Foreword
Today, 2023, turned out the ipad mine2. The ipad mini2 was purchased in january 2014. So far, the appearance has been perfect and the screen and backcap have hardly been worn. This mini2 has 64g storage and is now relatively adequate (for apple equipment). I was attracted to his 2k-resolution retinal screen and then the strongest a7 chip, so is this ipad still working

Start the system experience
One observation is that only apples can do this if a system that was over-imaged by hardware equipment nearly 10 years ago is so fluid and so far securely updated. Although it has stopped at ios12, its operating logic and the current latest ipad os16 are very different, and some are similar. Only because of system constraints, some software requiring ios (or ipados) to be 13 or more can be downloaded directly from the “purchased projects” if it is available at appstore, and if it is not available, it can only be downloaded from the ios13 or higher version of apple equipment. But it doesn't hurt to be honest, after all, ios can be used side by side, as long as you can find the corresponding ipa files or install them through software like aeth's assistant。

Software
To be honest, the ios12 can still be used for many years in the current situation, and the minimum system requirements for most software are now between ios10 and 11. As for software such as micro-trust that requires ios13 (or ipados13) for the minimum system, there is little problem with the current use of older versions. The software currently available will then be listed by software type。

Social software
So far, the more common chat software, such as qq, wiregram, telegram, etc., can be used normally, except for a little bit slower to open and a little bit more karton to operate. Like other social-oriented software such as twitter, discord, and others, with the exception of the minimum requirement for ios15 (or ipados15) to download the latest editions, discord is perfectly normal, some of which are normal, except for a little bit of cardon. So today in 2023, social software is basically fine, except for the possibility that some of the minimum software requirements of 13 systems, such as micro-credit, would have to be acquired in advance。
Music software
Up to now, spotify and internet-enabled music have been available. The best use is web-enabled music, the minimum system requirement for which is currently ios11 for the hd version of web-enabled music, so internet-enabled music can also experience newer features while installing the latest editions. Spotify's minimum system requires ios14 (or ipados14) and sometimes operates on this mini2 with a clear sense of cardon, which is not very good to use. But one thing that i can't compare is that i can listen to all the songs free of charge, even if you don't order members. So you can still listen to it today in 2023, depending on your choice. If it's a priority to experience, then i personally recommend internet-like music, and if it's “musical quality”, you can consider using spotify。

Productivity
With regard to productivity, first of all, the “wps” type of software most people would use, which is currently best experienced by apple's own keynote, pages and numbers, and wps office. You'll probably ask when you get here. The reason for this is that microsoft software only supports ios15 and above, and the old version supports poor features and experiences, so microsoft office software is not listed here. Similarly, the best combination is currently the apple home office three sets, after all, the apple home software is well integrated and used. Turning to teleconferences, so far, the teleconferences have been supportive of ios12 and the meetings have been well watched and able to meet basic meeting requirements. Note-based software includes notability, apple's own memo, goodnotes 5 and microsoft onenote. Similarly, the best experience is with apple's own memos, but other laptops are good, even if some of them do not continue to support ios12 in its old version, and they are good enough in themselves. Finally, the creative productivity software, with the apple-owned imovie and the lumafusion, and the music-generated library band, which, to be honest, is good enough in its own right to remain functional. Note that these software can only be used in old versions and that some of the new features may not be supported, and here is the personal trade-off. If you prefer “new”, you can do this directly with other devices. If you don't care about the new features, then the software can still be used properly, and the experience is rather good。

Community-type software
So far, community-based software, such as coolan, it house and csdn, has been available and unexpectedly fluid and experienced relatively well. And so far, they have been able to support ios10 to 11 as a minimum, which can be said to be quite friendly to old equipment. The new version meant that he continued to support some of the new features, which meant that it had not been abandoned by the developers。
Weather software
The ipad had no weather app until the 16 system came out, and even if you were ipados15, you wouldn't be able to use apple weather apps until you were upgraded. So here is the proposal for a minimum system called ios11 weather app, called "my weather," which i'm looking at personally, and which is still being updated, so there's no need to worry about problems that will not be solved。

Remote stream
You can also use steaml for remote streamsInk remotely links your pc or mac to play the game remotely. It is worth noting, however, that the ipad screen ratio is 4:3 and now mostly human screens are 16:9 or 21:9, so unless you use a type 4:3 screen scale, your ipad miini2 will have a black side above and below, depending on whether or not it affects the individual's acceptance. Except for steamlInk, like todesk, but todesk wants you to be ready for the touch screen virtual buttons, and it's not too bad if you can keep your heart quiet. In short, there is still competence in the area of long-range streams。

Video software
The minimum system requirement for the hd version of station b to date is ios11, so there is no need to worry about the software features, and there will be a bit of a hq carton in terms of experience, but these are still acceptable, most notably video-playing, and opening the bomb screen while watching the video is largely inadequate. Turning to the pipeline, which is now available only in the old version, it is harmless, and the old version is still well used, with little access to the home page and video. So so far the video software has been almost completely adequate。

Game
To be honest, ios12 can play more games than any other old apple device. Here's a more representative list of these games. The list is only partial, and more can be found on appstore or at other offlineipa download stations to find side resources。

File management and transmission
The file management and transmission is performed by the landrop and es file browsers. The es file browser is very useful on ios, which supports a lot of services and transmission protocols. That is why the area of document management is essentially entirely competent。
