Marduk wroteWhen u buy ipads, they look fast but after a while they can become laggy as hell, my friend has an ipad 2, and its so laggy that it laggs everywere, even clash of clans is laggy on it, i have an ipad 4, it started to get laggy alot, it was so smooth when i first got it, now its ****. I dont know if i helped you alot but thats the wisest thing that came out of me. If shes an ios fan just get her the ipad, spare her the complexity of exploring android and keep her life simple, android can be a complex and dangerous territory even when you think that it wont be.
Marduk, Ipad 2 was released on "March 2, 2011"
I Have an iPad Air (1), and still runs like a beast with a solid battery life.
