iPad mini What to do with iPad mini 2?

[iHorseHead]

Hey!
There was a time when I used iPad mini 2 for school to type documents etc, but I haven't had use for it for years.
Any ideas what to do with it or how I could use it?

You could lock it in to single app mode and wall mount it for a security camera feed/baby monitor/doorbell camera

Use it as a media consumption device.

Donate it to a needy charity.

I just did a "set up as new" reset on it to reclaim all the space and I put Netflix, Prime, Disney+ and Apple TV on it, and have downloaded a bunch of stuff to watch in the evening in bed while camping.

I've just sold mine for £95!

Some kid somewhere would love that device. Perhaps pass it on to a younger family member, or donate it to a charity.

We have one each for the kids, running iOS 10.3.3 and old versions of Netflix, YouTube Kids, etc.

If you don't really need it, try to sell it.
Feels good to declutter

Given that this is a post from June, just updated by someone, probably the OP has already found a solution. Personally my mini 2 is on IOS 10 for 32 bit apps that cannot run on more recent OS versions.... Battery life is still strong, much better than my mini 4 and on par with my mini 5.... By the way the mini 2 on IOS 10 is almost the same speed as the mini 4 on iPadOS 14, while the 4 used to be much faster....

I’d probably jailbreak it to install apps that no longer support older iOS. Not all will work but it’s worth trying. O just use it as ebook reader.

E reader.

When I got the "2", I sold the "1" it replaced.

When I got the "6", I thought I would sell the "2". However, it still runs every app I like (and that's LOTS of them). So I think I'll just keep using it too. "6" has become the main use Mini. But "2" mostly sits in the bedroom for reading, music, etc, while "6" slow charges overnight.

"2" is still pretty functional. You might find that it is useful enough for some purposes.
