I bought my iPad fifth GEN two weeks ago at a garage sale. It was labeled $50 and I paid $20. I’m not using this for anything high-end. I doubt I’ll ever take a picture with it. I use it as a media consumption device reading books, eNewspapers, RUclips, cable TV app, Netflix, music and radio. And for that it seems to be perfectly fine. I believe the current iOS version for this is now 16.7.8 so it is still getting updates. I think people get way too hung up on having the latest and greatest tech and don’t realize that technology from several years ago still performs very nicely unless you’re doing very high-end activities like editing video and the like.
Ye this iPad is still great even in 2024 as I’m using this rn it has a 1080p and 60hz display and plays most small games well with the only thing is that the very little ram and storage for gaming I play high demanding roblox games and it works but it takes some time to load and crashes dies to the small ram of 2gb
I just bought this for $70. I don’t need the iPad to mine bitcoin. I just want something I can practice Japanese kanji on, watch RUclips and Netflix and get the news. It ain’t that deep.
@@Oreosana idk where they got it but i got it for 120-130 on amazon. i havent seen anywhere with it lower then that so it might have been from a person that isnt an online store.
@@Oreosanajust last night I purchased a Wi-Fi iPad 5 in mint condition from swappa. The cost.... $80! I actually have my whole collection over the years of my iPads and the older ones are in use if just as ebooks and my gen 1 is even a flip clock! I see no reason to discard an iPad after a few years as they are always going to have some type of value. My other iPad 5's are 128GB cellular and still in use, but this latest Wi-Fi 32GB I am gifting to a senior who is becoming more and more interested in tech. Especially these low prices I think the Gen 5 is a great ipad. In all honesty, my only real pet peeve is the screen is not laminated. But by the time the five was produced I no longer wanted to pay the higher prices for iPad Airs just for laminated screens.
Same here, got it off of eBay from a school tech reseller. I needed something to manage a lot of PDFs. All the Android tablets I looked at in this price point had terrible screens.
My iPad gen 5 is still here, currently sitting at iPadOS 15.7.x. Not sure how many of folks here stay in 15, but I've never experienced any major issues.
I have an ipad 2 and it runs IOS 9.3.5 and when it tries to run RUclips it struggles on safari cause when i try to install youtube it says this ipad doesnt doesnt support RUclips so yes 😂 im looking to sell the ipad 2 and upgrade to ipad air 2 or an ipad 5 or 6

Hi bro..does the ipad can do multitask well?..like browsing while taking note on goodnotes/notability..if there is a delay or lag, does it still acceptable delay or not
@@walterwen4287 Hi bro, there's no delay/lag so far while taking notes, I just tried it. For doing assignment and writing notes, I suggest you to get the iPad 7th Generation or the 6th at least bc it supports Apple Pencil or any stylus pen. The 5th gen don't but support several stylus with no palm rejection. But if you are on a tight budget, I can suggest you the 5th gen but not for a long run since it's old.

@@yootae13late response but personally, if those are the only things you want to do on your iPad, then it’s worth it! Please do keep in mind that since the iPad is pretty old, there may be annoying problems such as crashing if you try to run it with games like Genshin.
Im watching this on my ipad 5th gen....this is worth it if the user is a kid..this is the most common ipad that kids use in my country, the Philippines
works fine with me and even though its almost 8 years old its like brand new. except for FB and FB messenger which took awhile to setup and obviously low volume speakers, I dont have much to complain for this unit.
I’ve had it since 2018 and it still works as good as it did back then minus the lack of software support from Apple but the apps are still all up to date.
Mine is 2nd hand, given to me 2 years ago, my aunt bought a new one for herself for work purposes, in my country apple products are very expensive, I mostly use it for Facebook, Netflix, RUclips, read e-books and read emails, also been looking for side hustle where I can use this
does buying this for $120 in 32gb worth it? Just gonna use it for watching videos, pdf reading, note taking, and online classes. I don't much play games. With free original charger too.
I live in Korea and found this device for sale for $94. This will be my first iPad. I currently have a Galaxy Tab but it broke down so I am thinking about buying this device. Is this device worth it as a first iPad for a Samsung user?
I just ordered an iPad 9th generation . Reason being …. My iPad has a really big problem and I’m not sure if it’s hacked or if it’s the screens fault (btw I changed it) . But I have this since 2019 and I think it’s still worth it 👍
I was enjoying this and then at the end was disappointed at the conclusion 😂. Well, I found one of these in a box today, so going to use it and see how far I can go with it to see movies and play some games
I have newer but I actually still use to iPad 5 128 GB cellular as daily drivers. Bang for the buck the five really is a great version! I don't game but short of video editing the Gen 5 at iOS 15.5 is still more than capable
I already own it and mine was just broken just the screen. I got it fixed instead of upgrading I only needed it to get on RUclips and surf the web. That’s why I didn’t upgrade hopefully it last a few more years
I have an original one which is just about struggling along but can't download anything new and can't update most of what it has. I tried to open NotePad and it just can't cope anymore. I'd like to replace it with a newer model, and want to know which is the cheapest model I can buy pre-owned which is still supported. I don't wan to go buy a 5th gen and find that in 2 years I'm back to square one with £100 down the drain.
I actually have both and it depends on your need. Even the Gen 5 iPad is the better tablet but if you are an Amazon Prime member and listen to Prime music, audiobooks, even as an Alexa vase.. and definitely watching movies on the aspect ratio of the Fire 10 would be my choice.
In terms of hardware specs, the Fire HD 10's better, but in terms of operating system efficiency and available apps, I'd give that to the iPad 5th Gen. Even as someone who likes Amazon, I still prefer the functionality of the iPad. Despite being a newer tablet, the Fire tablet browses and views videos at about the same speed as the iPad. In terms of gaming, the difference isn't very significant. The iPad 5th Gen can't handle more demanding games like Genshin Impact, but the Fire HD 10 does it a little better (unplayable on iPad, low frame rate on Fire). In that regard, both of these devices will work great with emulators straight from their respective app store, most notably RetroArch. Basically, if you're just looking for something for basic web browsing and videos, iPad 5th Gen does that really well for an older tablet. For that matter, the 5th gen still performs better than most newer budget tablets. However, if you want an upgrade for gaming, I'd probably recommend a 10th gen iPad or even the Fire Max 11. Fire Max 11 can at least run Genshin at a playable frame rate, but without a doubt, the 10th gen iPad is the better tablet for literally everything.
My partner has this model still and it's starting to have real iusses! there is no way I would ever recommend buying one as not only is it Glitchy af it's also gonna lose app compatibility soon. This video was just made for the sake of it
Iam using the 5th gen 2017 and i want to say that its the perfect ipad you were looking for, its display and speakers are awesome. Iam using it since 2017
