Does ios 7 make the ipad 2 slower?

Does ios 7 make the ipad 2 slower?

Bought my wife a used,  but practically like new 64 GB iPad 2 and iOS 7 seems to run fine with no issues other than the wallpaper resizing issues mentioned in other iOS 7 posts.
I think iOS 7 runs even better on an iPad 2 because no extra processing power is being used for a retina display because iPad 2 doesn't have a retina display.
I noticed this as my iPad 3 on iOS 7 runs well, but seems a little laggy compared to my wife's iPad 2.

  • Does iOS 5 Give The iPad Siri?

    Can I get Siri on my iPad with iOS 5?

    No. Only on the iPhone and it is still in Beta now anyway.

  • Does IOS 5 make IPAD 1 slower? Thx..

    I have IPAD 1 and i want to upgrade it into IOS 5..does IOS 5 make ipad 1 slower in performance?

    Many apps requiring iOS 5? Well, perhaps, but none that I've decided I absolutely must have, yet.
    Or, few. As the ratios change and as it starts to make more and more sense to upgrade the OS, then my approach will be to upgrade the hardware at the same time by going to a new iPad, whatever the model at that point turns out to be.
    Until then, my 2-year old iPad running 4.2 is still working well and will do.

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

    If no joy...
    Reset all settings
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
    This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.

  • Does the iPad get slower with time?

    i have an iPad 4 for over a year. Does the iPad get slower with the passage of time or because of small amount of available?

    As with any piece of electronics, the more stuff you get on there, the more clutter and the more 'junk' (not meaning offensively, just junk as extra files, fragmented files, etc) that it has to run through.
    If you think it's getting too slow, you can fully back it up, then reset your iPad back to factory settings (erase all content and settings) and then restore from that backup.
    It's not impossible, just something to do carefully because if you haven't backed everything up correctly, you will lose it. (content and apps from iTunes can always be redownloaded but content made on your iPad can be deleted if not backed up)
    I've had my iPad 2 for almost three years now and really haven't noticed a major decline in function. So unless you see something drastic, I really wouldn't worry about it.

    Okay, your point?
    What does that have to do with the initial issue?
    Do you actually know what the issue is, or are you simply rambling?

    Ever since I upgraded to the new software, nothing works like it used to. The iPad is slow, the calendars appear and disappear andi have to re- sync. Does any one knows if a patch is on the works to resolve the problems? I know other users are having the same problem.

    Back up your iPad. Then restore the iPad to the original factory settings. Then restore from your backup. Things should improve for you.

  • Why apple remove personal hotspot in ios 8 on the iPad

    why apple remove personal hotspot in ios 8 on the iPad ?
    i Am using my iPad as a hotspot to connect to the internet using my MacBook, now i can't
    really I need help , or I need an app to solve this missing option

    Well i got my iPad in India, Apple sells unlocked versions here. So i am tied with any provider, i can put in any carrier's sim card and it will work.
    after upgrading to ios8 the "Personal Hotspot" was not visible. So as you can see in the Discussion above after putting “something” in the Username under APN settings of Personal Hotspot the “Set up Personal Hotspot” menu appeared.  However I get the error about the Carrier if I tap on it…. Which does not make sense as I am using a unlocked iPad Air

  • Ipad air 2 there's no silent mode like the other iPads ?? the button that does it does not exist on the iPad air 2 what does replace it??

    ipad air 2 there's no silent mode like the other iPads ?? the button that does it does not exist on the iPad air 2 what does replace it??

    hi the older button could be set to either "force portrait mode" or "silent mode". now you can do both in the iOS control center (swipe from the bottom of the screen), so the need for a button isn't needed anymore.

  • Does SIRI work on the ipad?

    Does SIRI work on the ipad?

    Siri WILL work on "The New iPad" and it will have many of the new features in iOS 6. The iPhone 4S gets more features, but still the iPad 3 will get a healthy chunk. Unfortunately, users like me on my iPad 2, and other people on iPad 1 (who doesn't even get IOS 6) and iPhone 4, 3GS, iPod 4th Gen, don't Get Siri AT ALL and probably won't get it (fingers crossed though!
    Hope this helps, if not, messag me back!

  • Does anybody know if the ipad air 1 is using yosemite or something different? I don't know what type of safari i should install because it disappeared from the ipad. Thanks!

    Does anybody know if the ipad air 1 is using yosemite or something different? I don't know what type of safari i should install because it disappeared from the ipad. Thanks!

    YYosemite is a Mac OS and it doesn't run on an iPad. You cannot delete or install Safari on the iPad. It is on your device somewhere.
    Swipe from screen to screen to look for it.
    Check Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure that you didn't disable it.
    You can also reset the home screen layout and the icon will reappear - but the home screen will return to the way that it looked when you first activated your iPad. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • What's the go with this latest update. Half my apps don't work and the iPad runs slower? How do I go back to the old operating system?

    What's the go with this latest update. Half my apps don't work and the iPad runs slower? How do I go back to the old operating system?

    Make sure your apps are updated.  You might try Settings > iTunes & App Store > Automatic Downloads - Updates = "On".
    You cannot go back to an old operating system.

  • Can two bluetooth headsets access the ipad at the same time, for example, to watch a movie together on an airplane trip?  does bluetooth work when the ipad is in airplane mode?

    can two bluetooth headsets access the ipad at the same time, for example, to watch a movie together on an airplane trip?  does bluetooth work when the ipad is in airplane mode?

    This article: http://www.iphonefaq.org/archives/97903 helped to clear up confusion I had re your point
    when Airplane mode is on you can turn on either or both wifi and bluetooth
    It makes it clear that airplane mode turns off processes involving cellular networks, which doubtless involve rather strong transmissions, while allowing others such as wi-fi and Bluetooth.  I'm puzzled though why the iPod rather than the iPhone has the airplaine mode when it has no cellular capacity.  Perhaps it's there but doesn't actually do anything other than making it possible to conform to a request to switch into airplane mode, and display an airplane icon to satisfy flight attendants who are checkng up on you!
