I use an iPad Pro that I bought about 7 years ago. It's maxed on OS17. I
have no plan to replace it.

Very old is a bit subjective.. I got an ipad mini 2 back in 2012 or so..
but after about 8 years the battery stopped working and instead of
replacing the battery they replaced the entire device, so I have a
replacement ipad mini 2. It's an old model, but it's not physically old
because it got replaced with a new one about 4 years ago.

Yep, our iPad Pro is around that age too. Still works perfectly well
for what it is needed to do (email, basic websites, a couple of simple
games).

Our original iPad still works, although it isn't very functional. I charge
it and turn it on every now and again.

We still have the original 1st generation iPad (not the Air) as well as
a 2nd generation iPad in this household, both in great condition.

I wrongly wrote OS17, when that should have been OS16.
It's currently updating to 16.7.9.

Like yourself, I use it for very ordinary things; lots of ebooks, email,
games. The 128GB memory gives it staying power.

That's newer than iPad Air 1 gen. It can only go up to iOS v12.5.7. ;)

I have a couple of Air 2s that still work fine. A bit slow, but fine. One is
16GB and the other is 128GB. Both are on 15.8.2 and are only 1 year newer than
the Air 1.

10 years old and still working fine. And both on original batteries.

We used to use one o the other to play games when out of the house. But
now that we have a 9th generation iPad, they don't get as much use.

Nothing really. The browser is hopelessly slow with modern sites and most
apps have stopped working. I think there's a handful of games.

I mostly turn it on to check it works and reminisce on how simple it used
to be. Settings app, for example, nowadays is horrendous.
