Average lifespan
An iPad usually provides excellent performance for 4 to 6 years. Battery wear is the most common hardware limitation, but software update support typically extends for 5 to 7 years from release.
Error: Stuck on Apple Logo
The device is caught in a boot loop, usually caused by a failed update or software corruption. A hard reset or restoring via a computer is required.
Error: Temperature Warning
The tablet is too hot or too cold to operate safely. The screen will display a warning and disable features until the internal temperature stabilizes.
