what to buy to do minimal iPad safari debugging?

It's all detailed in these pages: [opacity - CSS | MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/opacity) [visibility - CSS | MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/visibility)

Support for visibility: collapse is missing or partially incorrect in some modern browsers. It may not be correctly treated like visibility: hidden on elements other than table rows and columns.
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

Any suggestions on what mac device to buy so can debug a web page running on iPads. iPhones less worried - if working on iPad will just assume width/height worst problems. all dev work windows with chrome. with iPad being a last test consideration (at the moment). but if page not working, iPad cannot remote debug to windows (currently, maybe some mythical future changes this). Dont want to blow 1k on laptop, if the Mac-minis would be enough. Any comments on using a Mac-Mini for debugging iOS safari? also I guess the OS upgrades a consideration. I know the iPads and MacPros get updates for some time, but do the Mini's, or are people "encouraged" to upgrade to get the latest os? Maybe a second hand would be enough. Not interested in massive dev work. More like, connect it, open safari remote debugger. check line that is the issue. go back to Windows dev machine. fix it. retest. though visual studio code runs on Mac - maybe I just move to a mac, and use the free Microsoft IE vms they provide to test IE.
You don't have to spend $1K, not even close. I faced the same situation awhile back with a web application my organization developed; it worked for every browser, desktop or mobile, except iOS Safari. I picked up a 2009 MacBook Pro running El Capitan with 4GB RAM and 120GB SSD from a local computer shop for $325. With this setup, I was able to connect my iPad and quickly identify the CSS element causing the issue. The deals are out there (local shops, pawn shops, Craigslist, etc.), you just have to be persistent.

Well you're the one having problems with Safari on iPads, not me. ;P My point is that I'd stay away from visibility altogether and find another way of doing it. The more browsers and devices you want to support, the simpler (and standards compliant) you should keep your code.
