help iPad (6th generation) 128GB FAQ

Does the iPad 6th generation still get iPadOS updates from Apple?

The iPad 6th generation supports iPadOS 17, though some newer features like Apple Intelligence are not available on its A10 Fusion chip. Apple released this model in 2018, and it remains functional for basic browsing, media consumption, and note-taking despite being several generations behind current iPads.

Can I use the Apple Pencil 2 with the iPad 6th generation?

No, the iPad 6th generation only supports the original Apple Pencil (1st generation), which charges by plugging into the iPad's Lightning port. The Apple Pencil 2 with magnetic wireless charging requires newer iPad Pro or iPad Air models.

Is 128GB of storage enough on the iPad 6th generation for school and drawing?

For most students, 128GB is ample for textbooks, documents, and a reasonable library of apps and photos. If you plan to store large Procreate files, downloaded Netflix episodes, or offline maps, you will need to manage storage more carefully but 128GB gives significantly more breathing room than the base 32GB model.

Can the iPad 6th generation run Procreate smoothly for digital art?

Yes, Procreate runs on the iPad 6th generation with the A10 Fusion chip, and it works well with the first-generation Apple Pencil for sketching and painting. Artists working with very high canvas resolutions or many layers may notice some lag compared to iPad Pro models with M-series chips.
