I first had a 3rd generation cellular with 64 GB of memory.
Jojo, we had the first generation with us until 2015. Btw. it was the first Apple the product I held in my hand :)
I had one of the first gray Alzas, a sci-fi device at the time. I remember playing Plants vs Zombies on the subway and half the train was wondering what it was :D There was no support back then Appstore, so I downloaded everything nicely in IPA installations and Jailbreak was a must, those were the old days. Today I'm using a Samsung Tab 5e and it's a solid machine for the money.
But, App Store It's been operating here since 2008 and the iPad came out in 2010.
Bullshit like thunder. I only bought a 32Gb iPad in August - everything worked as it should and they didn't even stare at me on the tram in Pilsen.
I still have a working 2nd gen… I bought a 6th last year and I still can't get on my iPad…!!
also ... today 10,5 pro
I still use the 64 GB one, as an mp3 player before the amplifier, the battery lasts a month in this mode even after all these years...
If the new iPad OS supports ipad air 2, will run me for the seventh year.
