I was wondering what user experience has been upgrading their iPad to the latest model available. I’ve been using the 2nd generation pro (pre m4).

I also don’t have a great understanding of the performance specs on iPads and how they correspond to my basic and seemingly outdated view of processor speed and ram (my first computer was a 1998 gateway desktop)

Is there a resource on the shapr3d website that discusses the various iPad models and also how shapr3d creates its architecture to utilize the varying resources amongst different iPad models?

I know the ram is different between iPad Pro models based on SSD size and I wonder if that matters if the programming uses available space on the SSD to act as RAM. Any insights appreciated.
