It is stated that the unconventional approach extends the life of old devices and also significantly reduces the volume of electronic waste.
The image, posted by social media user X (formerly Twitter) @iconredesign, shows an iPad connected to a Windows 11 computer and used with a wireless keyboard. However, using an older iPad as an external display requires opening up the device and installing the Embedded DisplayPort (eDP) adapter.
