Using the first iPad... 10 years later

The first iPad may just be the greatest innovation of the 2010's, being the first good tablet. How does it hold up nearly 10 years later?
Happy new year!

The iPad is still my favorite Apple product to this day and was the device that got me into technology. My first iPad was the iPad 2 and it still works great 8 years later. My current iPad right now is the iPad Pro 2018 and I cannot believe how far this device has come in terms of the design and functionality.

That old iOS design still gives me chills. It was so good. It felt so human and alive.

Fun fact: this ipad is older than most fortnite players!

I remember when the first iPad came out. I saw other college students in the library try to type an entire essay with just their iPad's touchscreen keyboard. Must have been a pain in the ass.

Seeing that old YouTube logo really brought back memories of the old YouTube.

I still remember getting this when I was 7. It was my favourite device that I've owned and it was just so fun to use and play around with. Seeing that iconic home screen and wallpaper makes me tear up 🥲

[ohreally]

I remember when this came out and my brother bought it and everyone was always surrounding him and were in awe. He still has it

Yall remember playing angry birds on the old ipads

I brought this thing to primary school back when nobody in the Netherlands even knew what an iPad was and they thought I was from the future or smthing

iPad is my favorite product Apple has ever made! Right now I am using the 2019 budget 10.2 iPad with my Smart Keyboard it’s perfect for me!

[jhermikoski]

I still got mine, just plugged it in for charging after seeing this! Bought it from Apple 5th avenue, my first ever visit to official Apple store. Replaced the original with Ipad Air when it launched in 2013, and now my wife is using the Air while I got the Pro for myself. Both the original Ipad and Air are still working flawlessly, amazing devices!

I love my iPad Pro. I use it for business and creative use. I remember when everyone wanted a "tablet-style" iPod Touch. Thanks, Steve!

As an app dev, I always thought there was a strong market to develop apps for older iOS devices. I still have my iPT that stops at iOS 6.1 and I can do so many things with it if I cared to write the apps.
IMO, Apple really screwed up with the App Store not sorting by iOS version. People paid quite a bit for these devices and now Apple just dumps them. The devices themselves are sill great, you just have to find apps for them. Shame on Apple for not at least having those old apps somewhere.

I have one, and it’s an absolute tank. I also have the newest pros but occasionally pull out the gen 1 to wax nostalgic. It still works and iOS 5 was beautiful

[oneallallone]

Nice video. The 1st gen is now a collector's item. You are right. The ipad has won the tablets war. I remember when the tablets flooded the market.

My dad uses an iPad 3 still to this day, he got it as a present from his work when he left it, and sadly that was when the 3 was the newest iPad. It’s kind of slow but it serves his needs just fine

[mikkelsmakage]

My ipad Air 2 2013 still going strong! I have used it everyday and its still going. Best purchase ever!🙌

I love how you have a Wii Mini in the background!! The most UNDERWHELMING version of it!! 😂
