So it is basically useless? Yes/no?

Most modern apps your mom might want to use, such as Netflix, Youtube, etc., will not run on an iPad from 8 years ago. It is now too old, too under powered, no longer supported and completely incapable of running the more modern 64 bit software.


For me, the iPad would be completely useless. If you can return the iPad for refund, I would do that. ebay is not a great place to buy an iPad.


If money is an issue, consider buying a refurbished iPad directly from Apple, which will come with current software, a one year warranty and will be much more reliable.
