All iPads iPad 9th Gen or iPad mini 7 for 2D animation?

9th Gen iPad or 7th Gen iPad mini?

I would be using it for 2D animations only. Not yet a professional animator, so I will be practicing on the device first but I eventually plan to create more professional looking animations using Procreate Dreams/ToonSquid. Is the iPad 9th Gen enough to handle such task, let's say a 5 minute 2D animation, or do I need the upgraded CPU of the iPad mini 7?

I'm considering the iPad mini because of the screen size and portability, I really don't think the smaller screen would affect my drawing experience in it.


Thanks guys

The internal specs of the Mini are far superior to the 9th Gen (8GB RAM instead of 3GB!) so if you are drawn to the size anyway, go for that one. The Mini 7 will better handle Procreate so you may find it does what you need for years to come. The 9th Gen is unlikely to be adequate for much more than basic tasks (surfing, email, streaming) for that long. The A13 used by the 9th Gen is already a 5 year old chip.

I’d personally do a test with the apps you have in mind. Apple gives you two weeks return time for a reason. Send it back if it doesn’t work out.
