You say they slowed it down, but I seem to recall you can turn the slow down
off. Itt was made default due to the number of complaints about the device
just stopping when the battery condition was poor, with no warning. The low
pawer mode was always there, of course just not turned on.

I finally retired my old iPad 2 and was wondering if it was any use to
anyone as it is still working and it just grates on me to toss something

some worthy cause to give it to.

With It being a 32 bit device and Apple not accepting apps unless they
are 64 bit is it now completely defunct? Myself I did not bother too much
with apps using it mainly for email and internet stuff which it was still
happily doing until the end albeit somewhat slower following the last OS
upgrade when Apple kindly slowed performance to prolong battery life!

I know we have some Apple haters on this NG but setting prejudices aside
is it of some use to someone or has it just become an expensive door
wedge?

It's still useful in the kitchen.

It will still be of use to someone, from geek to toddler.
