Your iPad mini cannot be updated to iOS 10 or later major versions of iOS, as the internal hardware does not meet the minimum technical requirements for new versions of iOS/iPadOS. I am sorry that you had to learn all of this, but this does not change any of the facts regarding these very old iOS devices.Your very old first generation iPad mini can only be updated to iOS 9.3.5 (WiFi Only models) or iOS 9.3.6 (WiFi & Cellular models).Īpple formally ended update support for iPad mini in September 2016. Get the largest internal data storage model you can afford as NO Apple iOS device has expandable storage. ( 1st gen Pencil support )Ģ016, 9.7 inch screen iPad Pro models ( 1st gen Pencil support )Ģ017, 9.7 inch screen iPad 5th gen modelsĢ018, 9.7 inch screen iPad 6th gen models (1st gen Pencil support )Ģ019, 10.2 inch screen iPad 7th gen models ( 1st gen Pencil support )Ģ020, 10.2 inch screen iPad 8th gen models. If you need OR ONLY able to purchase older, less expensive iPad models, look at older IPads from 2014 and later.Īll of these older model iPads below CAN run the latest iPadOS versions and the up and coming iPadOS 15.Ģ015-2017, 12.9 inch screen iPad Pro models. There are PLENTY of newer, older iPad models that can run the latest, current versions of iPadOS. If you need/want an iPad with an up to date iPadOS with access to current, updated apps, then you really need to seriously consider a purchase of a new iPad model OR a much, MUCH “newer” and less expensive, refurbished or used iPad models, from better known, trusted sources, like other Apple product/device retailers/resellers, some locally or from online, on the Web/Internet, capable of running the latest iPadOS versions.
These newer iOS/iPadOS devices must use your same Apple ID user account and password.įailing that OR IF NO joy, then there is nothing more to be done.
Then go back to your older iPad, open the iOS App Store, go to the Purchases section of the store app, search for the app/s you wish to try and download to that older iPad and see if an older version of the app is allowed to be downloaded/installed to that older iPad. If you own another much newer iOS device that can run iOS/iPadOS 13 and later, you can install the most recent version app/s onto that more recent iOS device. There is one last thing you can try/attempt, if you need older versions of apps.
