I still have some perfectly good iPad-2's. Anyone else still have and use one?
It's connected to my iCloud, so my Notes and iMessages appear there as well as my other devices. Sometimes, I'll find it laying-around closer than other devices and I use it. Sure is nicer typing on an iPad over a phone.
But the one thing I miss is dictation. I don't need Siri, just voice recognition. I tried GBoard, but there is no Microphone icon (even with it set to "full control"). I re-discovered Dragon Dictation, but I don't see a way to use it from iOS Notes or iMessage. Only work-around I saw was this cumbersome copy-paste from the Dragon Dictation app itself.
Remember that iPhone-4 and iPad-2 has never had Siri (I think the excuse was it was too slow) and its iOS stopped updating at 9.3.5. Anyway, I'm open to ideas.
