The iPad mini 1 is an iPad2 in a smaller form factor. It can run iOS9 just about. My MIL, who lives in another country, has one that I won at work and while it isn't supported by the latest Skype (which they wanted to use) it runs FaceTime perfectly and is a decent enough browser. It also integrates perfectly with Apple's iCloud Photo sharing so she can see her grandkids in the photos we upload everyday.

Yeah, Apple services work but very few 3rd party apps(i.e facebook doesn't work)

I can live with that!
