Maybe it’s time to ditch the iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 2, as both are officially on the vintage list. Apple considers products vintage five to seven years after they are sold. Service and spare parts sometimes last longer, as the law requires up to seven years of service, depending on the availability of spare parts.
The iPad Air 2 was announced at Apple’s “It’s been too long” presentation in October 2014. At the time, it was the first iPad with Touch ID. It has an A8X chip and a brand new anti-reflective coating. The iPad Air 2 also uses the M8 motion tracking chip that was used in the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.
The iPad mini 2 is a bit older, having been released in 2013 at Apple’s “We still have a lot to do” presentation. It runs on the A7 chip found in the iPhone 5S. It does not support Touch ID like the iPad Air 2.
What do you think about it? Do any of you still own one of those iPads?
