    I love my 6th gen! I use it daily and the battery is still awesome! I have thousands of shows and documentaries downloaded on it and use it for media consumption daily with zero issues! I cannot yet spend the difference in price on a newer model considering how well this still works & is still up to date with iOS!! It’s still great for me.

    There’s a very nostalgic feeling around the 6th gen iPad. It was the last iPad to have the same design and form factor of the iPad Air 2 (my first iPad). The 6th gen iPad is still very usable in early/mid 2024, great for simple web browsing, TH-cam video watching, reading books, and so much more. The screen is also very sharp and the battery (if relatively new) lasts for hours. I think there are better budget iPads today like the 9th and 10th gen models, but the 6 will still be used by me as a spare tablet for hopefully many years to come.

    IOS 17 runs on it. However, even though my iPad has 91% battery left (as of last month), it runs warm and the battery drains quickly. With 3gb of ram and 128gb, it isn't optimal choice any longer.

    it was my 1st ipad it holds a special place in my heart and is one of the best devices i have used it was one of the greatest for its time and as a budding tech phone watching this simple budget ipad was like watching and using a supercomputer around ios 14 it started getting fairly slow and it was slightly better after a hard reset in 2021 i gave it up for my first phone as my parents didnt want me having a phone and an ipad i defeintly miss it and wished it stil remained but it doesnt if you do buy you should get the 128 gb version because the 32 gb fills up very fast

    I’m picking one up for $100, I think it will suit my needs as I only plan to watch TH-cam, read news and FB/Instagram on it. I want something bigger than my iPhone 11 when laying in bed, and my 2015 MacBook Pro is a bit too big for this task. Having both Mac and iPhone from before, this tablet will glide smoothly into my current eco system.

    For the most basic of uses yes. But even if you use safari you will have pages crash on you because of the low amount of ram this thing has. You will also notice lag in general performance it’s not really ideal anymore. It’s also not going to get ipados 18. Get a newer device, anything with more 6gb RAM.
