My wife's Air 2 is still going strong. It replaced a Galaxy Tab 10.1. She doesn't understand why I "need" the 2021 12.9 but she's fine with it.

This is great, and Apple's decision to keep iOS14 supported when iOS15 is out seems like a new trend. This will lengthen the shelf life of iDevices, especially if Apple put iOS14 the same as iOS12 (eg. iOS14 would still be receiving security patches even when we have iOS17 out).
 
I would have hoped Apple killed support for older devices with 2GB RAM in order to give more features to newer ones (and I say it as a owner of a mini 4 and 9.7 pro, among others).
But that's not what Apple chose to do, so at least let's look at the half (more like a quarter) full glass, rather than at the empty part of it....
 
I have and iPad Air 2 and it is slow on 14.6 and does tend to eat battery, but for what I use it for its a hard sell to upgrade to the current standard iPad at the moment.

Yeah I used one recently it refused to even open some apps altogether.
