Will procreate work with iPad air 2 (a1566) ? Looking at getting one second hand to do digital drawings.
Procreate will work on a 2014 iPad Air 2 with, at least, iPadOS 13.2.
However, NO Apple Pencils will work with iPad Air 2 model.
That iPad Air 2 model is too old and is missing a crucial internal screen hardware layer need for an Apple Pencil to be recognised and interact with the iPad screen.

If you purchase an iPad Air 2 used/second hand, make sure this iPad does NOT have user activation lock and has been properly reset for sale.
A properly reset fof sale iPad should initially power up to an animated, multi-language “Welcome” screen.
DO NOT take the iPad seller's word that this iPad is user activation lock free,
We have seen plenty of used iOS device purchasers get scammed.
If you are purchasing this used iPad online ask the seller to provide multiple images, either online or be sent to you via email, showing this animated, multi-language “Welcome” screen of the interested in purchasing iPad model.
Even better, ask for a short video be sent to you showing this animated, multi-language “Welcome” screen, in action and in its entirety, posted to the online ad or emailed to you.
If the online iPad seller refuses any of these requests, pass on the iPad. DO NOT buy.
Best of Luck to You!
Thanks! Not too fussed on the apple pencil. Just want to play around with procreate on a budget. Then may upgrade if I really want to in the future to much fancier kit 😁
Thank you for the information! I'm purchasing from a well known friend and I've already seen the iPads welcome screen.
