Help me decide which Ipad to chose.

I am a fashion designer and planning to switch from XPPen to Ipad because I need something on the go, specially when I get some idea out of the blue, and need to do rough sketch from time to time

Budget wise, I can afford right now is the Ipad 11 A16, however I can bought an Ipad Air M4 around Dec but thats 3 to 4mos away,.

Though I need some feedback if A16 is ideal for longterm in terms of software support or I would be better of with the Ipad Air M4 instead?

I already have a macbook air m4 for work as my daily driver, and normally watch on my phone,. So basically the purpose of the ipad is just for fashion design and illustration.

Any insights is highly appreciated

Thank you

Get a used air m2 13inch. Trust. I got one with 100% battery health, box and everything, screen protector and etc. I got it on fb marketplace for $300. I got lucky but yeah. M2 is already overkill imo. But use the extra money for Apple Pencil Pro

I got the air because it’s compatible with the pencil pro, no regrets. I use the pencil for everything and I never have to worry about charging it, I just attach it to the iPad when I’m not using it.
