Torrent clients are banned from the Apple Store and you can't sideload apps. It's a very restrictive device in many respects.
You can sideload apps but it’s really annoying without having a developer account or without a bought udid (which is I think not really allowed). This would however allow you to have sideload more apps and you only have to refresh the certificates every year. You can still sideload with sideloadly or altstore but as I said, it’s really annoying because you need to refresh the certificates every few days and you can only have 3 apps sideloaded.
On the other hand, as of June 2023, general dev accounts have become free. They only cost 100 USD when you want to submit apps to the App Store. It’s still a hassle, compared to Android, but it’s not as bad anymore.
uuff, that apple silicon is the only thing that made me wanna buy an ipad in the first place but I can't deal with their restrictive software environment.
Get a used M1 Macbook Air. MacOs isnt restricted like their mobile devices. Its passivly cooled, relativly cheap, portable and also capable for more serious productive work.
Unless you require storage (or memory)
Definetly get the base model, use a NAS for storage and just download more RAM
