Staff Dan C Posted August 14, 2020 Staff Share Posted August 14, 2020 Hi @sourav, Welcome to the forums I can confirm that the Affinity iPad apps are compatible with the iPad Air 3. In terms of 'heavy work' this is much more of an open question and is difficult to answer, as each project will vary. Hopefully other forum members who have used this iPad more extensively than myself will be able to add more here! sourav 1 Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!

Markio Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Hi @sourav I use a iPad Air 3 for AD and AP. I use documents containing multiple artboards, with multiple layers. And I place or copy vector curves from pdf’s (AutoCAD output or from concepts.app). I don’t experience behaviour that I would expect from a lack of memory. And I am able to open and edit every sample file without a problem. edit: AP runs les smoothly on the sample files (I tried the rabbit Magicians and the floating fishes sample files) provided by Serif. AP crashed when scaling/rotating/zooming multiple layer groups. sourav 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 I have an iPad Air 2 (late 2014) which has only 2GB of RAM. I haven’t noticed any problems with AD, but I agree with @Markio that APh can struggle when working on complex documents. sourav 1 Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.4.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlainP Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I use these apps on a 6th gen model (2018) and never had a crash and it's quite responsive. Recently I made a panorama using 5 RAW files and it went as fast as my main computer. The Air 3 has better specs than mine so you should be OK. If only it crashed once in a while....that would give me a good reason to get the 2020 12,9 inch Pro....
