I have an iPad 1. I barely used it when it was given to me and then it more or less sat unused apart from the occasional booting to see if it still works every few years.
Iβm fairly sure it would still work today though I havenβt tried for about 3 years. Trouble is, it never got much use because when I got it from my Mum in 2012 it was already becoming obsolete and after about a year I couldnβt do basic web browsing because almost every site just crashed whatever browser I ran, none of the apps in the app store would work anymore and the bookshelf app (think thatβs what it was called. Came with the tablet) I tried to use to make it basically an e-reader device stopped working. There were many similar issue I forget the specifics about but basically amounted to the hardware working fine but being mostly unusable even for old software.
I wondered if there were any good ways to make use of or generally rehabilitate this device. I had hoped thereβd be a lot Linux options for something like this but it looks like the earliest model anyone made.any progress with was iPad 2.
Any suggestions besides picture frame?
