I have an original iPad 2, and it still works (mostly) fine. The browser likes to crash on the weather.com map. But, outside of that, and few other choice crashes, it works fine. Youtube app works perfect, and I use some iOS synths like Animoog and PPG Wave without any issues.
And, the battery still lasts for a long time. If I don't touch it for a few days, it's charge is where I left it. Pretty amazing. No reason to upgrade this thing.
- jakobegger 9y agoMy mom has an iPad 2, and I made the mistake of installing iOS 7 or 8, or whichever is the latest version. Made it almost unbearable slow.
- endemic 9y agoReally frustrating that newer versions of iOS inevitably run more slowly on aging hardware, Apple incessantly prompts you to update, and there's no way to roll back. Sure, I miss security fixes if I don't update, but at the point when Apple stops supporting the hardware, what's the difference?
