My kids both wanted ipads but I dont have an Apple device to manage their accounts. I have an Android tablet I use to watch Netflix sometimes in the garage so Ill probably replace that with my first Apple device so that I have something to manage their accounts.

Let me know what youve got.

That hasn't received updates in 2 years, so it's not useful as a parental management device, no offense.

Tengis You're going to be very severely limited trying to use parental controls without having an Apple iPhone to manage family settings. You're either going to need to get an iPhone first, or you're going to need to get them used Android tablets.

EDIT - I was wrong, the person that gave it to me said it was gen 1 and I don't know (or care) about anything Apple so I took her word for it. It's a Gen 8 :facepalm:

I can't comprehend why a child would want an ipad over a custom built desktop rig and a nice monitor...

Both of my kids have gaming computers and they pretty much never use them. Its actually kind of depressing.

That sucks! I can't get mine off of their computers, but they don't have anything but Fire kids tablets either.....

You need to be on iOS 12 for screen time integration.

That iPad gets iOS 12 as its last update, but it would still be horrific in terms of child management from lacking newer parental features on top of the atrocious speed.

A gen 1 iPad had iOS 5 as it's latest update.

I was thinking of the 1st gen Air, my bad. That makes his comment even more ridiculous and pointless.

Yeah, that's what I thinking too. You can get an iPad 9th gen off of Amazon for $250 new, it should get another 4 iPadOS updates as well. That's probably the OPs best bet rather than saving a few bucks and going with something used and older.
