An older tablet makes a great tableside companion in your living room, an effective e-book reader, or a light-duty device for reading mail or checking your favorite websites. It&#39;s okay to use the device until it dies.

Still, the longer your iPad goes without updates from Apple, the more likely it is that security glitches could affect your tablet. So, don&#39;t use an unpatched iPad for important or sensitive applications.
