Nice setup! Someday I will end up with a UDM-Pro...someday.

Only the one on the top is in use, and as of right now I only have one of the bottom two (gave the other away to a co-worker. If anyone on here is in the Cleveland Ohio area and could use a Cisco UCS C220 M3 for their homelab, reach out.
Unit in use is a Cisco C220 M5SX with 2x Xeon Gold 6132 (56 total threads) and 768GB RAM, 4x 1.2TB SAS drives.
Current setup:
2TB Apple Time Capsule
48 port PoE Cicso Catalyst switch
Unifi US8-60W switch
Unifi USG
QNAP 6-bay NAS with 4x 2TB and 2x 4TB WD Gold drives
AT&T ONT and residential gateway box
There is an add-on that lets the E3v2 screen work with klipper. I have it working and while the feature set is a bit limited its enough to see the print status and start a new print (among other things). You just need to run 7 wires from the screen to the GPIO pins on the pi. I used a front panel cable from an old PC case to accomplish this. Check it out!
I wouldn't say they "just work" out of the box but that they print pretty good in their out of the box configuration without having to resort to making modifications.
Know if there is an iOS version?
I love it for the gestures that MacOS supports. Great for switching between remote desktop sessions.
I use something like this to keep an example of filaments I have used. It is customizable to you can add your own text.
Check out any of the Ender 3 series of printers. They print good out of the box and can print even better with some light modification. The community is large if you ever need help and spare parts are easy to get.

I would go with an Ender 3 variant as they are very popular and community support for them will be plentiful. Also, spare parts will be easy to get. Then once you get past the beginner stage you can spring for a P1P or Prusa.
The 200GB is shared between everyone on the family sharing plan. Did your wife set up family sharing and invite your account? If not, that needs to be done, then the 200GB will show up on your device. I would get this set up first so you see the extra 200GB, then cancel your 50GB plan. That way you know you are covered by a storage plan and not trying to rush to set something up before 30 days expire.
