How’s things? I’ve been looking on Amazon for an iPad 2018 12.9 inch and the “renewed” label makes me sooo hesitant😅

[@laylatorres2418]

@@Mu5hroxm It's been going great so far so good. The iPad already came with 16.1 update everything is good the battery life is also good .Their were no scratches. I think it's worth it in my opinion. Hope this comment helped! 🙂

[@Laylay_365]

​@M3GAN The reasons your games might be crashing is because of your storage space or maybe your iPad isn't updated to the most available IOS. I play Roblox just fine and I'm on the 16.1 update some games don't work but that could be because of the model.

[@seanbaxterwilliamslocknkey6916]

This is the iPad that I have and use everyday, it hasn’t let me down at all. I am not a content creator, I am a locksmith and the apps that I have compliment my life and business by keeping all of my catalogues and notes and customers in order.

I have a universal license with affinity photo so I'm thinking about buying this iPad for drawing, it would make a great secondary display tablet when I don't want to sit at my computer.

I got the ipad 6 when it was released because i REALLY needed to get a new tablet. my old one was crappy and broken.

[@saurav1096]

So cute 🥰 Do you recommend this for note taking and reading books? And how much storage is left. Do i need bigger storage for books??

[@madeveluart]

Thanks for your comment! 🥰 Yes!! If you are going to work with PDFs or EPUB (like on a Kindle), or using GoodNotes/NoteShelf for note taking, is enough! I'm also using it for that, and I'm a PDF collector 😅 and for what I've seen nearly 300 books on PDFs (and with images) and they just take 1,8 GB of storage. And EPUBs (like Kindle format) take even less storage, so I think you have more than enough! Hope that helps 😊😊

i am thinking about buying this from amazon. (128gb, light gray). should i?

[@madeveluart]

I was making myself this question long time ago until I decided to take it, and now im so happy I did!! 😊😊 Yes! I have the 32GB one, because that's enough for me, but if you are going to use it for more things, 128GB is great!! I also have the light gray version :) In the description I have left a link to refurbished one, that is even cheaper, and looks like new (and it's an original iPad). Hope that helps, and you get your iPad 😊😊 I think you will enjoy it a lot!

hii, what about palm rejection ? can you put your hand on the device while drawing ?

[@madeveluart]

Yes! While you use the apple pencil you can have your palm on the screen without any problem :) So comfy!

I still have my 6th gen from 2018 and it’s really good I love having the home button still

[@missnunii]

[@FH-wy2tx]

Nice!! Why didnt you take off the plastic from the pencil tho....

[@madeveluart]

Hahaha it's an odd habit I have... I leave the plastic on for some days when it's something new so my mind thinks is more protected this way 😅😅

[@Oliver-ox5rs]

Which Apple Pencil do u useee …. Coz I am planning to buy new pencil for my iPad 6th gen❤

[@madeveluart]

Hi! You should buy the 1st generation, because it's the only one that is compatible with the iPad 6th gen 2018 (like the one I have. I left a direct link in description if necessary). You will enjoy it!! 😊😊

[@TheScepticalThinker]

If I would buy an older iPad I would rather go with the 128gb version tbh because 32 is just not worth it hell even 64 will get you sweat nowadays with how apps getting bigger and with all the updates you have daily. I hope that Apple scraps the 32 and 64 entirely.

[@madeveluart]

Yes, it's true that if you want to used it for lots of apps, you may need more GB, but if it's just for Procreate and some other app, for me works perfectly if you are on a budget 😊

[@Unogamingchannel]

just upgraded my daughters ipad to the pro, and keeping her ipad 6th gen, was wondering about the cheaper pencils, some are less than $50, I don't draw much, mainly use it for music, movies and some games. it's 5-6 years old now, but still works great.

[@mal3k_xd]

congrats. i am planning to get it for good notes. is it enough or will it lag ?

[@madeveluart]

I have used it with good notes and other note taking apps and works perfect! 😊 I guess if you use very big PDF files maybe it can lag a bit, but as i said, with regular digital planners and note taking I havent had any problem :)

Was $100to get prob diagnosed and min $200ro replace svreen with apple not third party but as worked with smashed acreen for !onths i think moisture hes gotten in and now just displays some lines . Ordered refurbished 128gb 6th gen for cheaper yhan diagnosis for her Christmas present that way she can use her pencil etill gets curremt updates and of course you can still get cases , the 6th gen one is also cellular not just wifi

Heyo, which ipados are you running on your iPad 6? I am still running 14 and not sure if upgrading to 15 will slow my device cos as of it's running super smooth with ipados 14.

