Apple 9.7" iPad 2nd Gen. 16GB WiFi Black

We still own the iPad 2 model being sold here, bought when it was new. It was great when new. Unless you have a special use case, do not waste your money on it at any price. Stretch and get a newer model.

This second gen iPad came from a period of time when Tablets were still improving dramatically with each new generation. That means it became obsolete much faster than today’s tablets. I don’t blame that on Apple - they were the ones driving tablet innovation.

It topped out at iOS 9, only lasting thru 2 operating system upgrades unlike today’s iPads that will likely get at least 4 or more operating system upgrades. The 5th Gen iPad launched on iOS 10 and got the latest iPadOS 14.

We still use our iPad, but not for typical tablet functions - it is too painfully slow and many important apps do not run on it. We use it as a remote control for our home theater receiver (AVR). It works fine for that very limited function. But our AVR is on the old side so newer AVR remote apps might not run on it.

(To those who claim it will work fine for streaming or reading e-books… technically, perhaps, but it is slowww.)

Are you guys out of your damned minds!!! You have GOT to stop trying to sell these ancient relics!!! No one would be able to do anything with them if they bought them!!! They are just TOO OLD!!! Plus, you have some real never trying to charge $90 for something that is as old as this!!! That is just incredibly insulting to anyone!!! OMG! PLEASE STOP!! Have these recycled and be done with them!!!
