What to Do With an Old iPad? Repurposing It Should Not Feel Impossible.

Hard to sell
Reselling is a hassle for minimal return. Hours of listing and negotiating for $30-50 offers.
No Frame to Fit
There's no ready-made frame designed to hold an iPad elegantly. Nothing exists to buy and mount it.

DIY Is Hard
DIY mounting is complicated—drilling, wiring, measuring. And the result looks cheap.
No Apps Available
Very old iPads can't download new apps due to iOS restrictions.
