Resolved iOS 10 okay on iPad Mini 2?

[ActionableMango]

Over the years iOS updates have been hit or miss for me, performance-wise. I'm concerned about it becoming sluggish, so I'm hoping I can hear from some of you early adopters with the same model.

Working great on mine so far. Orientation animations are a little sluggish but other than that it's just fine

I've held off on upgrading as well on my iPad Mini 2 (or Retina as I know it). But the new OS is so nice I'm sure I will do the upgrade soon enough.

Now is the best while they are still signing 9.3.5. Once they stop signing there's no way to test iOS 10 and go back if you are unhappy.

How do you do this? I didn't know you could ever go back. I don't see the mechanism for doing this in iTunes or iOS settings.

People have been reporting that iOS 10 is performing very well on even the oldest devices that support it.

Thanks for the responses. I'll mark the thread resolved and upgrade this weekend.

Have it on mine and seems no worse than iOS9.

So I upgraded mine just now. Seems about the same as iOS 9. A little sluggish here and there, however it was like that before as well. I wouldn't expect a speed improvement by upgrading.
