fun fact: this ipad is older than u

Original caption

this ipad 2 is older than u and it's still mainable for ios 6 yt in 2025 and the display is surprisingly good (1024x768 tho, they released a 2048x1536 one a year later), if u wanna downgrade ur ipad 2 (ipad2,4 is not supported) to 6.1.3 u need a mac, legacy ios kit and ios 9.3.5/9.3.6 with jb, it'll make it 6 or 7 times smoother compared to ios 9 and it makes it alot more nostalgic btw this ipad was the device i joined roblox and musically (before tiktok) with back in 2016 #TechTok #fyp #xyzbca #cidstech #ipad2
