Ask HN: How to make older iPad/iPhone usable?

There is pretty big second hand market for older apple devices. I was happy for many year with ipad 2. Now, friend asked for device for childrens to play (destroy) so swiftly recommended ipad 3. To surprise you can't install anything on it due outdated firmware.

"iPadOS 15 is compatible with the iPad mini 4 and later, iPad Air 2 and later, iPad 5th generation and later, and all iPad Pro models, and was released on September 20, 2021"

*Remind me forgotten still "physicaly" working iphone 5 in desk drawer.

Any trick to use older apple devices as normal ?

Thank you
