All iPads Apple should make an iPad SE

This is an interesting point for me, as my iPad 8 is on the OS it shipped with (14) and I will never update it. Not a fan of the way 15 and 16 have gone on my friend's 8. Some of my apps are already out of support (irrelevant for now), but the primary third party app I use is YouTube which is still supported, even once that falls I can use the web version.

I do wonder though when the web browser will become unusable. It's encouraging to hear that 12 is still working for the most part. iOS 14 is already 3 year old software, and that's my observed usable timeframe for desktop web browsers. For example, the newest Reddit website design is completely broken on 2019 Firefox versions, but works on 2020. I've studied this a bit for a few years as a user of old Macs.

Personally the only issues i had with my aging ipad from 2016 is the fact that if i push it too hard it crashes. Otherwise its a perfect device

I just realized you can update. If your device gets slower downgrade it. There is a tool for that

You can’t, I wish we could.

That’s for a few specific models. For instance, if I wanted (which I do) to downgrade my 9.7-inch iPad Pro from iOS 12.4.1 to iOS 10.3.3, I can’t.

My ipad 5 is downgradable and upgradable? There is a complicated tutorial that either gets it back to IOS 10 or gets it to unsupported IpadOS 17 which should be SLOW

Kinda sad to see then get unsupported. I was really looking forward to Ipad os 17. Even if i had to sacrifice performance

You can’t downgrade A9 devices to iOS 10. You can’t update it to iPadOS 17 either.

Yes. You cant. It includes jailbreak
