iPad 2 Now Considered Obsolete Worldwide

I miss the old girl, my iPad 2 was the last thing I physically stood online for, I think I got to the Apple store around 6am and got the third to last 16gb, wifi only.
I sold my iPad 1 a year or so ago. Not worth much despite still working - as far as it went.
Was disappointing that support of the 1 didn't actually last very long.
My iPad Air cellular 1 gen is borderline but still receiving iOS 12 updates. 
Never realized it. Thanks for the info. The poster I asked this too is more interested in throwing insults at dell and other companies. Kinda insecure
I still have mine. It is slow, but fine for occasional usage. It was still in regular use by my 4-year-old until a few months ago, when some of the apps needed for his homeschooling were not compatible.
I still have my original iPad (2010) -- in fact, it's my only iPad still
I kind of wish I held off 3 more months for the iPad 2 considering the spec bump from the massively underpowered original, but alas. It's a shame it can't really be used for much of anything.I do remember nobody really knew what to do with them back then. I still haven't gotten another one as I still don't really have a place for that form factor.
Mine is full of 32-bit games that the world lost forever including Android.
This is clear evidence that Apple doesn’t care about its customers.
first they screw over all the people who bought a $1000+ iPad Pro last year and found it to be so absurdly slow that they spent $1000+ again this year for the M1. Only to find out that they have to buy another optional $300 keyboard case because the one they have now fits and works fine “a little too tight”.
Now their ageism is in full display when they retire a device simply because it’s 10 years old.
APPLE IS EVIL AND THEY HATE AMERICA.

I still use mine for old 32-bit games. iOS is super slow, but the games run perfectly fine. Great device.
My first ever iPad, I loved it so much, great memories with this device in the 4 years I had it.
My wife's HP laptops battery could hold about two full minutes of charge after three years. LOL!
The battery in my iPad 1 seemed hardly diminished. I couldn't actually find much to do with it, but I could have it switched on, playing about with it, connected by wifi, and the battery resolutely stayed charged - for days and days. Even getting as low as 70% was tedious.
Still use mine when I go away for work.
My wife and toddler get the new iPad.
Still works fine, just sluggish.
