iPadOS restricts new iPad Pro tablets with M1 chips, and Apple is doing it on purpose

The developer of the graphic and design application Artstudio Pro drew attention to the Procreate forum

to the limitations that Apple has set in the new iPad Pro tablets with M1 processors.

There is no such thing as too much memory

So, regardless of the configuration, the applicationcannot use more than 5 GB of RAM, and these limits are built into the iPadOS operating system. Trying to use more memory will cause the application to crash.

Moreover, this applies to iPad Pro with both 8 GB andand with 16 GB of RAM. Of course, 5 GB is already a rather large amount, but everything is revealed in comparison: last year’s iPad Pro had a limit of 4.5 GB, but they only had 6 GB of RAM.

In any case, developers cannot completelyunlock the potential of available hardware, namely the M1 chip. Users have long been saying that iPadOS doesn't take full advantage of the iPad Pro's potential, and now that seems to be more true than ever.
