My Ipad 2 with iOs9 run smooth but y when every i open app it will just lag or hang it there. especially when i open my Facebook the white screen just hang there for few min.

Izzit normal for all the ipad 2 user.

probably not enuf RAM...

Sure lag la. Not enough RAM. Better dispose it for iPad Air 2 or any iOS devices with 2GB RAM. 1GB RAM or below won't cut it. Slow like snail.

I think it's iOS, I bought a iPad Pro 9.7 and it lags more than I expected as well on menu and browsing stuff I didn't expect it will lag.

Gaming was fine though.

Agreed. My 6+ lags a lot when loading basic apps like FB and google maps.

It's much smoother on the 6S+

If using safari browse facebook does it will lag? If same lag, I think possible the hardware already outdated.

6+ so soon lag? its only 1 generation behind

When loading/starting apps yes. Takes a cool 5-7 secs to start up the FB and Google map apps.

The in-app experience (speed wise) is ok, just have to bear with the loading time

Huh? I thought lag and iOS device should not be in the same verse!

I supposed these days it only apply to the latest gens of idevices.

Apple also said they only expect their device last up to 3 years, ipad2 very long already bro, time to upgrade if you want a smooth experience, else tolerate with it lo. Im having the same prob as well, its like ur running windows 8 apps on win xp..now u have excuse to get new apple product.

1gb of ram cannot coop with the new ios. some more in the future. time to upgrade.

ok totally agree... my ipad i think is around 4-5 years oledi. should b around tat. so just thinking any way to speed up abit hahahaha

upgrade to new ipad loorr ...

i tried to do factory reset but but my ipad stuck at the apple logo.. wat can i do?

Nowadays coding is getting way too inefficient due to cheap & plentiful ram

Same my sister ipad 2 become laggy after update to ios9 they say old devies become faster after update to ios9 but app crash and slow safari slow.

1gb ram not enough already, my ipad mini 2 cannot keep more than 3 tabs in safari in ios9. Everything feels laggy. It'll keep refresh my tabs.

Edit: ipad2 is 512mb ram, i think no hope already

I supposed it's good to have our expectations checked when updating the iOS on these yesteryear Apple devices.
No doubt the iPad 2 has long past its due time but still, having own 1 myself, I gotta say, I'm loving it a lot, more so with iOS 9.3.5, which is the last update available for iPad 2, unfortunately.
It was much laggy, even with simple typing, on the iOS 9.3.3 but now, it is much smoother, considering my use of it is more on the productivity side.

p/s: I, for one, do secretly wish that the iPad 2 will receive the iOS 10 update though, despite the specs of the device.

its easy to make it fast. disable everything. spotlight. notification. everything.
