I found my first ever iPad in my basement and I wonder to myself, “Does this iPad worth anything now?”. Well first I asked my friends and family this question but I ended up with the same answer, NO!!! So the reason I’m asking this question(now on the internet)again is that I know some people on the internet who grew up with apple so I’m going to say it one last time, does it worth any money in 2022??

The standard retail answer, has already been given
several times to other inquiries in Community; and
also elsewhere online.
However should You continue using it; knowing the
iPad has expired security ~ and use 'Wi-Fi only' behind
the potential firewall, or other available screening; that
a modern up-to-date iPhone could wield, then it may
still be useful and safer.
An old Safari browser may still leak & won't see updates.
And older iOS within, can't challenge most confrontation.
But due to the out-of-date nature of electronics against
the upsurge of real-world security failings, to get a new
or newer more secure device is practical and advisable.
[I've found my old iPad mini 1.1 'wi-fi only' iOS 9.3.5 can
still visit sites and places online that are likely insecure.
In some sites where 'http' & newer 'https' appear in use.]
Just like my (recent given) iMac 2009 24-in. 2.33GHz mac
tops out with El Capitan; and not using my Apple ID, does
OK w/ Safari (w/ updated certificates) to see AK Weather.
A few times I've viewed youtube video; never logged-in.
And the unit has no affiliation with my online persona.
The mid 2009 iMac can't upgrade further, iPad not at all.
Old iPad content/use is limited; likely presents major leak.
These older products to me, have never had 'value'. Like
my Late 2005 Mac mini G4 (10.5.8). ~ It works, to see old
files on vintage software; & edits from old digital camera.
Could be crazy to use obsolete Apple items, on open internet.
Some filters exist; with ISP servers, hand-offs between devices.
But can't just ignore the risks, especially in past few years.
More modern devices, & PC/Mac will use better browsers.
Don't advocate irresponsibility by reselling; and stay safe!

If this iPad is 8-11 years old, then no.'
It is not worth anything in trade or re-sale value.
If the iPad is newer, like from 2014/2015 or even newer, then there maybe some value as these older iPads can still run the latest iPadOS versions.
No
Ok, thanks.
Is my iPad worth anything?
