Racking your brains for what to do with your old iPad, now that 3 years on, Apple has released three new iPads, and the recently released iPad has everything you could ever hope for in an iPad? You are not alone. Like thousands of other iPad users, the need for the new iPad releases, all of which are must-haves, come with a huge challenge – you don’t want to waste money on a new device when the old one is still in great shape. In some cases, it’s even harder to find the right justification for buying the latest version of the iPad. One great option is selling your old iPad to companies like SellYourMac.com. By selling to a company like this you will get a great deal and know for certain that you will get paid.
The good news is that you no longer have to feel guilty about your old iPad since there is a lot you could do with that device, besides selling it to your local resellers or trading it for the Apple gift card. In as much as the old iPad is old selling, it’s also worth using. Check out what you could do with the device below.
New Uses for that Old iPad
- Turn it into a full-time photo frame
You no longer have to use and struggle with the small and low-resolution photo frames of your yesteryear. Your old iPad makes an excellent frame for your digital photo/ photos because it delivers the highest photo-framing capability and experience. However, the winning bit has to do with the fact that you get to rotate your photos by creating a never-ending photo slideshow featuring hundreds, if not thousands of your best photos and memories.
There’s one catch, though; Apple got rid of the iOS, Picture Frame dedicated to the photo frame function, a few years back. But there is an alternative to this – you could turn your iPad into a photo frame by going to your iCloud account in the photo album where you can set up a dedicated photo album. Once this is done, you’ll be required to add a few tweaks to your device’s settings to ensure that the iPad displays your photos in slideshow. The other option involves getting an app specific for displaying your photos, for example, LiveFrame or Framee.
- Create a dedicated e-book/ Magazine reader out of the iPad
If books make your days happier and complete, then you could turn that old iPad into a reading hub. The best bit is that you can download any number of top e-book reading apps such as Kindle, iBooks, Kobo, or Nook. There are magazine options as well.
- Turn your iPad into a dedicated music server
The other smart use of your old iPad lies in music. If you love music as much as, or half as much as most of us, this will be the best use of your old iPad and the best bit is that this will take away all the guilt that might come with buying the latest version of the iPad. Your iPad is one of the most powerful music machines, and it promises to give you infinite options when it comes to music. All you need to make this work is a wireless speaker, then queue your best tunes and have fun!