[@sam_ed]

Stay with iPadOS 14. Do NOT upgrade to iPadOS 16, your iPad 6 will become slower just like mine now.

[@platokick1]

@@sam_ed thanks mate, you saved my user experience. ♥️

I updated my iPad 6th generation to iOS15.6.1 and it was one of the worst decisions I’ve made, the battery dies so quickly now compared to before I updated it that now I’m thinking of upgrading

@@lewis_9607 Thank you for the response, mate. Hope one day Apple stops providing new OS to devices that cannot support it. I know that day won't come. I'll stick with 14.

[@JohnRambo-dr7rd]

Hello, I would like to buy the same one so thks for the video! Do you think it would be able to support a video editing software?

[@madeveluart]

For video editing maybe you should get the version with more GB, seeing that working with video takes more space on the device. And then I would research exactly which app you want to use and check if it's compatible with the iPad 6th gen. For the rest is still a very good iPad even if it's from 2018! :)

[@JohnRambo-dr7rd]

@@madeveluart Thks for the advice! I usually use Shotcut, a free software. But I heard you can't use it on an iPad. I guess iMovie could do the job (it is indeed just to make simple trip's videos)

Your review is just what I needed!❣️❣️❣️, I have a link to the i pad on amazon is original?, What I mean is whether the ipad is original? UvU, since it is cheaper there!

[@madeveluart]

Glad it helps!! 😊😊 Yes, they are original but refurbished (which means they have been used or in exposition, and maybe they have something fixed), so they work perfectly and are original ones! So if you are on a budget or just don't want to spend a lot, I really recommend them 😊

Thank you for your nice coment! 🥰 I got mi iPad directly from a seller (i live in Spain), but are the same "philosophy" of refurbished ones of Amazon, so you can have great prices for very nices articles that are like new! 🤩 So, I highly recomend them to save some money. And in any case that you are not satisfied, you can always return it. But with mine, I havent had any problem at all! So happy with it!! :D (and more because I paid less that 200$ huhuu!) The link in description is exactly like the one I got, for more or less the same price. Hope it helps! 😄

[@fahadsartwork]

Hey I also use krita on desktop for animations:D ,but was thinking to find myself a good Ipad , right now I have my eyes on this one , has 32 GB space enough for you so far?

[@madeveluart]

For simple illustrations is fine! If you work with more layers for animations (each photogram count as a layer in Procreate) and can afford it, I would recommend to take one with more GB, but as I was in a budget and was my first iPad, Im so happy with this one! :D

[@mihai8810]

i want to buy this model of ipad but i m afraid that i will buy it now and on the next summer i will cant update ios more,sorry for my bad english btw someone give me some tips about that should i buy one?

[@madeveluart]

Hi! I think you should think about your priority, if it's saving money (like it was mine at this moment), or it's to have the last updates. If the last update of Procreate in some future cant be installed in iPad 2018 wont be a problem for me, because with the last update im so happy to work on everything I want. And think also that maybe you take a newer iPad and it happens the same in some future. So I cant give you any other advise than reseach and think about your situation now. Hope it helps to clarify you thinking :)

[@cwli1]

@mihai, people have said the ipad 6 can be updated to the latest ipadOS 16

[@hl236]

Wow. Only max 8 layers in Procreate. Is that so?

[@madeveluart]

Unfortunately if you work with 300dpi and 4000x4000 px yes! If you go smaller & less resolutions you cna have more! OR if you buy an iPad with more GB you will have more. But as I was on a budget, and just wanted it for simple illustrations, im so happy with it! :D

[@nabiila_3703]

Hi, what about the ios update and download apps? People said old ipad cannot download apps

[@Smallsley]

It depends on the year. Every new iPad that comes out will continue to update for up to 5-6 years. Meaning old old devices should still be able to download, but they will not be updated to current updates

[@imnotjulie]

currently this ipad 6th has the latest iPadOS update, idk about the future updates

@@imnotjulie it does have ios16 but I personally don’t recommend updating since it causes the iPad to slow down and die immensely faster
