I'm thinking iPad so which iOs?
Unless you are thinking of purchasing an old iPad, the version of iPadOS is irrelevant because you can simply update to the newest version.
JT, you are correct. My question is exactly to help me think things through about what the best buy would be. The answer seems to be iOs 14:

I need to drop my old iPad that won't update further than iOs 12. I wish it was still possible to download an old version of the app...
My memory might not be good but I thought that if you attempted to download an app from Apple's App Store that was to modern for your OS it would revert to the most recent version that will run.
Don't forget that app.logos.com should run in Safari even on iOS 12.
The answer seems to be iOs 14:
Not so! If you buy a new iPad then you should be downloading iOS 15.1 to run on it.
My memory might also be short, but access to an older ios app is thru 'purchases' a user already purchased (if lucky). And if running a current ios, but older app (the reverse), sometimes you get lucky, and Apple updates an oldie.
I wish it was still possible to download an old version of the app...
I am not using iOS anymore, but I suspect the things I wrote in the following thread are still true. If you already own the app or buy it now on a friend's newer device. you will be able to download the old version through your "Purchased" list.

If you are buying a new iPad today, Apple will support it with iOS updates for at least 4-5 years. The Logos Bible app always will run on new iOS releases. Of course, over time the hardware will run the newer updates more slowly.
iOS 14.1, which is the minimum requirement for running version 9.8 of the mobile app today, was released in 2018. So, given that, you should be good running the mobile app on a new iPad that you buy today for about 6-7 years, I would guess.
I made the mistake of removing the Logos mobile app from my old iPad in case the L9 app was a totally different app. Nope. I should have checked before...
No, owning the app in my "purchased app" doesn't make it so that I'm offered an older version.
What I understand is that I should buy a device that's as up-to-date as possible in order to have it work for my needs as long as possible. I'm disappointed to have removed the app from my old iPad since it was still doing the job. I think older versions should be available, but I have no power over that.
Thanks for interacting on this!
