iPad 3 in 2021: The Worst iPad Ever? 

1st one to like

5th to like

My best friend still uses a iPad 3 in 2020

I had an iPad 3, it was my first personal device which I got when I was 8. I used it until a few months ago, when I upgraded to the 3rd gen Pro. It still works quite well for things that don’t need much interaction, like watching videos, but is awful for most other things as it’s very slow.

I still have it & I am upgrading to ipad 8

Man that must suck like my ipad 2 on youtube too.

Roman Gardner me too it lags so bad and when i try to install a app it restarts

Lol mine still works but obviously stopped updating... I still watch RU-vid on it until it’s end of life soon ...😐

I watching this video on ipad air 4

same my ipad battery is so bad but i’m on an ipad 5th gen

Well said

'It was the best of iPads, it was the worst of iPads ...' ;) "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only." A Tale of Two Cities (1859), Charles Dickens.

its pretty much an iphone 4s with a bigger screen

Same can be said for the iPod touch 5th gen. Was the best for its time. First to step away from metal, bigger screen, a design so iconic that its still being used on the iPod touch 7th gen, and faster than its predecessor. Than it became the worst iPod.

The same goes with the 4s 😔 It had most, if not all the features of iOS 6 and it ran even better than iOS 5, and it was really snappy, then iOS 8/9 came...

Same thing, but with my phone 😐

Yeah lol. Those were the days.

@Scott M Not much difference between M1 and 2018

@@AR-rg2en The difference in power, ram and cameras is massive.

@Scott M The Ipad 2020 was already available as well.

Which iOS version was installed on your dad’s iPad 3?

Yeah and better never update it and also save the shsh blobs so if someone updated it someday u can still downgrade to the same version.

bruh you're so lucky!

I remember my school’s iPad minis running on iOS 6, they run on iOS 9 now.

Please never update that thing, iOS 5 can be rare on iPad 3’s

You can update that to at least iOS 9

Lol

So is an iPhone 4S on 9.3.6

r/woooosh

Ironic

true

i have the ipad 3 too but its really broken, there are dead pixels and its glass is really cracked

@@osku6896 mine is in nearly perfect shape, yeah the screen is scratched and the corners are kinda beaten up but the rest is ok

Even the box is in nearly perfect contition, there is a little dent in a corner

@Honestly Amethyst i'm always scared i will accidentaly bend my 12'' boy

I'm 24... the original iPad dropped when I was a teenager; looking back at it now, it seems absolutely _archaic._ I've still got an iPod touch 4 gifted to me for Christmas 10 years ago and it's almost unfathomable to me that I've had, and used, that device for so long. (it still plays music in my car attached to an FM adapter!)

I just turned 25 on the 11th of November and I legit remember when they announced the first iPad. I was obsessed with the iPods at the time especially the nano. I always looked forward to their September music events. It was such a different Apple back then. Remember when they discontinued the iPad 4, then sold the iPad 2, but then turned around and brought back the 4th gen before introducing the Air 2? Such a weird time that was.

@@AliceC993 know to get an charger

@@barbarawilson6009 what?

I remember predicting that tablets would blow up the Christmas 2010 season. They didn't blow up quite that fast, but they did blow up. I LOVED my iPad 3, and was so ecstatic that I finally had the PADD I had dreamed of for twenty years. Now..... I can't freaking stand tablets. The novelty is gone, and they're just annoying.

My first one was the iPad 3 actully then then mini 2 (it’s not mine my cousin gave me it) then 6 then air 4 which I’m using now

Same here Andre

My first iPad was the iPad 2 it’s destroyed and iCloud locked well not completely destroyed

It was a little better. Not that much better.

Still handles iOS 9 better than iPad 2 and at least had a stronger GPU. The iPad 1 and iPhone 4 used the same GPU as the 3GS but had much higher quality screens and they’re much slower than the iPad 3 no matter what firmware they’re on.

All of mine are in need of new displays 🥲

Same lol

@@sylvanaragui2745 is it good to use now? i want to buy it so much 🥺

I have a 3 year old tablet, that isnt really that old-

My tablet: iPad 6 - 2 years old My phone: iPhone 4s - 8 years old

Саша Лобанов i use to use an iphone 4s too!

