Get the last version instead of this one because it’ll save you a pile of money and you’ll still have updates for seven years.
E: if you haven’t ever bought Apple stuff secondhand, they take extreme measures to prevent theft and reselling which takes the form of device lockout. What this means is that someone might be selling a locked out device that can’t be recovered to you. Make sure you actually see that the device goes to the first time setup screen (or have the seller do a reset in front of you) or use a marketplace like eBay that does very easy returns.
Don’t forget that you need an iPhone for the setup. Or did they remove that requirement?
You don’t need one, you just need to create an apple id on a computer if you don’t have any other apple devices. That computer can run Linux or any other OS.
oh wait you need that? mmm...
You don't even need to add a payment method, it can be all made up info
ah okay
I think you just have to log into icloud on another computer nowadays.
