Looking at some renewed iPads on Amazon. Wondering if 2018 renewed iPad or iPad 2 renewed would still be supported by apple, like get software updates and be able to play newer games/apps on it? Looking to get an iPad but I know after so long some iPads no longer do updates. But I just didn’t know if they were renewed if that makes a difference. Don’t want to waste money on an iPad we won’t be able to do updates on. Thanks.

Agreed. I only suggested the standard iPad (as opposed to Pro, Air, or Mini) required fifth generation or later.
To give you an idea, the iPhone 8, released by Apple in 2017, is the oldest iPhone capable of using the current operating system version. Similarly, the fifth generation iPad from 2017 is the oldest standard iPad that can use the current operating system.
All of these older model iPads below, CAN, currently, run the latest releases of iPadOS 16.
2015-2017, 12.9 inch screen iPad Pro models. ( 1st gen Pencil support )
2016 9.7 inch screen iPad Pro models. ( 1st gen Pencil support )
2017,10.5 inch screen iPad iPad Pro models ( 1st gen Pencil support )
2018 11 inch or 12.9 inch screen iPad Pro models ( 2nd gen Pencil support )
2020 11 inch or 12.9 inch screen iPad Pro models ( 2nd gen Pencil support )
2017, 9.7 inch screen iPad 5th gen models ( NO Pencil support )
2018, 9.7 inch screen iPad 6th gen models ( 1st gen Pencil support )
2019, 10.2 inch screen iPad 7th gen models ( 1st gen Pencil support )

Get the largest internal data storage model you can afford as NO Apple iOS device has ANY expandable storage.
Good Luck to You!
