Judy B Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Any idea when/if Affinity will release Publisher for the new IPad Pro with Mi chip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM1 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Your guess is as good as ours. 😁 Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen). Affinity Photo 1.10.5 Affinity Design 1.10.5 Affinity Publisher 2, Affinity Designer 2, Affinity Photo 2 and betas.

Alfred Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I very much doubt that there will be an iPad version of Publisher specifically for any iPad Pro, with or without the M1 chip. When it comes, I expect APub to work on iPad Air 2 or any newer hardware, just as AD and APh do.

Sounds like you doubt that Affinity Publisher will be released for iPad, but that when it’s released, you expect it to work on iPad Air 2 or newer? Am I reading correctly? Schrodinger’s version of Publisher for iPad? 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I reading correctly? No, I meant that I have no doubt that APub will be released for iPad, but when it is released it should work on all currently supported iPads. I don’t expect it to be Pro only, let alone Pro M1.

VectorCat Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 The performance of M1 is clearly greater, but could the issue be one of writing for one architecture vs another, and why support 2 if you don’t have to? Apple have been pretty good at smoothing the bumps over chip transition. Affinity is stellar at supporting a range of hardware ages. If it’s just a speed difference, then to me it’s like, “your Maserati is faster than my Maserati.” I rarely wait for anything on this 2017 iPad Pro.

liumingming Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 New models of facilities can be made to support new functions. If you always have to take care of the old models, the software will not be able to get more function support. Many devices only have 2GB of ram.

There will NOT be any iPad version of Affinity Publisher in near future… Serif Labs hasn’t even an ready alpha version of Publisher ready, so it’s not any prioritizing of iPad just now… If ever, perhaps summer/fall 2023 we maybe can get the beta version, and, in WWDC in Palo Alto june 2024 it may be released… Maybe… I have recently began using Nomad Sculpt on iPad, and, this 3D one man developing software is really awesome, and it clearly proof that Serif could do better with Designer - it lacks so many core features after all this years, although Serif has a lot of resources compare to single person software companies… Quote Happy amateur that playing around with the Affinity Suite - really love typograhics, photographing, colors & forms, AND, Synthesizers!

Lately I had some conversation with an Serif employee thru DM on Twitter - according to him Serif hasn’t yet accomplished an alpha version that is enough stable… So, the time from now to an beta version may be more than twelve month away… Alfred 1 Quote Happy amateur that playing around with the Affinity Suite - really love typograhics, photographing, colors & forms, AND, Synthesizers!
