Is it me ! Or because there's no stars

I am using Safari on my old iPad,will need to try my previous Firefox on laptop.

DS gave us their old (slightly damaged) iPads to try , thinking if we liked them we should buy our own new ones.  They seem to be working fine, though not as fast as newer ones, so we will keep using them meantime.

Throw-away society in  operation it seems.  Why, if they work, would we need/want to replace these iPads?

The younger generation seem to have money to burn!

These  machines he has given us (for which we are of course grateful) were ones our 6 and 10 year old grandchildren were using!

Has the world gone mad???

Not at all, Kjell. The newer Pads not only perform better but are capable of running off the latest software which brings added enhancements. They have far better cameras, improved processors and, often, bigger memories. I guess it all depends whether you want faster and better or if you're happy with slower and less enhanced equipment.

I was going to add something similar TW. The reason I've just had a new phone is that upgrades will now be ending on older phones and although my old one was usable it would not improve with age.  (My new phone is not from apple and wasn't expensive.)

Yours is a case in point, Brue.

Another important thing is that providers tend to stop issuing security updates on older devices and who knows where that could lead?

I swear I hit the button once😳

Ahhh but with Apple they automatically have massively better security.....

I find this constant pressure too upgrade hardware irritating too. I appreciate that innovation provide new facilities but if existing kit does what you want, why should we have to upgrade to retain an existing level of usability.
