editing or using hundreds of layers in art applications like Procreate. For general use and even high-end gaming, the iPad Pro 2021 already has all the power you need. Via 9to5Mac
