I want to give my mum my old IPad Mini, 1st gen. It’s mainly so she can FaceTime and get pictures of her grandkids so don’t need any/many apps.
If I factory reset it, can it be set up as a new iPad and still work?
iPad mini, iOS 9
You're welcome.
Yes, your mum should create her own Apple ID and Password, and it will work, obviously with the limits of its hardware structure and compatibility. The latest iOS supported is 9.3.5 (if it's a wifi model only) or 9.3.6 (if it's a wifi+cellular model). Consequently, it will only be able to support apps that require iOS 9 (the ones that require newer iOS versions cannot be downloaded / installed).

You need to perform these steps:--> What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
When done, that device is ready to start from scratch.

Thanks for the reply!
I suppose what I’m asking, is will it be able to work properly, access the App Store, etc AFTER the reset when setting it up again?
