I'm unclear on what I can get away with if I'm syncing a newer iPad Pro and a much older iPad mini. The Pro is iOS 18.-something; the Mini is iOS 12.7. Can files and apps from the mini function. on the iPad Pro? Can they talk to each other via iCloud? How to find out more about it?

Do you really mean “syncing” (keeping the data the same on two devices), or do you really mean “migrating” (moving to a new device), which seems much more likely? As you consider the answer, please realize an Apple Account should be used by exactly one person.

Apps become obsolete. Developers may stop supporting them. They may no longer be offered in the App Store. Your iPad Pro can only use apps available in the App Store when it is set up.

Thank you for the information. Considering the differences in "age", I expect that some apps will no longer be useful. I'll check out Apple Support.
You’re welcome. Enjoy your Apple gear.
