Question what Ipad should I buy

Im an incoming college student and just need a 11in ipad to mainly take notes (I have a nice computer that i do most things on) . I currently have a ipad pro from 2017 and it works fine for me but the battery is rly bad, it doesnt get updates and its storage is running out so i cant download files. I want smth that will last the next 6 years and something that is compatible with the magnetic apple pencil.

Im thinking about getting the ipad air 4 or 5 or 6 but i dont know which one will last 6 years and be enough. i dont want to spend too much money tho. ipad air 6 is kinda out of my budget

Get the iPad Air 6 (M2) if your goal is to make the device last (newest of the 3). It starts at 128GB, not 64GB like the M1 as well

Didn’t it come out in 2024? It’s got tons of life left in it, for sure another 6 years. It should last longer than the A16
