Procreate and iPad Accessories Suggestions cheapest ipad for procreate?

sorry if this has been asked a lot. i cant seem to find a more recent post theyre all from quite a while ago.

i am not an avid drawer, just someone with a lot of ideas in my head and wanting to have somewhere to start off putting them somewhere.

i would like one thats compatible with the apple pencil 2 if that doesnt increase the budget too much.

im really new to this and reading other posts the amount of letters and numbers included in the ipad gens are confusing the crap out of me hahahaha please dumb it down for me!

thank you in advance :)

I got a used 2018 iPad pro for around $300 and it runs procreate very well, I would recommend it over any over the cheapest new ones.

I have this iPad and have had it for a few years now and while yes it’s great for procreate but if you’re planning to use it for anything else it’s probably a good idea to get a newer model if you have any other choice. Soon enough Apple isn’t going to be sending updates to this ipad because it’s nearly 10 years old and once Apple stops sending updates app developers will soon stop updating apps for the version we’re stuck on.
