Old ipad

[George K]

D3 gave me her old iPad Air (2). It has the original 30 pin connector. I've wiped it clean, reinstalled the OS, etc.

Going to the app store, I can see that I am able to do...nothing with it.

The only thing that it seems to be useful for is web browsing with Safari.

Is there anything else anyone can think of that it might be useful for?

That's what I still have. Works fine, but I suppose I have older apps on it.

What's the latest version of supported OS?
Do email and YouTube still work?

[George K]

@Axtremus I'll have to charge it up and check, LOL.

All that works fine on mine and it's up to date on OS.

@Axtremus iOS 9.35 - that's as far as it'll go.

YouTube is not downloadable - "Not compatible with this iPad."

I just set up Apple Mail and that's good.

Youtube via Safari works.

We’ve still got all of our old iPads (except for the very first when that broke when I dropped it, and the one that flew off the Steve’s car on the interstate when he left it on the roof of his car - he went back and found it, but it had a big tire mark on the cover) I use the old ones to store photos on that I use for painting references (so much easier to have a photo on a big screen, can’t believe I used to paint huge paintings from tiny 3.5 x 5 photographs).
