Thank you. Quite price hike for 500gb of storage?
If you want a smooth experience and you are editing photos, or using any kind of professional software on a iPad Pro, purchase a 1TB and do not look back. Rest assured all of the memory can be utilized, no memory is used for storage space.
All iPads have 7% of there ram being utilized no matter if it is 4GB, or 6GB. The 512GB iPad Pro has around 3.69GB of ram available for applications. Well I’ve used over 4GB of ram in Adobe Rush CC with 1.55GB free on my 1TB iPad.
So, with only around 3.7GB of ram available on the lower storage ipad pro’s, Adobe rush starts sucking a lot of it up, during editing, numerous files are added, removed, several cuts, and filters use more and more memory during the period of getting in your groove and just editing a simple clip, after your free memory is depleted, Adobe rush starts working on borrowing inactive memory to maintain the application. This is when micro stutters, and lagging performance starts to happen.

While I agree with you that RAM is never used for storage, and that’s a foolish rumor, I’d disagree that most would see a difference in performance between a 4GB and 6GB model. App-wise, the 6GB can’t do anything the 4GB model can’t. The only place you’d really see it in use is in lack of app refreshes.
I’d only recommend the 1TB for someone using Adobe photoshop, or Rush, or iMovie frequently. I could literally put a 512GB 11” beside a 1TB 11” and recreate the same problem every single time. The stuttering is severe and your preview plays at around 3 frames per second after about 15-20 minutes once the 4GB models memory is near the bottom. And closing the application fixes the problem, only for another few more minutes, until the memory is depleted again.

Honestly your right. But, before I even owned the 1TB iPad Pro. I owned a iPad Pro 11” 64GB, The experience was almost always very smooth with all of my usage. Until I was casually editing a video and started experiencing the problem I described in Adobe Rush ^ above. And then, after dealing with touch issues I ended up with a 1TB iPad Pro 11” that’s when I realized all of this about the memory situation. I borrowed my brother 512GB while he was on vacation, and started putting way to many hours in researching memory usage across both models.
Apple should have given them all 6GB of ram. But, I guess with there supplier or whoever they buy there storage and memory from in bulk the combination didn’t work out that way.
I have no idea.
