    Hi everyone, I have an old (read: ancient) iPad 2 that I use for school, mostly just for word processing, internet browsing, and reading textbooks. It still runs iOS 8.4.1. If I were to keep it on 8.4.1, can I still update it to 9.3.5 later on if I needed to? As a sidenote, how does 9.3.5...

    iPad 2 and iOS 9.3.3, what to expect?

    Hello there, I have an iPad 2 I never upgraded past iOS 6.1.3, and while it's running beautifully and I jailbroke it (for f-lux), most new apps are now incompatible. I mostly still use Snow Leopard as an OS, and I already know using iTunes to upgrade iOS to the 9.x branch will prevent any...

    iPad Apple pulls iOS 9.3 update for iPad 2

    I updated my iPad 2 to iOS 9.3 over the air tonight and got stuck at the activation screen like a lot of others. I was forced to do an iTunes recovery restore. When I did, iTunes downloaded iOS 9.2.1 and installed that rather than 9.3. After everything was up and running again, I had iTunes...

    iPad 2 finally gets replaced "9.7 iPad Pro"

    After 5 years, planned obsolescence has finally run its course on my iPad 2. For the last couple of years the iPad 2 has been so sluggish. But all the updates didn't warrant a ($1300+(mine+wife's) investment, so I impatiently waited. When the BIG iPad Pro came out in late 2015, I took a peek...

    iPad 2 on iOS 6 -- stay or upgrade to iOS 9?

    I've recently inherited an iPad 2 that is running iOS 6 and doing so smoothly. It's a little strange seeing all the old iOS designs and Safari still has the search bar separated from the address bar. And I'm sure there are other things that make being on 6 kind of strange compared to what we're...
