All iPads Are Apple products subject to planned obsolescence?

Actually they're only dead because they've not been charged in years. I could probably plug them in and get some use out of them.

But I may look into that if necessary, can I still take them to apple to be replaced or do they not support those anymore?

I don't know if Apple will still replace them, but you can find lots of video's to DIY. Back when I did my first one, Apple wanted close to $100 to do the battery swap. I picked up the battery for $15, followed the steps and saved $85. Find a geek kid in the neighborhood who wants to make a few bucks and you don't need to mess with it.

Apple ipads are held together by glue, I doubt they are made to last a long time.

Commercial airplanes use glue as well.

Honestly, every electronic device will be obsolete at some point.
