iPad. But there are still different options out there for different users. For a start the latest version, Procreate 5.3.7, requires iPad OS 15.4.1 or newer. Although every iPad in this guide meets this requirement, that immediately sidelines older iPads. and the 10th Gen iPad. In fact, we've put together five options below that should hopefully cover your needs, whether they are budget, power or Apple Pencil compatibility.

The large screen also means you have a lot of workspace to use. However, bear in mind that this means the overall size of the iPad Pro is very large compared to other iPads and tablets. So if you want something more portable, you may prefer a smaller and lighter iPad, such as number 3 or 4 on this list.

There are some compromises, however. It uses the A14 chip, rather than the more powerful M1 or M2 chips now found in higher-end iPads, so while Procreate runs fine, you don't get quite as slick an experience. It's also only compatible with the first Apple Pencil and Apple Pencil 3, but not the Apple Pencil 2.

The latest iPad Air also comes in five colour options, so there's more personalisation, and it works with the Apple Pencil 2 and 3. The one thing that does disappoint us, however, is that it only comes with two storage sizes: a 64GB version, which is really too small these days, and a 256GB one, which may be too big for some people. Meanwhile, for real power users, we're disappointed that there's no 512GB or even 1TB storage sizes on offer.

While it doesn't boast the improved internals or newer look of more recent iPads, it is still perfectly good enough for Procreate, and the lower price makes it a great choice if you want to save some money. The 2021 model has a 10.2in 1620 x 2160 LCD screen, which is large and comfortable enough to work on, and yet still perfectly portable.
