Default Re: What kind of iPad do I need to run PT App?

Definitely still from the Apple store/Amazon if you are getting a lighting cable model (which you should be -- you shouldn't go back to the 30pin cable models.) Probably findable on the used market (ebay, etc.) too.

Will this work? https://ebay.com/itm/NEW-Apple-iPad-...item2840373e4e


Also, I know you said it doesn't matter. But, if I wanted to increase the memory later, could I?

That’s a great iPad. Based on the specs and the dimensions it will work perfectly. You can’t upgrade the memory after purchase. But FWIW, 32GB is a fine size for using an iPad for administrative tasks and for entertainment.

For PT Control only, the smallest amount of memory will always work.

Also check the Apple refurb store. They have warranties.

The cheapest iPad Pro at the refurbished store was $219.00 MORE than the one on ebay. Is that one year warranty WORTH the price difference? Also, regarding those cables BScout mentioned, will they connect to the ebay model I showed you?

Yes. 4th Gen iPads and later use lightning ports which is what you need. The one you linked is 5th Gen. (all iPad mini and iPad Pros have always used lightning ports)

FWIW, I use an iPad Air 2, 32GB. That has the A8X processor. And has been running flawlessly.
The one you linked to has the A9 processor/M9 coprocessor. So beefier than my Dock iPad.
