It is clear that it can be used in the app even with M1 iPad Pro and 16GB of RAM.

The iPad Pro with the M1 chip has 8GB or 16GB of RAM, but at present it has been clear that only 5GB of third -party apps can be used.

This restriction was revealed because the iPad -only illustration production application "Procreate" was updated and officially optimized for M1 iPad Pro.What is the upper limit of RAM for the 1TB (16GB RAM) model?The PROCREATE official account, which was asked by the user, said, "The amount of RAMs that can be used in all models of M1 iPad is the same."

Procreate has a limit on the number of layers to support the limited RAM capacity of the iPad, and has a distinction to RAMs that can be used for each hardware generation.According to the latest updates, the number of default layers was increased to 91 on the iPad Pro (2020) and 115 in the M1 iPad Pro.Conversely, the answer to the official account is "the same as 8GB even in the model equipped with RAM 16GB".

In addition, the developer of the image editing application "ArtStudio Pro" posted on the PROCREATE official forum that "M1 iPad Pro has a big problem."In other words, a stress test was performed on the M1 iPad Pro equipped with a 16GB RAM, and it turned out that the upper limit of the app that could be used was 5GB.It has been reported that the app will crash if you assign more capacity.

Ichiou is increasing than the old iPad (such as the 3rd generation iPad Pro, etc.) with a 6GB RAM, but only 0.It is also stated that it will stay in 5GB.

In other words, one iPad Pro application cannot be used exclusively with the M1 chip resource.At the time of multitasking, the number of apps that can be retained in memory at once is increasing, but resources that can be used by each application are unlikely to be a big difference from the past model.

This constraints are most affected by professional applications, which are lighter as RAM capacity, such as images and video editing software, increases as RAM capacity increases.The Procreate formula promises that if you can use more RAMs in the future, that is, if Apple has loosened iPados restrictions, you can update many layers.

What is attracting attention is whether this situation will be improved in iPados 15 (provisional), which is expected to be announced at WWDC21 in June.The iPad Pro version of the Apple genuine professional video editing app FINAL CUT PRO may be announced in conjunction with raising the RAM capacity that can be used by the app.
