Only to newer iOS/iPadOS releases. Once it's no longer supported, it's a picture frame.
I have a lovely iPad Retina which has a tiny crack on one corner, so it's unsellable. Still has a few days of battery life on 1 charge, runs iOS 9 fine, but that means an unusable: browser, email client, FB/Twitter clients, chat client, and almost everything else.
It talks to Hotmail, and none of my 6 email accounts, including plain IMAP. It can play movies and show pictures, and read ebooks, and basically nothing else.
