Apple iPad 2 Wi-Fi Specs

Description

The Wi-Fi-only iPad 2 version is the cheapest of them all, and also the lightest at 1.33 pounds (601 grams). It improves on its predecessor in both desing and hardware, since the iconic tablet is now thinner even than the iPhone 4 at 0.34" (8.8mm). It is powered by a 1 GHz dual-core Apple A5 chipset, which provides 2x the CPU and 9x the GPU performance of its predecessor. All that while keeping the same 10 hours of battery life. Dressed entirely in black or white this time, the iPad 2 sports HDMI output via a separate cable, as well as rear and front-facing cameras.

This device is also known as Apple iPad 2,4

iPad 2 in 2020
Phone owned for less than a year

In 2020, the iPad 2 still has a good 9.7 inch screen and not bad-looking. My problems with it were in 2020 iOS 9.3.5 lacks app support, has a bad camera, awful battery life (you can get a new battery for cheap though) and no Siri.

One of the Best Ageing Tablets of All Time
Phone owned for more than a year

I bought this Apple tablet in January 2012, I got the white Wi-Fi version, and I have been very happy with it, yes the screen is old, and I've had to replace the Home Button, I broke the 30 pin connector, but if you take your time with it and have patience it will last.
I still watch Youtube videos on it, play LIGHT games, Clash of Clans etc., and my family uses it for e-mail, Facebook, Videos, Pictures,
Basically, it still does what is was designed to do, back in 2011.

Awesome product, tought, it has had many drops, not a scratch on the screen! I would strongly recomend picking one of these up for
