This Christmas I'm getting my best friend an iPad.
She has an iPhone and a MacBook pro.
She writes knitting patterns on an app that would run on an iPad and will be a statistician or a CPA (or maybe try both at different times)
And she will use the Apple pencil and take notes for school most likely.
I'm looking for suggestions on model and hard drive size.
Thanks in advance
iPad Pro 11-inch Wi-Fi
Any current iPad will work for that. The real thing you would need to decide between is the screen size and camera quality. And wether she would prefer the Apple Pencil second generation for some features it has.
You can compare the iPads here: link-> iPad - Compare Models - Apple
For most things I would suggest the iPad Air: link-> iPad Air - Technical Specifications - Apple
I would also suggest no less than 128GB space regardless of which iPad you choose.
Do note before making any decisions that a new entry level iPad, iPad Air and maybe an iPad mini are likely to be revealed in September.
You can see both pencils here: https://www.apple.com/apple-pencil/
But yes, as Celliot mentions above, the iPad model will dictate the Pencil you can get for it.
So if you choose the iPad Air, you need to get the Second Generation Pencil as its not compatible with the first generation Pencil.
Basically the option is if your friend would prefer the wireless charging and the tap to change tools on the Second Gen, then you would need to choose an iPad Air or iPad Pro.
Apple only has one Pencil option for each device. The device either is compatible with the 1st generation pencil (of the current iPads, this only applies to the iPad mini and iPad), or it is compatible with the 2nd gen pencil (this would be the iPad Air or iPad Pro devices).
Thank you. Do you know if there is a compare apple pencil option?
Which iPad should I get for my best friend?
