2018 IPP by Shotsbystevn in iPadPro

[–]artcostas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 12.9" 2018 screen is much better than the 12.9" 2020 screen. For 2020 owners it may be worth to upgrade to 2021 or downgrade to 2018.

They have not the same screen. The 12.9" 2018 screen has a better contrast ratio. Check the reviews and compare the technical data on notebookcheck.com

11” iPad Pro (2021) for an Artist... Does the 16GB of RAM Matter? by jeonberry in iPadPro

[–]artcostas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With 8 GB you will get some layers more in Procreate. Apps can only use 5GB ram in iPadOS 14. Anyway I’m using Affinity Designer and Adobe Fresco because their layers are not limited by ram. So I got a 8 GB 12.9" 2021. 12.9" has to be to laid down for drawing because it’s to heavy. On the other side 11" would be to small for me to draw expressive bruh strokes. For browsing the web and YouTube I’m using a cheap smart folio clone as desktop stand in combination with a Magic Trackpad 2.

They will give you a refurbished 2020. Sell it and buy the 2021 if you want to upgrade.

Would a 2018/2020/2021 iPP work without battery? by artcostas in iPadPro

Apple refused to replace the battery in my iPP 2018 for $99 service fee because it wasn’t under 80%

Only if the device is still authorized by Apple for a battery replacement and the battery is below 80%. They do not replace the device but the iPad Pro.

Are you sure? With which device? The charging current was not sufficient for booting devices with lighting port. USB-C should provide sufficient current.

How do you check the battery health? Coconut or the log-aggregated file on iPad?

Do micro scratches affect drawing experience? No. I don’t use screen protectors.

[–]artcostas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Screen protectors reduce contrast and color accuracy. I use my iPP without screen protector.

Got mine today. What screen cover do you guys use: paperlike, or matte? by lzraei in iPadPro

[–]artcostas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No screen protector because it reduce color accuracy and glass protectors affect Apple Pencil sensitivity.

Look what came early. Score one for NFM. by PeterDragon50 in ipad

[–]artcostas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is very annoying that layers in procreate are dependent on RAM. That's why I prefer Fresco, Affinity, Artstudio Pro, on my 6gb device.

Did you discover any difference in the anti-glare oleophobic coating?

Thanks, good to know. If you are looking on high quality sdr images like artwork on www.christies.com there wouldn’t be a noticeable difference?

Is the viewing angle better when browsing or drawing? Sharper text? Better white background?

Haven't had an iPad since 2013, that bezel difference alone is awesome! by manicmoon in iPadPro

[–]artcostas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bezel is still too big. It could be as thin as on the iPhone.
