Painted on a 4000px-wide canvas in Procreate on my iPad Air, this was then upscaled in Perfect Resize on my Mac and printed 2m wide. Now imagine that x4 with the iPad Pro! That should be plenty resolution for most, I reckon. I printed the following piece for an exhibition and was able to scale it up (via Perfect Resize on my Mac) to 2m (a little over 6 ft) across without seeing any pixelation.

A 4000 pixel-wide image fills your 55' TV with crystal-clear clarity. How does this affect an artist though? And more importantly, how does it affect your creative process and art-making? When translated to print, higher definition and more pixels means a source file with a lot more information and detail.

The iPad Air 2 can create canvases of up to 8192 pixels, and the iPad Pro can do 16384. To compare, TVs are just beginning to brag about 4K capability and the resolution is so high most of us haven't seriously considered buying one yet because TV programming doesn't have anything with that kind of resolution to watch! Now think even higher resolution. That's pretty good, really! You can do a lot with 4K. On my iPad Air, I could create a maximum canvas size of 4096 pixels across. What I'd been really looking forward to however, was the higher resolution (and the power to drive it of course.) My go-to creative app is Procreate - one of the few drawing apps for iOS that allows you to pick your canvas size, and create really high-resolution ones. The iPad Pro is slim, big and bright - like my old iPad on steroids!

The detailing is all you'd expect from Apple machined accurately to the nanometer, a polished sliver of metal and glass that comes to life at your fingertips. At 713g (1.57lb), it's heavier than my old iPad Air (469g or 1lb) but because it's so much bigger, it feels lighter than it looks. While waiting for them to bring me mine at the Apple Store, I picked up a unit on display and was surprised at how light it was. The screen of the iPad Pro is larger than that of a 13” Macbook Air!Īt 30.5cm (12') by 22cm (8.75'), the iPad Pro's width is about 1cm less than the height of the iPad Air 1 and 2. The iPad Pro is huge! Bigger than my wife's 13' Macbook Air screen. You don't need to remember that, because it hits you in other ways when you see the screen for the first time. How big is 'Big'?ĥ.6 millions pixels flooding 12.9 diagonal inches. The extra real estate and significantly higher resolution promises many possibilities for artists. The space grey 128GB LTE version was my pick as I take my iPad everywhere and want (some say need) access to data if I can get it, especially when traveling. Finally, there are 3 colors to choose from: silver, space grey and gold. The need for wifi or LTE capability will also affect your choice, although the latter is only available for the 128GB version. They range from USD799 for the base model to USD1079 for top-of-the-line. If you weren't already aware, there are 3 models to choose from, differentiated by disk space: 32GB and 128GB. I'm going to talk about how it feels to use this thing. So if you want to geek out on performance-type tech specs, this isn't the review for you. If a device is fast, what's most important to me is how it keeps up when I work. Now, from the perspective of one who uses it daily for a living, here are my thoughts on Apple's latest offering.īear in mind - although I'm a bit of a tech nerd, I’m not big on detailed specs and numbers that include speed tests, chip names and RAM configurations. I picked mine up the moment it became available in Hong Kong, and have been playing with it for the last few weeks. Early this year, the rumors started flying thick and fast, and in September, the tablet I'd been waiting for was finally officially announced.

When rumors of a larger iPad began circulating a couple years ago, I had a feeling that it would be a milestone in the product line, largely because much as I’ve loved my iPad(s), I was now ready for.more a bigger screen, more power - a souped-up iPad that could be a seriously amazing creative device. I'm pretty sure however, that things are about to shift considerably. I added sketching to that list 2 years ago, but for many of you, the artistic experience may have been touch and go. If you've owned an iPad at any point, you know it can be handy for lots of things. This is a review by guest artist Rob Sketcherman.
