iPadOS 14.6 allocates a maximum of 5GB of RAM to apps, even though the device has an M1-soc with 8 or 16GB of RAM. That is the conclusion of the developer of Artstudio Pro after conducting tests on the new iPad Pros.

Developer LuckyClan responded to a forum thread of the graphics app ProCreate asking users to learn more about that app’s future capabilities for iPadOS. In the message, the developer of the Artiststudio Pro app stated that iPad apps on iPadOS 14.6 are not allocated more than 5.1GB of RAM by the operating system, even though the device has an M1-soc with 8GB or 16GB of RAM. “If we allocated more RAM to the app, it would crash,” said the developer. “That’s only 0.5GB more than in older models that have 6GB of RAM.”

The development team behind ProCreate sets out to follow this discovery on Twitter that all iPads with an M1-soc can allocate the same amount of RAM for the time being.

Apple will hold an online edition of its World Wide Developers Conference on June 7. According to various rumors, the company will release iPadOS 15, iOS 15 and macOS 12 there.
