Wondering about APPLE PENCIL differences? I got you:

The Apple Pencil detects pressure, not the iPad. Just ensure that whichever iPad you choose, that you have the correct Pencil. The Pencil models are not interchangeable; your chosen iPad will only be compatible with the first or second generation Pencil.

The significant differences between the first and second generation Pencil are:

charging and pairing - with the second generation using inductive charging/pairing instead of a Lightning connection
tool selection by tapping the pencil - only available with the second generation Penci

Do you have any recommendations for someone looking to do comics/webcomics as a majority of their art? I've been around the art scene doing mostly fanwork - and it's been fine. I use procreate already and do a lot of digital painting but I just decided to dip into webcomics because of a recent Tapas contest going on. The problem is, I've been working on a Ipad 7th gen since 2021 and while it was functional for just painting it's not ideal for comics since it only has a 32 gb capacity. I've been struggling with storage, since most my work requires a 300 dpi so they are not small by any means. And some templates that I have for comics dont even want to open because my ipad just doesnt have the capability. :s I've been looking to upgrade my ipad to work more efficiently but 2k is (as you mentioned in this video) just too much. the estimated life span for apple support on my ipad is approaching pretty quickly ( it was released 2019 and the average life span is 5 years) so, I'm getting a bit desperate to find something that works and isn't 2k. I don't even mind 1k. But 2k is just pushing it.
Any and all help is appreciated :S and thank you for this video!
