iPad (8th Gen) Review

The new iPad is one of the best deals in drawing tech. The APple pencil is great and this isn't a dramatic upgrade but the A12 chips is really nice year over year upgrade.

Finally! Someone reviewing it from an artist perspective 😃 thank you!

You always complain about the apple pencil’s charging method but you never mention that it charges fully in 10 minutes and that lasts all day... saying this for whoever needs to read this.

I just like it when Brad says “Hello my name is Brad” and I still keep watching it even tho I can’t afford it but still liking it

[pinanay]

Thanks so much for this, Brad! Now I know settling for the 8th gen iPad, simply because I can't afford the Pro, isn't going to make me less of an artist. Great review, as always! Keep it going!

I love the “clickdy clack” sound it makes even tho I don’t have it, I just watch videos of ppl drawing and the sound just satisfys me

[art_satan]

I bought Ipad 6th gen only after your suggestion. I was low on budget and it punched about it's weight. Thanks a lot Brad. It changed my life

Viewing this on my newly purchased iPad 8th generation. All I can say is, this iPad performs way better than I expected it to be. Yes, it’s not as fast as the latest Air 4 or the Pros, but this iPad gets the job done. (At least on iPadOS 14)

Damn..
Who uses 100 layers?
I only use like 25..

I’m 13, and I want to start digital drawing, and i greatly appreciate this review, I think I’m going to go with this since I have to save up for it myself, thank you :)

Thanks really helped! Im planning on getting a 128 GB ipad 8 for christmas. This video really helped with making my choice and i decided to go for ipad 8 rather than ipad 6.

So i just realized im part of the 5% of the people here whos just tuning in not because we want to buy cus were broke but just here to fantasize about having them or just cuz why not :D its brad. Why not ‎٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

Edit:ok so as it turns out there are way more broke people here just tuning in mostly for brad.. so i guess about 90%? 🤣😅

[keithedwinsmith]

Great review.
Brad’s one of the few tech reviewers who neither gushes over nor craps on Apple devices.
He tells it how he honestly sees it and that’s really helpful.

As a 14 yo I do not have a steady source of income but I wanted an iPad and I finally got an iPad 8th gen and I can't wait to get into ditigal drawing

[krizanta]

I wish I can buy any ipad 😅 I can only watch reviews. Still saving to get one 💪

[uhu]

I think, someone should force Apple to put MicroSD-Slots into their iPads.

[dibujemaestro]

It’s incredible how your lines are precise and clean here. In androids tablets seems that your hand is shaking. Thanks Brad

[Claire-ccjn]

Welcome to another episode of watching things you can't buy 😂😂

[tedbragg]

Wife and I had to downsize into an RV. The lack of space and storage in this thing meant ditching my desktop AND laptop. Went with this iPad and gen1 pencil and never looked back. A wireless NAS is a MUST, however.

[aftonsatterfield]

Thank you so much for this detailed review. It really helped me feel better about going for the iPad 8th gen as I really want to draw my own files for vinyl projects with my cricut joy.

I have this IPad and I recommend for your iPad is to have a matte screen protector, the screen protector feels like your drawing on paper and makes it much smoother when your drawing.
