5:22 got me there.. "it's got a bezel" x3, "but apart from that, it's full screen." 🤣

[@matthewgumabon7498]

I was lucky enough to have one of these gifted to me in 2010. I was elated. I ended up using that thing for years, and passed it down as a loaner for my younger cousins who gamed on it pretty hard. That iPad was a beast. With everyday use, the full aluminum design got pretty dinged up, but all the damage was just cosmetic. The OG iPad was actually really solid and durable back then. The biggest mind blow feature at the time was definitely the web browsing. A multi touch mobile web browsing experience at that screen size was pretty unheard of in 2010. The original iPad OS was admittedly really feature lacking, but because of the lack of bloat and fancy features, it was really responsive and snappy. Then all the later updates added a bunch of features and apps become more power hungry, so it slowed down to a point being pretty much unusable. Years later, after leaving the iPad in a drawer, I was disheartened to discover that it didn’t boot anymore. Plugging in to a various chargers did nothing, so I suspect the battery or its power circuits had finally failed. What a legend that thing was… Good times.

[@toontownlegomaster]

Maybe have the charging port, battery replaced. Relatively cheap

[@WaltuhD]

Keep it on a charger for a day the battery might be very very low to a point that it requires time

[@hikarichip8903]

I am having the same problem with my ipad mini 1 In my drawer for years and suddenly it can't even charge. I was almost given up until I try to clean the charging port and it does work!! I hope it will work for you too 😊

[@gldoorii]

I miss how each app felt individual and how they had their own personality and character instead of there being a "system theme" style design. I miss Cover Flow!

[@matthewgumabon7498]

Right! I feel like the collective taste in UI aesthetics is maturing backwards from what you would expect. Modern UI is really focused on shapes and colors. It’s elegant… but almost “childish” in a way because of its minimalism and colorful appeal. But UI during the times of iOS 4-7 was more focused on the UI elements having textures and a sense of depth (via light reflection and shadow). In my opinion, that early skeuomorphism has a more mature, adult appeal to it, because it’s that kind of attention to detail and fine design that adults usually appreciate more. But I guess now that skeuomorphism is associated with old iOS, and very old and now slow iPhone and iPad models, people now see the style as being outdated. As a side note, I remember somewhere in iOS 4 through 7, they gave the Music (iPod?) app a round, brushed aluminum textured volume slider that changed its reflection based on how you held the phone. This was before they introduced the parallax wallpapers that was also based on the accelerometer. I remember my mind was blown.

[@blankearth5840]

Yup. Now everything is just flat, basic, and bland. But hey it’s modern!😁Lol

[@skycloud4802]

The current UI look is akin to something I'd expect from a kids toy.

I have a Gen 2 iPad. Turned it on last year for shits and giggles. Worked well for casual browsing and YouTubing. 7.5/10.

[@almuel]

Have one too, It was incredibly sturdy and survived many drops for about 8 years. I turned it on last year and was pleasantly surprised with how well it worked, since it had iOS 9 running it managed to download some of the apps but there were still some other apps that became incompatible. This was my first apple device and I was very impressed since all the android smartphones that I had owned weren't a lot more faster and smoother than this iPad even though this iPad was 8 years older to them.

I remember playing Tap Tap Revenge 4 on the old iPad. I used to play it a bunch with my uncle because it had split screen, that game was great. I feel like mobile games wayyy back then were much better than the mobile games that we have today. They were much more like actual gaming experiences rather than clones of other games. 2011-2014 was a golden age for tech and all different forms of media, I swear.

[@matthewgumabon7498]

Right! The smartphone wars were really raging. The iPad was born and Android tablets were popping up everywhere. Social media like Twitter and Instagram were really taking off. KZbin was getting a major boom of channels with 1 million+ subs. The indie game scene was taking off and suddenly a whole generation of kids wanted to be programmers and game developers. Man, the 2010s started pretty awesome. Too bad it ended with the world burning with pandemic, natural disaster, war, and inept and crazy world leaders.

[@tomymas38]

Omg I used to play that game with my sister! I had forgotten the name. Thank you!

[@FroztYcle4737]

She should get Jailbreak then get an App Store tweak to get Older Versions of Purchased Apps/Games it would help with older versions because it can actually work (don’t expect EVERYTHING to work (that has older versions available for you to get) iPad 2 is still a bit limited) I had one and then last Christmas (2021) I got my iPad 8 it’s my main device I’m using it right now but iPad 2 is still great (keep it at latest iPad 2 version 9.3.5 or 9.3.6)

[@chrisjfox8715]

In an increasingly digital world, the need to make the UI we interact with feel real becomes less. The idea is that now that people have familiarized themselves with interacting with tech, the future is about making that tech disappear into the fabric of people's lives. No need making a button look like an actual button if its placement and usefulness is so obvious that people intuitively know to press it when they need to - before now, people essentially needed to be instructed on what to press and swipe at etcetera and skewomorphism was a rather explicitly implicit means of telling a user what something was for. Clean UI isn't just an Apple thing these days
