I'm quite impressed at my original iPad 2 that I purchased 7 years ago
in 2011 is still going strong. Just checked the battery health and it's
at 85% useful life, which is impressive. The iPad 2 is probably one of
the oldest pieces of technology that has survived and continues to work
as designed. Granted it's a bit laggy relative to my more modern
laptops and iPhones, but is totally functional and I rely upon for both
its size, weight and form factor as its unparalleled in terms of reading
PDF documents; especially with the handy bookmarking feature.
While it's required me maintaining a set of old charging cables, the
battery life allows me to use this tablet for several days between
charges, so I'm not as concerned. Perhaps in 3-5 years I'll finally
retire this device and upgrade to a new iPad or relevant tablet.
Update - Aug 2023 - Digital Photo Frame
Now in its 12th year, repurposed it to become a digital photo frame.
It's too slow for regular use and alot of apps won't install anymore. But battery and screen are still good and slide show images works perfectly.