So true. My phone - iPhone 12 Pro. My tablet - iPad Air 2.

My tablet and phone both came out in 2016.

@@TrashWoodBand I know lol I’m just staying that it still works it’s been unsupported for year

@@brobroant6205 sink in my ass bruh, anyone who’s older than it survived too, what’s so special

Yup. I went straight from the 3 to the Air 2 as well. And I’m still using that one.

You can downgrade back to iOS 8.4.1 with a program on mac and linux called iOS OTA Downgrader.

Feel bad bro

Blame it on the dogs

@@jcdenton4902 Don't have any

F

@@Poppyblender what about a cat

I use iPhone 4s (it’s even older than iPad 3) and it’s usable lol. First iPad Air isn’t outdated, it’s still supported by Apple (they release security updates for it)

@@user-xp9sf2dx6t we clearly have different definitions of usable, the fact that it turns on and you can sort of browse the web with it doesn't turn the iphone 4s into an usable device, I'd say the lowest end in usable iphones right now is the first iphone SE, I just had to change my iphone 5s because of the same thing, they just don't feel like they can with all the apps I use, if not even facebook is fluid then to the recycling bin it goes

I agree about the 1st iPad Air, I upgraded to the iPad Pro back in august. It was 6 years old, very slow and the battery couldn’t last more than 30 mins.

Lmao yeh I’m watching on an iPad Air 3 cuz I read the title wrong ✋😭 then I clicked on the video and saw but like yeh...

@@reinhardtcom8990 My iPad is air 1, and I don’t really need a new one. I guess you care more about security than I ever would.

my ipad is alright its a 10.5 inch pro

I m watching this on a Samsung......tablet..

Well in IOS 7, iPad 2, 3, mini and iPhone 4s still run well but then IOS 8 came and they became slow, and way slower with IOS 9

Was at one point. Is now little more than a paperweight because of Apple's forced obsolescence. Terrible performance on the few apps that still work. RU-vid hasn't worked in a long time, for instance.

@@Tonycaveman i made a safari bookmark, that works fine

​@@epoggg3672 Yeah you can still use RU-vid through the Safari Browser but it pales in comparison. Not to mention the Safari web browser itself is probably a huge risk to use as it hasn't received any updates in forever. Many websites simply will not allow access through the Safari Browser on these older ipad models, either.

Me with an iPad mini 2

@@stinkery I have both of those lmao, iPad mini 2 and iPad 2, but, the iPad Mini 2 has a shattered screen, it still works but i can't use it without cutting my finger

same👁👁

You’re in luck. You can downgrade to iOS 6 on certain iPads if you’d like.

@@AMacProOwner how do you do that? I have iOS 9 on my old iPad and it is so SLOW. It wasn’t running like this before I updated it recently.

@@Lionheart463 It was back in 2017 when I did it. I needed to first jailbreak the iPad, install SSH, then used odysseusOTA2.4 to then drop the kloader into the iPad. It was a whole bunch of steps, but works!

AMacProOwner thank you so much, definitely will look into doing that to my ipad

The iPad mini 2 sucks. Trust me I know. I’ve used this thing for 7 years-

@@stinkery Only for a few reasons. 1. It’s 7 years old. 2. SSD failures and slowdowns 3. Apple A7 chip 4. iOS 12.4.9 (I use 12.4.8) 5. APP COMPATIBILITY although it is alright it doesn’t run latest version of most

What iOS are you running?.

What was the title?

@@sam_64 it was actually iPad 3 in 2020: The Worst iPad Ever? but he changed the date.

Honestly I find my iPad mini pretty useless since I got my iPhone

then get one lol

@@keithmorrison6176 I have a phone and a laptop so a tablet would be useless to me

Actually soon-ish, hopefully! I ordered one yesterday straight from Apple, refurbished.

ed150n_ k0ng yo I'm actually using the iPad 5 right now and it's great

I use one for school

lmao same... i feel like cheating bc we had such good times with it back in the days...

How tho?

@@KoopaKid660 jailbreak and change version plist to iOS 6.0 and you can OTA downgrade through settings
