I have an old iPad air that I used to browse which works great for most text-based sites (HN, old.reddit), but fails to render newer sites. I thought of setting up a browser in a cloud instance and VNCing to that via noVNC, but does anyone have any other suggestions?
In general, a" vintage" iPad 7+ years old won't be able to get OS updates or install apps unless the IAS apps haven't been updated in many years. (Un)planned obsolescence by virtue of not supporting every OS and app version forever, which is a shame. Apple can also deny OS upgrades if they refuse to sign a certain OS version on certain hardware.
