My teenager is asking for a screen to connect to his raspberry pi. I guess he’d probably also like to be able to connect his iPad to it at some stage. Any suggestions?
Screen for Raspberry Pi

Try a VNC app on your phone or tablet.
Oh yes good thought! Will give VNC viewer a go!
Similar to above - enable RDP on the pi and connect through the RDP app?
The only downside is that you need a Wifi/Ethernet connection for it to work.
You can buy second hand full hd computer monitors with HDMI ports for just a few tens of dollars on Facebook Marketplace. With a Raspberry Pi 3, you'll also need a standard HDMI to HDMI cable; with a Raspberry Pi 4 you'll need a micro HDMI to standard HDMI cable.
Thanks
Get a cheap used monitor or use vnc
Or even learn command line and just use ssh.
I'm not familiar with all the Pi models but the 3 and 4 at least both have HDMI ports so you can connect it to anything with HDMI. As for the ipad, never used one but some kind of terminal app and a remote connection should be easy.
