why can't old ipads connect to the sever when you buy it today
To me, the problems of not connecting to sever is I can't send messages or I can't get replies on mail.
iPad 2, iOS 9
Are you asking about the iPad 2 shown in your equipment line?
...when you buy it today?
The iPad 2 was discontinued 11 years ago last March. That is early Paleozoic in computer years. Your experence would be the same with most other 11-year old devices regardless of make.
The short answer: Old devices cannot handle modern security measures
👉🏻 Possible workaround:
If you are sent a a six-digit verification code to enter on an iDevice that can only handle four-digit codes, try this:
— Enter your Apple Account/Apple ID name
— when you are asked for your Apple Account/Apple ID password, do not hit "enter" yet.
— adding NO spaces, add the six-digit code prot to the END of your Apple Account/Apple ID password, then enter.
EXAMPLE:
— you Apple Account/Apple ID password is 77mypassnotyours
— you were sent the verification code 987654
— your enter 77mypassnotyours987654 in the password field in the old device.
