Swapped my Wacom for an iPad Pro 3 years ago and my wrist finally forgave me

I used to draw everything on a Cintiq 22 with a 5-year-old desktop setup. After 8 hours of digital painting, my right wrist would ache for days. I switched to an iPad Pro in 2021 after a friend let me try hers for an afternoon. Now I can sit on the couch or at a coffee shop and still get the same line quality. The pressure sensitivity is close enough that I don't miss the Cintiq much. Anyone else made the jump from a desktop tablet to an iPad and found it changed your workflow way more than you expected?

Does the iPad overheat faster than your Cintiq did?

Wait, is that really a problem people are having? Mine gets warm if I'm charging and drawing at the same time but it's never been bad enough to actually stop me from working.
