It's been 5 years since the iPad was unveiled - look how terrible the first one was

The iPad Air 2, which Apple launched late last year, is a super slim, powerful, and gorgeous device.

But I couldn't say the same about the first iPad. The original iPad was a revolutionary device at the time - some believed it could eventually replace your laptop.

Critics praised Apple for launching apps that were actually optimized for the iPad's larger screen that weren't just stretched-out iPhone apps.

Still, like any first-generation tech product, the original iPad had a lot of limitations.
