apple product support ios upgard 6 years and one more thing the end support for ios usable on app store is add more 5 years, meaning from buying at the release date you can nomarly use ios and app store for 11 years.
I have this iPad on iOS 9. I finally upgraded to a 9th generation iPad. It was a little slow. I got an iPhone 12 so I stopped using it. But then I looked at the iPad. I decided to upgrade. It can still do iMessage and FaceTime. Modern apps won’t download or won’t be able to run on the latest version. I will keep it because I like to play with old technology.
Lately I`ve been using IPAD2 as midi touch controller for desktop music apps called Ableton . And it working fine . Right now I`m still looking video tutorial about app called Touch PORTAL which in theory will able turning my old ios devices into shortcut or keystroke helper for any desktop software ( especially for adobe ones)

When I was a 12 year old girl I saved up my allowance to buy myself this second gen iPad. I wish it was easier to crack and maybe replace the iOS with a custom OS maybe a lightweight ARM Linux, as my beloved childhood iPad is now almost useless.
I was still using mine in april 2021 when it suddenly wouldn't load any webpages. So it suddenly became useless. Quite amazingly the battery still had charge a year later! I started using with a teleprompter, it works great but I have to write the script on it. Seems it's been hobbled and won't login to google or icloud. I am still looking for a way to get text files on to it. I found apps that go on it by selecting order by age rather than relevance, in the appstore, the only problem is you can't select oldest first, so you have to scroll to the bottom of the listings. Anyone know if I can use it as a camera monitor?
@@retrorevive711 yeah, the hardest part was finding an old camera kit with the 30 pin connector. I also read scores on PDF, you could use forScore but it's a paid app. Metronome apps are available as well. Netflix and Prime video work ok and Spotify doesn't show many things, but you can access recently played and your library, so, yeah, its still good for a couple of things. Great vid!
Interesting.. just bought a refurbished iPad mini I think it is the iPad mini 1. It's the first apple product I have bought and ran into the bit being able to install any apps. I was hoping your video would have some suggestions on how to sideload some apps. Every video I have seen so far has suggested using a new ios device abs then loading the apps using the ID on the newer device. Don't have any other ios device. Although I do have a mac mini, but I don't think that would work ios vs ventura os. Any suggestions?
I am a Windows user and use 3utools to sideload apps, so idk about a mac alternative. Maybe iFunBox? Also make sure you get appsync from Karen's repo. There probably tutorials online
For me in 2023 it just wouldn’t be worth the buy anymore. It has very little app support. TH-cam app no longer works on the iPad second generation. I mean, if you plan on doing everything through the web browser, which is also very sluggish and slow. It’s just not worth it anymore in 2023 in my opinion, as I still have an iPad second generation, and it’s just very unusable
If you have a newer iPhone, use that same login on your iPad 2 and you will be able to download TH-cam and many other apps that aren’t “compatible” with the iPad mini 2. I just did this today and it works.
Does the iPad 2 still support the Apple store? Can I download Apps from the store ? I wish to buy one , for doing an online course through an app. Please reply
Not if you have iOS 6.3 installed and ALL the Apps you ever purchased! Mine still has all the superb apps for DJing, VJing, Karaoke, Tons of Arcade games, DIgital Signage Software, Realtime Camera FX apps etc
Let me help, feem v3 will help you to share files through ipad 2 to android and vice versa..

Thank you fuavy👍
I recently had my dad fix a iPad 2 coma which I downgraded to iOS 6.1.3 and works great
Good video, but you need to get a better mic to push the quality up to the next level
Thanks so much for the feedback! I'll definitely look into getting one for future videos
@@retrorevive711 you're welcome! Honestly, the rest is really professionally and we'll done. Just the mic

Yo, you got that protective case drip on the iPad. I plan on getting one for an upcoming Christmas purchase of an iPad Mini 2.
Very nice, quick question, there’s a windows icon on the ipad, what is that for?
I literally just finished setting up my old iPad 2 as a second monitor for my Windows PC! It's easy and free with Splashtop.
When I was a 12 year old girl I saved up my allowance to buy myself this second gen iPad. I wish it was easier to crack and maybe replace the iOS with a custom OS maybe a lightweight ARM Linux, as my beloved childhood iPad is now almost useless.
Mine has been updated to iOS 9.something
Great video Hassan!
Good film, thx. I've just bought one for my Mom. Can you use these old units for Google internet browsing ok?

Am I the only person that doesn't think it's slow on iOS 9?
My sister actually had the same iPad with the same exact case
I can see you kinda have the same style as dankpods! lovin it! Also, i have the same case but the black one! Lol!
Thanks! Yea, the case is a classic, I saw a lot like like them back in the day lol
Bro... I've subbed. I'm gonna be with you till you get famous (Remember me ok) !
I will bro💯 thank you so much for the support👍
With a camera kit you can control a casio digital piano for example, or any midi controller, you can use garage band or some other that still works.
That's cool! I didn't even think of using it as keyboard equipment

Since you can’t do security updates on a gen 2, isn’t it risky to use? Could you expose your network or other devices to malware etc.?
same with me, which IPAD 2 I use only use iBook 😄
Cool video. I subscribed
Thanks👍

Why you couldn’t have iOS 9 on iPad 2
No music next time please as it makes it hard to hear

How did you get that Awesome Dock and Animated Wallpaper on iOS6 ???
My iPad is jailbroken! Here are the tweaks i had: the dock was springtomize, but I can be wrong and the wallpaper was LivePapers
You can still install and watch youtube videos?
Do you have a guide to downgrade to ios6?
Does the iPad 2 still support the Apple store? Can I download Apps from the store ?
I wish to buy one , for doing an online course through an app.
Please reply
Don't get it for the app store and online courses, you need a newer device
@@retrorevive711 ok thanks for the reply
These are £22 in the UK at CEX. They are basically junk sadly - but perhaps someone can make use.
