iPad 2. Also had an iPad 3, both are no longer supported by Apple.

Hurts, because the hardware still works.

I still read hacker news every day on something similar (I don't remember exactly), but no posts hosted on medium.com will open. And there is no ad blocker available as far as I know.

    Sounds like a great feature!

    Recently we had a post about websites smaller than 1MB, I think this is a much better metric: "Will load on iPad 2 in <10s". Or "Will load on a Pentium II without OOM"

Yes. My iPad 4 (A1458) is doomed. No updates and new releases of apps don't work because the OS version isn't supported. I'm perplexed as to why the app store would even let me update those apps at all.

yup, my 2 still works passably as a youtube watcher though

  • I have an ipad2. Jailbroken with the ability for game emulation and multiwindow and mouse/keyboard support well before those were all allowed by apple. Clearly the hardware was always capable of lots.
