My mom was using her original ipad air up to last month. She didn't HAVE to switch, but she appreciated the upgrade to a much nicer screen and louder speakers.

It was so weird how apple discontinued the iPad 3 so fast, but kept the 2 around for years. My school district spent a small fortune on getting these iPad 2 models into our classrooms. It was a big deal to have these in class.

For those who were wondering about Minecraft it does you just have to play 1.16.5 because apparently that’s the last version supported because when my dad downloaded Minecraft from the App Store it was on 1.16.5

3:28 I have the same iPad, and Twitter actually DOES load, its just that the X transition broke a lot of features but the core functionality is still there

I still have an iPad 2 laying around, and for some time during covid, I used it to Facetime other people, because I only had an Android. Still works with FaceTime, but most of the other apps became shitty and laggy sadly.

My dad still owns his old iPad 2 he got 13 years ago when it first came out. The only issue is that it doesn’t do a software update. And my first iPad I got for Christmas still works perfectly.

there is no such problem on android. You can use 10 year old instalation file

The iPad 3 had 30-pin too. It was pretty much the same device except with a way better screen (and double the RAM, but still felt slow probably due to the high screen resolution)

I have an I pad 2 from when I was little and it still runs great

My guy literally had a personal conversation through FaceTime on his iPad 2 by accident using his car details lol 😅

i LOVE so much the old macos and ios design.

In my experience older Android versions have considerably better app compatibility than old IOS versions, I suppose as a side effect of worse software support. I have a phone in my drawer running an old 4.4.4 Kitkat ROM, and that has support for a surprising amount of apps. Although, it's definitely limited in what it can do nowadays. Android 6 or 7 can still run most modern apps though, and those came out 2015 and 2016. I'd imagine an old Nexus 7 tablet would still run most modern apps, although I expect it would be quite slow.

The iPad 2 was the first iPad that I got. Stopped using it 4 years ago. It worked great.

Ironically, it’d get more useful if you jailbreak and downgrade to iOS 6. You can techically get iOS 1-5 YouTube app with custom API and it’ll work.

As a person who has been using an iPad 2 running ios 9.5.3 for 3 years now, even though i can barely play anything, i can still use it! I can still watch youtube in safari, atleast some games i like actually work, being able to browse some websites, i can say, that it is possible to use an iPad 2 in 2023

[sono_nuvola]

I used it for a while. About 10 years. Considering that I started using it in 2013. Now I use a new iPad but even if I couldn't play Roblox or TS with the old one, I had a great time

The call on the iPad might be someone called Rick Hemes

The last iPad that used 30 pin charger is iPad 3, not 2

you could get the ipad to a working state that most of the apps will probably work by downgrading the ipad to older version of ios like 6.1.3 and use an old version of the apps through jailbreaking, yes it’s definitely very annoying that every time you wanted a new apps you need to get the computer, download the ipa file and downloading it using third party apps that potentially have some sort of malware, spyware installed in it but it surely an experience and it does bring up some nostalgia
