1. I feel your pain.....I'm limping along on a 5 year old iPad.

Each update has taken a toll, but I felt the need to update so that I'd be in sync with my newer iPhone. I know I'll have to replace the iPad, but I'm stretching it as far as I can.

Clearing history does help, but that wipes all of my passwords and I'm loathe to have to reenter them. Before updates, clearing history didn't wipe out the passwords....more secure now? Who knows.

Frustrating as hell when you're reading something and the damn thing fails and has to reload.

I agree that this is planned obsolescence, but I'm not giving in yet.
