Hi stokerg, thanks for your reply, that helps! Meanwhile, I found out, that the A10X CPU (iPad Pro 10.5) is faster than the A11 (iPhone X), so it is between the A11 and the A12 (iPad Air 2019). It is not so a big jump like between A10 and A12. The clear benefits of the Pro 10.5 are the 120 Hz display, which allows smoother drawing and the HDR support. So if I can catch a refurbished one from Apple, I will buy the Pro.

Dear Affinity community, I plan to purchase a larger iPad for Affinity Photo and Designer. I'm wavering between the new iPad Air 2019 and the iPad Pro 10.5. The iPad Air has a faster CPU and 3 GB RAM, the iPad Pro 10.5 has an older processor, but 4GB RAM. What more could the bottleneck be - CPU or RAM? Further, which role does the GPU play in this environment? The GPU is faster in the Pro 10.5.
