I had the original iPad Mini pretty much since its release in 2012 and only recently replaced it with an iPad Air 2, and even then the only reason I could come up with to replace it was "I'm wanting to make apps for these devices again, and I need something newer to test on." Sure the browser on the iPad Mini couldn't handle too many tabs at once, and some apps started looking like they took a bit longer to load, but overall the iPad Mini was still doing everything I needed it to do: play Netflix, board game apps, music, browse the internet, and still felt pretty much as fast as the day I got it. Which I can't say the same about Android devices. Those tend to feel like slugs over time.
