So it's been 10 / 11 years since the Apple iPad was brought to us. What kind of legacy has it had? What implications does it have for the future of digital storefronts? What lessons could we learn?

But more importantly... How usable is it in 2024? Over 10 years since it's release.
Does it have a use? Or does it belong in e-waste?
Let's dig into this together!

This video took months to create, what with the world being how it is, having a full time job and dealing with health issues. This year has definitely tested me. But I had to finish it, it had to be done because it's been 10 years. I can't do it next year or it would be 11. I apologise for the hiccups in quality and rendering. I've never made a video like this before, I may not make one like it again. But I've always wanted to make one like this and my curiosity for the Apple iPad definitely gave me an opportunity I couldn't refuse!

Do you still have an old iOS device like an iPhone/iPad/iPod? Do you still use it? If so what for?
Is there a nostalgia for these devices? Or do you just move on from it?
Let me know what you guys think!

Here is my list of apps, I haven't added links mostly due to time constraints but I want to create a kind of wiki page. Anyone with information on how to make this would be really appreciated! As I would love to provide links to all apps on the list!

iTunes 12.6.5.3 (The Last Version to support Apps on the Appstore)

9:48 something called a jailbreak will do you miracles

Just so yall know, Imessage DOES work, but it is only compatible with other iPhones. For example, if your sister has an iPhone, you can text her. If your brother has a Samsung, you cant.

I have it and still play with some high graphic games on it but mostly all the games are either not compatible or they just lag and crash

I use my iPad as a manga reader. I downloaded a piracy app back in 2016 that got pulled almost immediately off the app store. The api that it used still works though and a few sites it pulls from still function. Mostly get scanalations of old/obscure manga that the copyright holder don't care about anymore.
