Yeah I have an iPad Mini 2(from 2014!) Which works absolutely fine - it even still receives security updates from apple. I thought it would be a great tablet for my kid to watch cartoons on, but nope, even though you can download the latest version of Netflix and Disney+ both apps just crash after 5-10 minutes of playback. And I'm guessing there's no one at either company interested in fixing this. I've restored the tablet to factory settings and the same thing still happens. So I ended up buying the cheapest Amazon Fire tablet for like £50 which is probably the slowest computing device I've ever owned but it runs all streaming services without any trouble. I'd much rather use the iPad.
- lordnacho 4y agoI have old tablets that are barely able to show a clock app, which is essentially the last thing they can be used for. Every single thing you try to do with it is slow as molasses.
- nottorp 4y agoFor a while the problem with older iDevices was the rapid ram increases across generations. Which leads to random crashes or crashes after some time on older devices because the devs tested on the latest and greatest. I think the ram growth has stagnated now? I kinda stopped caring.
