however, if it involves services that require more storage space, there may be charges that can cover our IT costs.
Currently supported iPad models include:
In April 2023, Apple introduced a new policy, ceasing maintenance for certain iPad models. These models, including iPad 1/2/3/4 and iPad Mini, are unable to download newly launched apps.
However, these models can still display digital photo albums, clocks, and weather through the browser, and the effect is not much different from the iPad version of iFramix.
The only limitation is on the use of the home camera feature.
Yes, you can download other software to use, such as weather, photo album, and clock apps.
However, many older iPad models may not be able to download the apps you need.In short, whether you use our software or other software, both are OK.
The main function of iCharguard is to prevent overcharging of the iPad, effectively extending the battery life of the iPad.
Experimental results have shown that it can extend the lifespan of the iPad by 25-30%.
You can also directly use the charging cable to power the iPad.
However, compared to using iCharguard, the battery life will be reduced by about 20%.
If you don't mind this battery consumption, you can definitely directly charge the iPad with a charging cable.
This is because the browser technology architecture of iPad 1 is completely different from later versions and extremely outdated.
We have developed a set of web applications specifically for the Safari browser on iPad 1, which currently only supports the electronic album function. More functions cannot be achieved temporarily.
